The San Francisco Bay Area seems to be a hotbed of stadium news in the past few months. Stanford opened a new football stadium in September, the 49ers announced plans to abandon Candlestick Point for a site near San Jose, and the Oakland A’s announced plans to build their new stadium in Fremont. Not to be outdone, the University of California is also planning renovations to their football stadium to include a new football training facility. The news on this plan (e.g., see article in the San Jose Mercury News) have been the numerous lawsuits filed to prevent the project from going forward. Reasons for the objections range from an environmental loss of rare trees to improper designs for an area that lies atop a fault line.
