San Jose Earthquakes Owner: New Stadium No Later Than 2013

Earthquakes owner Lew Wolff told the San Jose Mercury News that he hopes to have the stadium open by 2012 and no later than 2013.

What makes this statement different than previous pronouncements is that Wolff has apparently given up on the requirement that sponsorships and other aspects of outside funding for the privately financed stadium need to be in place before construction begins.
