Friendship doesn't really have to do anything with business. If these people think that a new stadium will make money, what we think / say will be besides the point.

you get more bees with honey than vinegar. And at this stage there's little evidence to suggest that a sss will make money for the county if they give the land. that's the hope and intent...

A cordial entrance is always appreciated. But, if we are coming to the table with a " do us a favor " approach without hard numbers or facts than it will be very hard. I'm sure all involved know that. You're right though, if people are sending irritating messages it may not be a great way to start.

The County bonding $105 million for the concert hall doesn't mean that they also won't bond an SSS later on, though I wonder how much bonds they have left to give out.

In any case, how can a 7,500 seat concert hall cost $105 million while a 20k-25k SSS only cost around $65-$75 million (with AEG providing $15 million of that, no less)?

Eric Wynalda and Rob Stone said Alexi was hard at work as they spoke to get a stadium built in the Bay Area. It looks as if Alexi was at the HDC yesterday with the Mayor of San Antoino according to the LA boards.

I cannot divulge my source, but according to that, Alexi was in LA yesterday. The reason wasn't mentioned, except he was out of town.

I'm convinced that Lalas is the enemy.

OldQuakesFan has donated more images of possible new Earthquakes Stadium locations around the SJSU South Campus, as well as at other possible locations in the South Bay (he modified the "after" pictures using Columbus Crew Stadium... the light-blue field does not denote artificial turf ).

Do those links give a pretty good idea of what's being discussed here?
