SF > SC
OK, lets not start this crap again.
I live MUCH closer to SC than to SF and in a perfect world the team would stay in SF...but this isn't a perfect world. If SF could present a workable plan, the Niners would jump on it.
This whole SC bashing is REALLY annoying.
Not bashing SC, I would just rather it stay in SF.
Its not a matter of bashing. Its just a fact that SC is a third tier city with no national much less international recognition. I know people have lots of pride for their city but face it...Chicago, New York, LA, San Francisco, these are world class cities, global destinations, Santa Clara does not belong anywhere close to that list.
So the NY Giants play in NY? I thought they played in that world class location known as New Jersey. LA doesn't even have a team so why are they in this discussion.
Would you rather have the team playing on radioactive sand or would you settle for Santa Clara. Santa Clara can't be any farther away than say NY to New Jersey or Boston to Gillette Stadium.
Both the Jets and the Giants play there. Remember?
In any case I think you are missing a fine point here. They have how many teams in New York?
Now not counting the Bills we have the Rangers, the Yankees, the Mets, the Knicks, the Giants and the Jets.
Real Estate is PRIME in the NYC. You gotta have the location to build the place to play so everyone can see them. Now imagine if evey team had a venue IN NYC. Central park would cease to exist imho.
We 9er fans have to compete with ONE other team in the City. And it's no competition because it's Baseball and we're Football. Offsetting seasons.
As far as no national or international recognition, I would suggest the next time you go on a vacation to visit a travel agent in that part of the world and check the brochures. Cause I'm pretty sure that San Francisco IS more recognized than you think Gonzo. Hell the Japanese flock to the area in droves. Don't even get me started on the 3rd tier statement.
