Demolition work underway on San Jose soccer stadium.
For the San Jose Earthquakes, last Thursday was Demolition Day, as the Northern California club began what could be a long process toward the completion of a new stadium.
The Quakes’ new stadium, which is expected to hold 15,000 fans, expandable to 18,000, could cost between $40 million and $60 million in an area called Airport West. Though demolition at the site has begun, the club acknowledged that it has no completion date as it waits for a signature sponsor to help finance the project.
The stadium is the latest project in Major League Soccer, which over the past few years has made the construction of soccer stadiums a priority.
