The San Francisco 49ers will not be headed to Los Angeles. Or Oakland. That is because the club apparently has won maybe its biggest game of the year with a victory in Tuesday's election in Santa Clara, Calif. Measure J has passed meaning voters have approved $114 million in tax money to go toward a new stadium for the franchise that will be built adjacent to a Great America amusement park. The plan is for the 49ers to open play in their new $937 million stadium in 2014 and get out of dilapidated Candlestick Park. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, results were trickling in late Tuesday night, but a "crush of mail ballots" reported just after the polls closed was enough alone to signal a victory for the 49ers, who spent $4 million campaigning for the issue. A loss would have sent the franchise reeling and back to the drawing board without a solid plan. Source: NFPost
