Well, the good news is the NFL has decided to kick down $200 million to Jed to get the new Santa Clara stadium byuilt. Word is, the ground-breaking will be ‘soon.’ Whether Santa Clara was hoodwinked by the 49ers or not, the 49ers have received an $850 million loan from Goldman Sachs, Bank of America-Merrill Lynch, and U.S. Bank to finance the construction. I don’t see Santa Clara getting screwed over by this deal a la Dirty Al and Oakland. The team being down there will generate tons of money for the city, and at some point in the not-too-distant future, Santa Clara will get a Super Bowl of its own. Granted, most of the hotels are in San Jose and San Francisco, but hey, residuals, taxes, and cash will still rain down on them.
While necessary to keep the team here in the Bay Area, this santa Clara stadium is pretty much a double-edged sword for me, as the new stadium will be wonderful, and spiffy, and costly. And further away for me. That being said, I think 65-70% of the fans come from the peninsula, so the driving difference isn’t that big a deal. I’m sure with overruns, the final cost will be near $1.3 billion. Which means that Jed will pass the cost to the fans. I have no idea of the pricing structure coming, but seat licenses are skyrocketing, and the seats themselves are as well. For a spot in the new stadium, fans must pay a one-time fee for the rights to a seat, and club seats range from $20,000 to $80,000 each. Then they must buy the tickets, which can cost $325 to $375 per game. However, Jed said those prices apply to only 9,000 seats. “There’s definitely going to be affordable seats for everybody in this building.”
Affordable for who? Mitt Romney? I guess well just have to wait and see what this brings. Word is, if they get humping on this soon, they could be ready for the 2014 season. That would be great, but it would also be sad to not have the team playing in San Francisco, the Niners’ home for the past 66 years. Carmen Policy, hired to try and keep the team in the City, said recently that San Francisco is still a solid Plan B for a stadium site. Good for you, Carmen. The only way this comes about is of something majorly stupid happens. Like Jed York caught on tape trying to buy liquor and gambling licenses with a briefcase full of cash from and undercover FBI agent.
As far as the Super Bowl goes, about the only thing I’ve seen about it was Madonna dogging Rob Gronkowski about his ankle. She told him, tape it up, take an anti-inflammatory, and get your butt out there. Apparently Madonna is also on the shelf with a hamstring strain. She says she’ll gut it out though. Don’t know how she’ll get through the usually interminable half time show. Like I said, I’ll be skiing. NE bursts Coughlin’s bubble.

Go Pats! Skiing fell through. Took the son (and his buddy) golfing instead. Missed the 1st Q, saw the drive at the clubhouse. Pats O line looked real good on that last drive. It’s al about the adjustments now.
Madonna looks like and “old-bag” that any wrinkled-up old limpy on this blog would love to bend over.

Sorry, Chuck: you made your choice, and this is the shit you got.
Well, today at least, you did ruin it. I can’t follow shit for shit on this thread, lol.
Who cares, I’m assuming I’m not missing much of Denny’s bullshit
