seems like a lot of people wanna keep bay meadows there. there'll be a lot of red tape i think, not as much as other places.... but could be an option. still like the santa clara idea.

Last week I was in sacramento, to the east is a old mining pit, either Anderson or tychert. This would be a great place to put the Golden State 49ers.

I don't mind Santa Clara as long as we keep the name the San Francisco 49ers

First of all, Bay Meadows shouldn't be torn down. It's got so much historical value and I've spent too many hours there betting on ponies running in circles. Go watch that Seabiscuit movie, a lot of it happened at Bay Meadows.

Anyways, I thought they sold that land to... condo developers already? It's a horrible thought that they are selling it to make condos...

Anyways, I'd hate for the 49ers to be blamed in any way for the destruction of Bay Meadows. I agree, it'd be an awesome place for them to play if they can't actually get SF to come up with a reasonable plan. It's close to 101/280/92/San Mateo Bridge. It's not that far from the Millbrae BART station, they could easily get some sort of bussing between the two. Caltrans has a freaking stop at the place already. Desperate gamblers and drunks already know how to get there.

It seems like a great opportunity. Just doesn't sit quite right with me though.
