Eye Opening Sports news (49ers About to move out of SF)[MERGED][X2]

I'm a New Orleans boy now in San Fran area. The real issue is the voters haven't passed the initiatives to build a new stadium. They don't think it's as important a thing to put money on as is the other aspects of running a city and the 49ers are an icon but it's reasoned they don't bring as much money in overall as would be going out to finance the new stadium. What used to be called Candlestick Park where the Niners play is a classic old stadium but definitely a museum piece. The seats in some sections have big beams in themiddle of seating sections that you have to stand up and look around at time to see the field... I beleive those "beam" seats were added later and are often given away to charities, and to send underpriveledged kids to NFL games. I think New Orleans made a good choice to simply refurbish the dome. Maybe at some other point my assessment will change, but the city has alot of other infrastructure to fix now. Cities are starting to get priorities straight in my book.
