NBC News interviews Super Bowl players about the 49ers substation theory. A former Niner notes 'all the trees are dead' near the substation, while an aerospace engineer says 'there's no reason not to look into it.'
"We kind of brought it up and it's kind of like a joke, right? But it's odd, because you look over the fence where the power station is and all the trees are dead."
"I saw it was there, right next to the pool, like you can't miss it. There's no reason not to look into it, right?"
"This is how urban legends are started. Once someone says something, once it starts leaking to other people, it only adds fuel to the fire."
