Golden Nuggets: Please no shared stadium... please?

So there's not a whole lot to work with today, a couple interesting articles but there's a lot that wasn't worth reading either. Lots of denials about Mike Vick being a target (by fans and writers, not the team) and this God-awful news about the 49ers and Raiders sharing a stadium wont go away. I think the Niners deserve their own stadium and I seriously hope they do whatever it takes to make sure they get one. For themselves. Here's some links.

So the NFL has "encouraged" the 49ers organization to work with the Raiders in building a stadium together. Ugh.. (ProFootballTalk.com)

Barrows hosts another Q&A. (Thomas Clayton gets some love yesssss!) (SacBee.com)

Maiocco has one as well. (PressDemocrat.com)

Should we look into signing Houshmandzadeh from free agency? (MVN.com)

So what does the signing of CB Williams give us? (Examiner.com)

I hate the raiders as much as the next guy, but lets throw this idea out there…

The Giants and Jets share a stadium (even though its more like the Giants letting the Jets play in their stadium). The teams are in two different conferences, rarely play each other, but still HAAAAAAATE each other, similar to our situation. The shared stadium only helped build the rivalry between the two.

Also, the Giants and Jets have a looong history in the NFL, and sharing a stadium has not harmed their reputation. So many memories have been formed at the Meadowlands, especially since double the amount of games have been played there. Would It be so bad to share a stadium with an in-town rival, perhaps building that rivalry and save a little bit of money, in addition to building a site that could be a football mecca in the future?

Just trying to spark a little debate.

Blind devotion.

stadium

I scheduled a post for 8am (15 minutes from now) with my own thoughts (so I’ll hold off here). I hit some of your points, although mine deals more with the financial end.
