Delighted: The Niners are staying. Los Angeles doesn't get them. No other city with deep pockets gets them. We keep them. The legendary franchise lives on.

PI$$ED: Idiot boy lost the team. I can't believe this guy is Lt. Governor now. Gavin Newsom had every advantage in the world to keep the Niners in SF, and managed to urinate on everything. This guy is going to be your Governor one day. Be scared. Be very, very scared. This just shows the further gentrification of San Francisco. At one time, this was a progressive, get-it-done, city. It's still progressive, but for all the wrong reasons. You can't get anything done in San Francisco now. Business friendly? Hardly. Idiots. Dumb, stupid idiots.

For those of you complaining that "it's gonna cost an arm and a leg to attend games" and the "ordinary fan gets jobbed," please take this clue. I heard the same dire predictions about AT&T (formerly PacBell) Park. Is/was it true? No -- ordinary fans like Bill Bird get to take in Giants games all the time -- far more than I ever took in at cruddy Candlemistake Park.

Umm...Yeah...Tony....Dats what I said. Tis the point I made.

But Gavin Newsom is still a major dirtbag for losing this team to Santa Clara. Never should have happened.

He banked on the Niners not moving. He thought he had the power at the table.

He didn't.

That said, I don't think he did it. I think SF was just never a good option for them (on that site anyway). To many roadblocks. Too many hidden expenses.

I l;ive in SJ and I'm happy to see them move closer, but I would have actually rather had them build on the same site. It just doesn't make any sense.

This would have been ideal.

Was there room to build next door to the Stick? This is what was done in NY for all 3 of their new stadiums (Metlife for Giants/Jets, Citifield for Mets, new Yankee stadium). The thing I loved the most about Candlestick was the pre-game overhead shots.....

BTW, as for Santa Clara.....no one cares that the Jets/Giants play in New Jersey.

RT @mattbarrows: York calls a 2015 opening date "a certainty" but that he is hopeful the facility will be open for 2014 ..

Plus at least now in S.C. you can have it in a very nice location, free of winds and such. Less character but more super bowl friendly.

The 49ers have to be delighted. Their stadium was approved. They qualified for league loan money. And they got a minority owner.
