49ers will fly to Colorado tonight to begin acclimating to altitude for Mexico City game
The 49ers won’t fly home after today’s game in Dallas. Instead, they’ll immediately begin preparation for next Sunday night’s game in Mexico City.
The team plane will fly to Colorado Springs tonight, as coach Kyle Shanahan believes spending a week at altitude will help the 49ers’ chances against the Vikings next week at Estadio Azteca, the highest stadium the NFL ever plays in.
“I think it helps,” Shanahan said. “I grew up mainly in Denver, and I know how bad it would be for me. No matter how good of shape you’re in, you come home from college and you run up the stairs and you’re out of breath. It takes some time to get used to altitude. I know when you go to play in Denver it’s always a challenge, and Mexico City is higher than Denver. It’s not make or break, but I do think it makes you a couple percent better.”

Because the team is away from home in back-to-back weeks, they will remain on the road after facing the Cowboys. The 49ers will head to Colorado Springs for practice leading up to the Vikings game so that they can adjust to the altitude they will deal with in Mexico City, which sits 7,350 feet above sea level.
