Santa Clara voters may be getting a lot more than they bargained for if they approve the new 49ers stadium - like maybe the Oakland Raiders. Consider: Both the environmental review and the design for the proposed 68,000-seat stadium have been drawn up to include the possibility of a second team moving in, on the recommendation of NFL bosses. If the City Council certifies the environmental impact report next month, the two-team option will be written into any stadium proposal that goes before voters. That way, "if the two-team concept turns out to be practical and doable, we have the right regulations to proceed," said Niners VP Lisa Lang. Source: San Francisco Chronicle
I wouldn't blame them for doing that. Both teams have easily the worst "shacks" in their respective conferences. Looks like we'll be getting the California Raiders/California 49ers if that happens.
