Cedar Fair would sell theme park to 49ers

10/11/2007

Cedar Fair L.P., which owns Great America theme park in Santa Clara, Calif., said yesterday it would be willing to sell the site to the San Francisco 49ers instead of waging a bitter fight over parking for the football team s proposed stadium.

Cedar Fair, based in Sandusky, said it has offered to sell the park to the 49ers after deciding that traffic congestion and parking headaches from the new arena would severely harm Great America s business and threaten its ability to stay open.
