probably just a bargaining ploy to push the SF politicos around, but who knows.
I think the 49er's just want to build a stadium with a large parking lot, but the SF politicians want them to build this whole retail complex with housing which adds lots of costs to the infrastructure, and the 49er owners don't want to have anything to do with it. Throw in the fact that the mayor was not very involved in the negotiations, and everyone involved was passing the buck along, nothing was getting done. I think it's just a ploy to bring all the parties to the table and talk.

There was a long waiting list for season tickets for a long time, but now you can even buy tickets on game day! But hopefully the fans will start coming back and we can watch some real football again! Alex Smith has progressed along nicely and that Frank Gore is something else to watch We are still a ways off, but at least we are .500 at this point in the season, and I told myself at the beginning of the season, if we can finish at .500, it would have been a good season for us this year!
