My brother and sis-in-law live there (circa San Tomas and El Camino). To say they are less than thrilled would be an understatement.
Where exactly is it going in, by Great America?

Since it’s the home of the x86 technology (still in your Intel i7 ‘puter, you betcha!), may be we oughta change their name to Silicon Valley 86ers!
To: Revolting cat!
86 means to throw out and/or ban.
I’d go with 77ers...

That’s why I’d go with 86. What is 77?
To: PapaNew
Yes, but it would be right near Maria Elana’s, you could get excellent Mexican food a short walk from the park.

77 is like 69, but you get 8 more.

Your friends like traffic?
To: AnotherUnixGeek
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. They still have a quarterback who isn’t in the top 50 in the NFL.

I’m a 49ers fan from the South Bay. I have never heard another 49ers fan say they want them to move down here. It’s stupid. It’s a terrible place to move them. But they will do it anyway.
To: nickcarraway
I know. My office used to be over there in the same area. What a pain in the ass it was. Not too bad on Sunday though.

Its stupid. Its a terrible place to move them.
The South Bay is a better spot for an NFL team than either SF or Oakland. There are more people here, and more families. Median income is significantly higher in the South Bay than in either SF or Oakland. Infrastructure around the Great America area is much better suited to a large public venue than anywhere in SF, and the weather is far superior. More 49ers season ticket holders live in the South Bay than in SF.
No, it's actually a great place to move them. That's why the Raiders might end up sharing the stadium with the 49ers. The problem is that the city of Santa Clara is going to soak its taxpayers to get it done.

Yup, on one of the nearby parking lots.

Martin, you brightened my Sunday morning.

“traffic will be a nightmare””
The games are on Sunday and it is 10 days a year.
Fans start streaming in 3-4 hours before kick off.
It is right off 101, near 237 and 85 and 280
Traffic nightmare? NOT!
it would have been nice to be next to ATT Park, but SF did not even get close to getting it done
plus the weather is better
As a conservative and a Taxpayer, I do not like this at all, but the duly elected city government voted and approved it. So, if you don’t like it, work within the law to vote them out, or file a lawsuit, or move, or whatever you would like to legally do within the confines of the Constitution (Fed and State) and the city charter of Santa Clara.

Did you have a nice vacation? Thread started December 3. LOL
