First it was a done deal. Now the team may not be leaving SF after all. Talks are still underway in SF for a new stadium. I've been skeptical of the whole Santa Clara thing from the start. When the Giants were looking to move there (the same plot of land I think), they needed public funding to build a new stadium. The SC voters said no. Now the Niners are going to build a stadium there without public assistance? How can that be when SF voters approved a $100 million bond measure for a stadium at Candlestick point?
If the Niners need public funds from SC, they'll probably get the same answer the Giants did, a big "No". Which will leave the team with a choice of dealing with SF or moving out of the area entirely. Would anyone root for the Los Angeles 49ers?
