The San Francisco 49ers are looking to make NFL stadiums more accommodating for the expanding group of female team staff members around the league.

At next weeks owners' meeting, the 49ers will propose that all NFL stadiums have "three separate and permanent locker rooms to be exclusively designated for female football staff on game days as follows: game officials, home club staff members, and visiting club staff members," according to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle.

If passed, all teams would need to comply by 2021.

Last year, San Francisco hired Katie Sowers - the NFL's second full-time female coach in league history.
