49ers versus Great America. Choose now or forever hold your FUN.

49ers and Cedar Fair, the owners of Great America, are saying "this town ain't big enough for the both of us."

The 49ers want to build an $854 million stadium in Santa Clara's entertainment district by 2012. Great America's 56-acre parking lot has to become part of the stadium. It's like saying the city of San Francisco want's to build a park on your lot where your house is. Do you think that's fair? Great America is among the leaders of entertainment in Northern California, one of the few spots where everyone comes to visit to have fun, and Santa Clara wants to build a football stadium. I mean we all love the 49ers and entertainment, but we all want to have fun, too.

I found this interesting because I believe that there won't be any other places like Great America. So we would have to drive all the way down south to fine great gigantic rides to fullfill our fun measures? Marin World can't even top Great America's great rollercoasters so that's a different story. I think it's unfair to everyone because 49ers is all about entertaining most elderly people. How about the bored kids? We want to have a place where we can basically enjoy ourselves not be at a stadium just watching football.
