There are these good reasons why the 49ers will probably get a stadium (likely privately financed) in Santa Clara:

1) There is plentiful space for the stadium AND parking lots at the Santa Clara location.

2) The stadium will have a Santa Clara VTA light rail station right next to it, which means it's easily reachable from almost anybody with acces to Santa Clara County's light rail system. It should be noted the light rail line from the stadium site goes directly west into Mountain View, where you can connect with Caltrain commuter rail up to San Francisco.

Yep. I'm sitting about 100 yards from that Mountain View station right now! :)

More important than mass transit, though, is the fact that the various surface streets and nearby freeways will allow the new stadium to empty out quickly and efficiently. At the 'stick I do a post-game tailgate to wait out the 90 minutes of nearly stopped traffic at the end of every regular season game. I'll be happy when I can get home two hours earlier because traffic can actually move (and because I'm 30 miles closer to the stadium!)
