SAN JOSE -- San Jose Earthquakes owner Lew Wolff has agreed to a $132 million deal with city officials to build a new soccer stadium near the airport that could open as early as 2010.
The deal calling for the 18,000-seat stadium and an accompanying retail, office and hotel project was reached Monday. It still must be approved by the city council next month.
The Earthquakes left San Jose in 2005, only to return as an expansion team this season. They began playing earlier this month and are using Santa Clara University as their home stadium until a permanent one can be found.
