Homework #3

I read an article from yesterday (February 20th, 2009) about the opportunity the bay area has to create a shared football arena for both the San Francisco 49ers and the Oakland Raiders. The article from SJMN (San Jose Mercury News) entitled "Shared turf for 49ers, Raiders?" and written by Mike Swift gave the Giants-Jets Stadium as an example of how the Bay's stadium could be. In detail, Swift described how having one stadium could be both a benefit and a pain by first analyzing NY's deal. The Jets and the Giants- two long last rivals have come together to build one $1.6 billion stadium to house both teams. Though this may sound like a bad idea, a stadium build for all extensive purposes to be neutral is very cost efficient. They are making sure that all components of the stadium will be neutral except for those electronic. Both teams will have their own locker rooms giving the traveling team's locker room to whichever team is visiting. Though disagreements came between both teams about several parts of the arena, final arrangements were made to fit both team’s needs. I think that a similar agreement could be come to for the Niner’s and Raiders even though they, in my opinion, have a much more aggressive rivalry. One of the concerns not brought up in the article, is whether fans will want to travel to the new stadium after having one be just next door for many years now. Plans have been on hold for a couple years now for the 49ers to build one in Santa Clara near where they practice. This would be a fairly nice compromise for both teams seeing as never would have to travel too far to play, though the 49ers may have to move their practice facilities.
