One recent law, the “sit-lie” ordinance, made it illegal to sit or lie down on city sidewalks. Some homeless people say this law takes away their right to dwell freely — essentially the right to be alive. How does one build a place of one’s own in a city where other opportunities are not available? We all have the need to create a sense of home, even in extreme circumstances. In these photos, the lines between public and private, urban and domestic, blur. They reveal the architecture of homelessness, and contribute to the understanding of a displaced people who make their own spaces.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

(Photo by Scott Shafer/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Pablo Sandoval became just the fourth player to hit three home runs in a World Series game, connecting twice against Justin Verlander and once off Al Alburquerque to lead the San Francisco Giants over the Detroit Tigers 8-3 in Wednesday night's opener.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandoval hit a solo home run to right-center in the first, a two-run, opposite-field drive to left in the third and another bases-empty shot into the center-field batter's eye in the fifth. He joined Babe Ruth (1926 and 1928), Reggie Jackson (1977) and Albert Pujols (2011) as the only players with three-homer games in the Series.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barry Zito, who like Sandoval watched the 2010 Series opener from the dugout, won by allowing one run and six hits in 5 2-3 innings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandoval went 4 for 4 with four RBIs, also singling in the seventh against Jose Valverde. He became the first Giants player with a three-homer game at home since Barry Bonds in August 1994 at Candlestick Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Verlander was chased after allowing five runs and six hits in four innings, his shortest start this year. He threw 98 pitches, and Detroit manager Jim Leyland could alter his rotation and start him in Game 4 on short rest instead of Max Scherzer. That would enable Verlander to pitch a possible Game 7, again on three days' rest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Verlander was 0-2 as a rookie in the 2006 Series against St. Louis but had been superb this October, entering with a 3-0 record and a 0.74 ERA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madison Bumgarner, 0-2 with an 11.25 ERA for the Giants in two postseason outings, starts Game 2 on Thursday against Detroit's Doug Fister, who has a 1.35 ERA with no decisions in two postseason appearances this year.

Romo’s baseball career started in Brawley, California, on a pitcher’s mound in the backyard of his companies. It’s about 50 feet from the back window, with predictable results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_78914\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/10/RomoShrine.jpg\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-78914\" title=\"RomoShrine\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/10/RomoShrine-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Frank and Leticia Romo\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Sergio was playing, and I guess they were trying to get each other out. And Sergio threw the ball — and he broke that window!” says Leticia Romo, Sergio’s mom. “I don’t want to fix it because, but I told him, whenever you make it up there you’re going to have to fix it yourself. So I’m waiting for him to come and fix it still.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frank Romo weighs in: “It didn’t surprise me. He also broke the neighbors’ light fixture. I asked him, ‘Why are you doing that mi hijo?’ He said, ‘I just wanted to see if I could hit it.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/10/26/how-cute-is-sergio-romo/\">Sergio Romo Emerging as a Star\u003c/a>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Brawley, California is a long way from the lights of AT&T Park. About 25,000 people live in this farm town, out in the desert scrubland. Main Street is a dusty arcade of shuttered stores. Unemployment is over 30 percent, among the highest in the state. There’s no big college, no stadium. The only big city nearby is Mexicali, Mexico, 22 miles to the south. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Brawley would be probably like a slightly bigger version of Mayberry, although not quite as nice,” says \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/seaneru01.shtml\">Rudy Seanez\u003c/a>, who pitched in the major leagues for 17 years, ending in 2008. Like Romo, he grew up in Brawley. So did \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/f/fowlkal01.shtml\">Alan Fowlkes\u003c/a>, who pitched for the 1982 Giants. And so did \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/mongesi01.shtml\">Sid Monge\u003c/a>, who pitched in the 1970s and 80s. It turns out Brawley’s sugar beets and melons have some competition for the town’s top-produced crop. The town, and the Imperial Valley around it, have sent more than 20 players to the major and minor leagues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And I wish I could tell you it’s because we have this special water, it’s not,” says Pedro Carranza, who played pro ball for the Colorado Rockies. Now he coaches Brawley’s high school team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mid-October, the desert climate isn’t ideal for baseball practice, the temperature often hitting the mid-90s. But in the winter, when most of the U.S. is packing away its bats and gloves, baseball in Mexico is still going strong. And that may be the secret to Brawley’s success: Mexicali’s winter leagues, a half-hour down the road, are open to amateurs and pros alike. That means Brawley high schoolers can train across the border alongside professionals looking for a game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For instance, I was 16 and playing against men 30 years old, 35 years old,” says Pedro Carranza. “You’re playing against some good ballplayers. \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=lechug001enr\">Enrique Lechuga\u003c/a>, who played with the White Sox, who is in the Mexican League right now. \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=arball001jul\">Julian Arballo\u003c/a> also played with the Yankees, same thing, they’re playing in Mexicali this week, and any one of my high school kids if he plays down there, he’s facing one of those guys.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, Mexican Americans have played baseball across the border here for generations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sergio’s granddad played in Mexicali,” says Carranza. “Sergio’s dad played in Mexicali; Sergio played in Mexicali.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Says Seanez: “You’ve got some of the teammates saying I played with your grandfather. I played with your uncle, or this or that or the other. This is like wow, its roots, spreading out all over the place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those roots mean everything to Frank Romo, who came to Brawley from Mexico as a child. He cut his own baseball career short to work the fields; his father before him did the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Diablos Rojos, the professional team from Mexico City, they wanted to sign my dad,” ways Romo. “But he couldn’t go either, because he had a lot of work on the farm. Ive been living dreams through my kids. And Sergio, he’s a major league baseball player, this is his fifth season, can you believe that? It’s awesome.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Johnny’s Burritos, downtown, the next generation of players from Brawley Union High line up for a carbo-loaded lunch of fries with cheese. Todd Marquez sits at a picnic table with some teammates. He says Brawley’s secret baseball recipe is no secret at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People from Brawley just love to play baseball and they just don’t give up. Just keep on trying hard till they get there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brawley players have made it to three World Series so far — this year is the fourth. They’ve won every time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listen to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiareport.org/archive/R201210240850/b\">audio version\u003c/a> of this report:\u003c/p>\n\n",

