Yea, that flat roof is brilliant idea.

Hope they put some kind of huge snow scraper on the top of it or pay guys to stand up there during the winter and scrape it off. Looks like a possible metrodome accident all over again.

Anyways, been checking out the webcam every day. Looks like they flattened out the dirt in the area and are working on the blacktop. Might be just the 1st layer and one more later on.

When is this thing supposed to be opened? I have to get to a game at the Stick before it is gone.

2014 season... so should be good for pre season games by august 2014.

With the help of Marvin49 I think I have this figured out. Using Google Earth, some research and the help of Marvin49 here is a diagram of the area for those not familiar with it. (RIGHT CLICK AND VIEW IMAGE FOR BIGGER VERSION AND TO READ SMALLER PRINT) P.S. Forgot the mention the road directly under 49ers HQ is no longer there... it's all dirt...

Picture of the finished parking garage across from stadium. It's being built right now, can see from Great America Observation webcam on the far left. It's a pretty good start... looks like most levels are complete


From the groundbreaking ceremony... parking garage in back... Hyatt behind that

Nice layout, but Great America isn't a 6 Flags park.

this.

the one in gurnee, near chicago is, but the santa clara one never was. cowpukes stadium in arlington is also right next to the original six flags ("over texas")

Looks like you got most of it right. 3 things...

1) As mentioned by another poster, Great America isn't a Six Flags
2) The Debartolo/Montana thing is still a bit unclear. There are two properties....one right next to the parking garage and the other across from the soccer field. There is a road between them. I'm not sure which of the two (or both) would be used for the project. Both have been leveled.
3) You are correct about the street. Centennial Blvd has been destroyed, but I think it will still exist as a very narrow road adjacent to the stadium when it's all completed. I got that impression watching one of the Santa Clara City Council meetings.

Thanks Marvin... not a big deal with Six Flags/Great America... it's basically centered around the parking, the stadium, and the the two close hotels... although seen there are a few more another 1/2 mile or so out of the picture.

Also, so you don't think the parking lot for the Hilton could be used as overflow parking if need be? Looks like there will be enough with Great America/parking garage but during games where the park is open they might need more.

Oh, I'm sure that lot will be used on gamedays. Too much money to be made not to use it. Several businesses in the area will also lease out their lots (Citrix, Yahoo, etc). Some of those companies probably won't be wild about drunken fans in their lots, but there is alot of money to be made.

Yeah, there are several more hotels. One of them is the Marriot. Great America used to be Marriots Great America.

It's going to be one great area full of things to do but it looks like it will be pretty dang expensive. Especially when it 1st opens. Hotels will probably jack up there prices around game day.... same with Great America, the parking garage, golf, etc. A sports bar or night club/hotel from Eddie D/Joe M would be icing on the cake. They would really be able to clean up.

P.S. Do you know what those two dark grey parking lots are for that are in the lower left hand corner of the Great America area? Is that employee parking for GA?

Also, you would think the SC Convention Center will get a lot more involved with 49ers related things as well. Didn't they have the draft party there? They could do a lot of family related things say on Saturdays 49er related. Also, GA will definitely benefit if they work together with the 49ers for say a buy a 9er ticket get 1/2 off admission. Could be a great combo...

Not sure what those lots are for, but I can't imagine they would allow that lot not to fill when they can get al least $30 per space. I don't think thats employee parking tho. Those spots are right next to the entrance to the Park.

I'm sure the Convention Center will get involved in a big way.

One last thing... do you know what those two big white circles are to the right of the stadium area just below 49ers HQ? Do they own that part?

Side note... the Hilton/Hyatt are pricey at 150-200 but you could probably save 10.00 plus by not having to take a cab to the stadium. The Hyatt you might have to but the Hilton you could just cut across the two parking lots. Apparently it's 676 yards (.38 miles, the hyatt is .43 miles) Would be awesome staying there and getting to look out at the new stadium.

To Illustrate my point...



Red: Entrance to Great America. All that parking is right next to the entrance.
Teal: The Marriot
Purple: Yahoo (More parking).
Yellow: Citrix (More Parking)

In the lower left is Mission Junior College with still MORE parking. Just to the south of that right next to the Freeway is the Mercado Shopping Mall.

If you don't want to park, the Light Rail also goes right down Tasman (the street DIRECTLY in front of the stadium).

Its a bit of a tight fit....I acknowledge that, but that is one hell of an entertainment district. It'll also be great for Super Bowl weeks. Press Row at the Convention Center, executives can golf, Many Hotels in the area, kids can hit up Great America.....and nobody has to so much as get in a car.
