San Francisco 49ers

A little sleep was lost by the San Francisco 49ers before Super Bowl LVIII.
The 49ers are in Las Vegas for their big game against the Kansas City Chiefs, and early on Thursday morning, a fire alarm went off at the team hotel. Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle was informed by a loss-prevention officer at the Hilton Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa that the alarm went off on Thursday at approximately six in the morning and was muted about ten minutes later. It seems that the estimate was underestimated.
Long snapper Taybor Pepper of the 49ers claims that the fire alarm went off for eighteen minutes.

Either way, guests did not have to evacuate the hotel because it was a false alarm. A security manager for the hotel said engineering is working to determine what caused the alarm but added that there should be no issues moving forward.
Kyle Shanahan said he and his coaching staff were already awake and working when the alarm went off. However, the 49ers coach joked that players were all complaining about the incident.
Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers coaches were already awake for the 6 am fire alarm.
Before Sunday’s game, the Niners have plenty of time to get their rest. But it’s not just the fire alarm that has caused problems for them in Las Vegas.
