Santa Clara vote pushed back to 2009
The Santa Clara city council voted this week to extend the negotiating period for a new San Francisco 49ers stadium until Feb. 1, meaning the earliest a public vote could be held on the plan would be next June. ("There are details to still be ironed out," said councilmember Dominic Caserta, which should come as a surprise to no one.) This could open a small window for San Francisco to work on its own stadium plan, though that effort isn't anywhere close to being ready for prime time, either.
