U.S. Bank and San Francisco 49ers Announce Partnership

Includes "U.S. Bank Coin Flip Kid" and a Special Giveaway for Fans When Chicago
Visits Candlestick
SAN FRANCISCO--(Business Wire)--
U.S. Bank and the San Francisco 49ers today announced a new partnership that
will give young 49ers fans a chance to be the "U.S. Bank Coin Flip Kid" at every
49ers home game. At five of the remaining home games, beginning November 1, a
young fan between the ages of 6 and 13, selected from entries received at
49ers.com, will receive two tickets to the game, a parking pass, tickets to the
pre-game 49ers tailgate, and the opportunity to accompany team captains to
midfield for the coin flip.

At this Sunday`s game, October 11, against the Atlanta Falcons, U.S. Bank will
donate the opportunity to be the U.S. Bank Coin Flip Kid to an organization that
it has supported for many years - Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco (BGCSF).
Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco has selected Daneil, a 12-year-old student
at Marina Middle School to be the "U.S. Bank Coin Flip Kid" because he has been
an active member of the Boys & Girls Club for more than five years and he
maintains a 3.5 grade point average.

"We are really excited that U.S. Bank provided one of our youth members with
this opportunity," noted BGCSF president Rob Connolly. "This is a great way to
acknowledge Daneil`s stellar academic record and involvement with the Club`s
swim team and school basketball team."

In addition to radio and program ads that will demonstrate U.S. Bank`s support
of the Bay Area and the 49ers, U.S. Bank will also be the presenting sponsor of
the 49ers November 12 home game against Chicago. At that game, all fans in
attendance will receive a limited edition poster featuring the six 2009 49ers
captains: Vernon Davis, Eric Heitmann, Michael Robinson, Justin Smith, Takeo
Spikes and Patrick Willis.

"We are proud to bring U.S. Bank into our family," said Andy Dolich, 49ers chief
operating officer. "The fact that they stepped up to provide fans with this
giveaway item says a lot about their commitment to our fans."

"We are pleased to partner with such an important part of our community, with
such a rich tradition, as the San Francisco 49ers," noted Michael Walker, U.S.
Bank Northern California market president. "We are ecstatic about the
opportunity the U.S. Bank Coin Flip Kid provides the Bay Area youth, and pleased
that we could give one of those opportunities to our long time partner, Boys &
Girls Clubs of San Francisco."
