Mills to SF: No mall, no stadium
In one of the more creative threats in recent memory, the Mills Corporation is saying it will pull the plug on a planned stadium project for the San Francisco 49ers - first proposed way back in 1997, and essentially comatose in recent years - unless the city lets it retain exclusive negotiating rights for a separate waterfront mall development. "It's pretty clear that if this goes down the way it seems like it's going down, I'm sure Mills will reconsider its position on the Candlestick project," said a company spokesman. "It's hard to imagine that after spending 3 years and $10 million on this project, they'd want to go forward on another." The camel's nose was not available for comment.
