49ers, Santa Clara May Miss November Ballot In Stadium Planning

49ers, City Of Santa Clara May Not Complete Stadium Plan In Time For November Ballot

PROP BET: In S.F., Robert Selna reports a "lurking question" over Proposition G, which was approved by voters on Tuesday, is whether the proposed 49ers stadium site "can be cleaned of industrial toxics and developed in time to meet the 49ers' stated deadline for a new stadium by fall 2012." Fleishman-Hillard Senior VP Pete Hillan, a 49ers spokesperson, said that the team would "need to see some key details of [developer Lennar Corp.'s] final plan -- such as transportation access for fans and a stadium-financing plan -- before they can say how well it might meet their needs" (S.F. CHRONICLE, 6/5).

DINING ALONE: In San Jose, Daniel Brown reports the 49ers have "declined to participate" in the S.F. Chamber of Commerce's annual kickoff luncheon after last year's event "left some with a bitter aftertaste." S.F. Mayor Gavin Newsom and U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) last year spent "part of the luncheon very adamantly ... rallying against the team's proposed move south, with [49ers co-Owner] John York sitting in the audience" (SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS, 6/5).
