49ers to ask for $200m from Santa Clara
San Francisco Chronicle columnists Phillip Matier and Andrew Ross report that the 49ers are planning to ask the city of Santa Clara for as much as $200 million towards the team's planned $800 million stadium, with a ballot issue to go before voters in November. Given California residents' legendary antipathy toward stadium funding, you can pretty much mark this one dead in the water right now.

maybe california is the only state in the union in which big-time sports are overwhelmed by other attractions: beautiful scenery and climate, great people and sane leadership.
