49ers Stadium Developments Repost

As the San Francisco 49ers break ground on their proposed new stadium in Santa Clara,Ca., we look back to an incident that may have been the turning point in negotiations.  And to think the Raider Nation is rumored to be tainted with a criminal element.

After blowing out the defending AFC Champion Indianapolis Colts 37-17 in today's exhibition game, the San Francisco 49ers were feeling their oats and wanted to send a strong message to all opposition.

They began immediately after the game by sending their red and gold clad negotiator, along with some tough looking advisers, down to a Santa Clara establishment who's reported to be holding up new stadium contracts with the city and county of Santa Clara.

A Raider Nation News correspondent happened to be dining at the establishment when the 49ers representative, sporting a gold-digger vest and red elmer fudd-like fedora, burst in and threatened the owner. Our courageous correspondent's pride and poise outweighed his fears of the 49ers hit squad as he was able to discreetly videotape the absurd demand accompanied by threats of a destructive return by nightfall.
Here we have a clip of the incident as taped earlier, with follow-up coverage later as this story develops:
