Stadium Figures, a website published by another concerned resident, examines something that hasn't got a lot of coverage:
the proposed stadium is directly on the flight path of airplanes in and out of San Jose Airport.
This raises a few issues:
- Noise. The predominant wind direction around here is out of the North. Airplanes take off into the wind. They will be at full power when they fly over the stadium. This stadium doesn't have a dome.
- Accidents. The stadium is within the "General Aviation Aircraft Accident Location Pattern"
And unlike all the big bad wolves who are huffing and puffing for NFL football, Stadium Figures are not blowing hot air. They've got references to back up all their facts and figures.
