...in Santa Clara.
The team will play at Santa Clara University's Buck Shaw Stadium during the 08 and 09 seasons. Buck Shaw currently houses 6,000 seats, but will be renovated to include 5,000 temporary seats and a digital video board a la the Phone Booth, among other upgrades.
The Quakes will hold games against larger opponents at larger stadiums. McAfee Coliseum, owned under Quakes' co-owner Lew Wolff, is a possibility with its 50,000 capacity. Another possibility is the newly renovated Stanford Stadium.
After finally finding a home stadium, the Quakes' next two items on the agenda is finding a coach and stocking players. Names for head coach include former Quakes coaches Frank Yallop (Galaxy), Dom Kinnear (Dynamos), Paul Bravo (former Quake now at Galaxy as assistant coach), and Troy Dayak (former Quake defender). The team will hold its expansion draft in November.
