- They won't be spending millions. I think those proposed stands will be more of the Erector Set variety, similar to Columbus Crew Stadium. I'm also not certain that SCU needs huge stadium upgrades. Additionally, I'm sure the Earthquakes also want more control of their home facility. Sharing with a college campus worked negatively for the LA Galaxy earlier this year when scheduling conflicts forced them to limit capacity for the SuperLiga final because it was held on a certain night. That's bogus.

- The target site for the permanent stadium will be literally across the street (and tracks) but in San Jose city limits. Caltrain accessibility still applies and there's allegedly an entire complex drafted up (hotels, shops, etc.) for the currently vacant/wasted FMC lot next to the airport. Wolff is a developer, not just a regular guy with money.
