New stadium info: Stadium to cost over 1.2bil - Countdown to August 2014

[ChrisPozz]

On the ESPN boards I had started a thread in 2005 with all the stadium updates in it. This thread will be the exact same thing as that as long as it is accepted here. Anything I personally post on stadium updates will be in this thread.

Most defiantly a +1

Agreed!!

Thanks Pozz, forgot to mention I stickied it for you.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Thanks, Ray. That would have saved me 5-10 minutes each time if I would have had that option on the old boards. That'll be nice.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Haha! No kidding. So many times I just gave up trying to find stuff not on the first few pages.

Santa Clara or SF next to the Naval Yard is what it will probably come down to. Carmen Policy was on the paper a few weeks ago trying to get the word out about a possible site in the city. Going to really depend on how the Yorks plan to finance the stadium and how much involvement the city's residents will have here.

Looks more and more likely I'm driving down 280 to catch a game in the future.

Looking at the model, it looks like a really nice stadium. When would it be completed?

I really want to be excited about this. Just can't get there yet. Hate to sound so cup half empty but it just seems like there is still some significant hurdles to get over. Someone feel free to tell me how wrong I am!

You are not wrong at all. Right now all we have is talk, until there is a stadium, there is no stadium. However, this latest step taken by the Santa Clara City Counsel just restates their commitment to the project.

Right now, the only 'big hurdle' between talk and shovels is the private financing. Unfortunately, this is where the idea of cohabitating with the Raiders comes in.

I wonder if they consider it after what happened last week. the 49ers and raiders in the same area would be no bueno

Unfortunately, what happened last week will have little to no bearing at all on the stadium sharing part of the relationship. It might influence some creative insurance, but if the money dictates we have to share, then we share.

What I will dislike the most is changing all the colors to something neutral, removing the 49er logos and the small things that create a strong 49er environment.

I will add this. Where last Saturday's events might have a strong negative influence is if the relationship is intended to be a sub-lease relationship.

A new stadium would make going to a 49ers game fun again.

Yes it would! I have my tent ready and I very much look forward to being one of the first in the gates in 2015!!

Like M Dubb said, it's more about the money/community backing more than anything. However, it will have some bearing on the situation with the gang fights from that one event.

The only thing, however, is that although the area where the proposed new 49er stadium would be is safer than the location of the current stadium, Santa Clara County itself is not free from gang violence and I would imagine the new stadium would be an easier time for the southbay versions of gangs in SF to get to.
