Question to the group: Wasn’t San Jose’s new stadium supposed to be a condition of the renewal of that franchise? What’s new on that front, and if, as I’ve been hearing, no progress is being made, how long can the Quakes be viable there? Why couldn’t they use Candlestick or the Coliseum, or Stanford Stadium? Can anyone think of possible relocation targets? Phoenix, Vegas, San Diego, Charlotte or Raleigh/Durham, Indianapolis, St. Louis? On my mind as SKC play SJ on Friday.
Actually, I think I remeber reading on the MLS site a while back that San Jose have purchase/are negotiating for an abandoned miltary(?) warehousing site and working on a stadium design for that location. I’ll check on it for sure when we get back from the orthodontist. If I survive my newly turned 16 daughter’s drive home!
Well played sir. I thought I had remembered that too, but a recent SI post alluded to prolonged future at Buck Shaw. I just checked the Quakes official site and found a letter from their President on 8 March discussing the progress. It looks preliminary to the preliminary stage, but there does appear to be progress. Full text at the link below.

Interesting aside: The architecture firm doing the design is across the street from my apartment in downtown Kansas City. They do great work and have done portions of other stadia, but I didn’t know they had done any stadia start to finish. That’s usually the realm of another KC firm, Populous (formerly HOK+).
How dare you suggest that San Jose move…. AGAIN.. -_-’
Also i think it’s Erdinç not Erding
