SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES
Eliott Almond of the Mercury News talks to team owner Lew Wolff about the plans for a (small) permanent stadium by 2012 or 13.
-I must say that Wolff sounds really skittish about the whole prospect of a stadium, and running a team.
And with the Bay Area home to nearly 7.5 million people, why only a 15,000 seat stadium? If that is all they feel they draw when they go all out to market the team in a new stadium, then seriously why in the world did MLS go back there in the first place?

Almond with another article, this time on the team, comparing their playoff run to the amazing run by the baseball San Francisco Giants, who won the World Series only a few weeks ago.
