The NFL just approved $200 million of funding for the Santa Clara stadium. A big step forward today...

So what's left to do before they start digging then? I thought that was the last major hurdle.

Guess that's what happens when:

1. Blackout (twice) on MNF

2. Get visiting fans complaining about the stadium

3. Have playoff games in SF, showing that we need a new stadium

As much as I want the Niners to stay in SF, there's no way the City can keep up transportation wise and we can't risk Jed moving the team out of the Bay. Santa Clara will be cool, but will need to build up the character the Stick had

The stadium was getting built before all this happened. Everyone already knew candlestick was a dump, and had for years.
