G. Ardoin, great information. I am going to post the number for all readers to be able to call to oppose the 49ers moving.

The idea of the 49ers buying an amusement park as part of the deal is ridiculous. They can barely run the 49ers. What makes them think they can run or have some other outside group run the an amusement park.

Great point that the York’s have done nothing for the team since taking over. The only thing they finally got right was firing Mike Nolan (about 6 months too late) and giving the reins to Mike Singletary.

And yes I’m mad as hell at Gavin Newsom, because due to his personal problems he took his eye off then ball and screwed the stadium deal up.

This is a great point because even when he had his eye on the ball for a new 49ers stadium Newsom had it tied to San Francisco bringing the olympics into town. Now that the deal to bring the world games has failed the mayor seems like he is not putting as much effort to building a stadium and keeping the 49ers in town. Now Newsom is looking towards his run as governer of California. All he has been offering and continues to offer is rhetoric. We need action.

I would be less against the 49ers moving if the York’s had fully engaged the citizens and truly got our input. They balked at proposals at different sites saying the fans experience will be ruined with transportation and traffic issues. How did he come to this conclusion? Did the York’s ask any citizens if they think their game day experience would be ruined by the current proposals?

Item 1…If any of you San Franciscans or Santa Clarans would like to help out the loyal opposition to the Santa Clara 49er stadium deal. Please contact Bill Bailey of Santa Clara Plays Fair at(877)703-4300.
Item 2…Cedar Fair the operators of Great America is not on board with the York/Santa Clara Pols on the stadium deal.Which is why they are contemplating a lawsuit. They would really like the 49ers to buy the amusement park, and hire outside folks to run it, which isn’t going to happen. The last time an amusement park teamed up with a pro-football team it was called Astro-Land, and it was located next to the Houston Oilers football stadium, which both may i add do not exist anymore.
Item 3…Since the York Family has assumed control of the San Francisco 49ers what have they done right as far as the team is concerned? NOTHING! Santa Clara should be very wary of sweet deals from the Yorks.
