co-owner John York said Thursday that infrastructure problems
associated with Candlestick Point in San Francisco proved insurmountable
and prompted the team to look south at Santa Clara as the site
for a new stadium.
The 49ers announced late Wednesday that they are
shifting the focus of their site search to Santa Clara, where
the team headquarters is located. The team has had discussions

operates the Great America amusement park about building a new
stadium on the site of the current amusement park parking lot.

Gavin Newsom expressed his shock Thursday over news that chances
of keeping the 49ers in the city are slimmer than completing

John York to move the stadium to the city of Santa Clara, significantly
hurting the city's 2016 Olympics bid, would meet resistance.
