Off Topic: Santa Clara OK's Study Of 49ers Stadium Plan

Wow. I'm pretty excited about all of this, given the fact that the new stadium would almost be in my backyard -- even if it is 6 years away from reality (assuming everything goes smoothly).

In any event, the City of Santa Clara and the 49'ers are one step closer.

The San Francisco 49ers Tuesday night took the first small step on a journey that could take them 38 miles south to a new home when the Santa Clara City Council unanimously approved beginning a feasibility study on building a new stadium for the team in the parking lot of the Great America amusement park.

The council spent two hours hearing public comments from local business leaders and residents, who overwhelmingly supported the stadium proposal. Santa Clara Mayor Patricia Mahan counted herself as an enthusiastic supporter of the idea of the 49ers playing in Santa Clara.
