Last August Soccer Silicon Valley held a Rally to show support for keeping the Earthquakes in the bay area. To kick off the 2005 season we held another rally, this time sponsored by the City of San Jose and the San Jose Sports Authority. Well, the Earthquakes are still here, still for sale, and still looking for a new stadium. We got a “stay of execution” last fall but unless the situation improves by late summer, we may lose our team. See the Soccer Silicon Valley Web site for the latest news.

I Was on TV! Quakes Stadium Rally
Last week I attended a meeting of the Santa Clara City Council which was scheduled to discuss the possibility of building a new stadium for the Earthquakes – and I was on the TV news that night!
Soccer Silicon Valley Rally 2004-08-20
Here are the pictures I took at the Soccer Silicon Valley rally today in San Jose. If you know someone who loves soccer with 20-30 million dollars burning a hole in their pocket, tell them to look into buying the Earthquakes. We only have until September 17 to find a new investor or they’re moving the team out of state!! Read more about it on the SSV Web site.
