SF Candlestick Park politics (0983)

SF Candlestick Park politics (0983)
I'll admit that Candlestick Park is windy and cold, and largely just a gray mass. BUT, I don't understand why cities put up with ball teams saying "we're leaving if you don't build us something nicer". The 49ers are leaving, this will soon be a gray hulking mass with no purpose. (See comment added 2/5/2015 re demolition)

I've always been surprised at the amount BBC covers European sports. Now that I know that sports teams actually are committed to the cities, the European attitude towards team sports makes more sense.

So are the teams publicly owned? There's only one example of that in U.S., the Green Bay Packers football team. Major League Baseball actually prohibits public ownership.

Publicity owned was the wrong phrase for it because nobody own these clubs. ;-)

Mostly these clubs which are playing in Bundesliga (soccer) or other professional leagues in Germany are an "Eingetragener Verein" (Registered nonprofit association) --> de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eingetragener_Verein#Eingetragener_Verein (_many_ other languages, but funny none in english, bt maybe you found another language you are understand - or google - translate...) so formally they are officially "non-profit".
Of course the higher league- teams acting money - orientated, but casually there was something below the professional part in these clubs, too (such as youth leagues etc. which are integrated pretty well and acting under same logo, name, brands etc.).

Have posted the picture for the new stadium for the 49ers that is being built 38 miles south in Santa Clara.

Starting this week, Candlestick is being torn down, to be replaced by an "urban outlet mall" (an urban outlet mall in a city where housing is unaffordable????).
