As the 49ers threaten to move out of San Francisco, the city has revealed to the public its plans for a new stadium. The team saw the plan two weeks ago and have withdrawn support, claiming that the plan does not provide the best "fan experience".
The city's plan for a new stadium, housing, and commercial development project at Candlestick Point is being shown to residents in hopes that public support will changes the minds of the operators of the 49ers football team. City officials expect the proposal to eventually face voters on a ballot.
"There would be 6,500 housing units, including 200 that would be designated for people who currently live in the city's Alice Griffith housing project. A waterfront park would be the 'Crissy Field of the South,' with lawns, fishing piers and walking trails. In addition to the stadium there would be an 8,000- to 10,000-seat arena for smaller events."
"A main street leading to the stadium would be lined with sports bars, restaurants and live music venues to create what the developers dubbed 'new urban tailgating opportunities.' The centerpiece would be the 69,000-seat stadium."
"'Spectacular,' is how 49ers' Chief Financial Officer Larry MacNeil described it. 'The challenge for us is it just does not work for an NFL stadium,' he said."