And Sergio threw the ball — and he broke that window!” says Leticia Romo, Sergio’s mom. “I don’t want to fix it because, but I told him, whenever you make it up there you’re going to have to fix it yourself. So I’m waiting for him to come and fix it still.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frank Romo weighs in: “It didn’t surprise me. He also broke the neighbors’ light fixture.

About 25,000 people live in this farm town, out in the desert scrubland. Main Street is a dusty arcade of shuttered stores. Unemployment is over 30 percent, among the highest in the state. There’s no big college, no stadium. The only big city nearby is Mexicali, Mexico, 22 miles to the south. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Like Romo, he grew up in Brawley. So did \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/f/fowlkal01.shtml\">Alan Fowlkes\u003c/a>, who pitched for the 1982 Giants. And so did \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/mongesi01.shtml\">Sid Monge\u003c/a>, who pitched in the 1970s and 80s. It turns out Brawley’s sugar beets and melons have some competition for the town’s top-produced crop. The town, and the Imperial Valley around it, have sent more than 20 players to the major and minor leagues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And I wish I could tell you it’s because we have this special water, it’s not,” says Pedro Carranza, who played pro ball for the Colorado Rockies. Now he coaches Brawley’s high school team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mid-October, the desert climate isn’t ideal for baseball practice, the temperature often hitting the mid-90s. But in the winter, when most of the U.S. is packing away its bats and gloves, baseball in Mexico is still going strong. And that may be the secret to Brawley’s success: Mexicali’s winter leagues, a half-hour down the road, are open to amateurs and pros alike. That means Brawley high schoolers can train across the border alongside professionals looking for a game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For instance, I was 16 and playing against men 30 years old, 35 years old,” says Pedro Carranza. “You’re playing against some good ballplayers. \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=lechug001enr\">Enrique Lechuga\u003c/a>, who played with the White Sox, who is in the Mexican League right now. \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=arball001jul\">Julian Arballo\u003c/a> also played with the Yankees, same thing, they’re playing in Mexicali this week, and any one of my high school kids if he plays down there, he’s facing one of those guys.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, Mexican Americans have played baseball across the border here for generations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sergio’s granddad played in Mexicali,” says Carranza. “Sergio’s dad played in Mexicali; Sergio played in Mexicali.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Says Seanez: “You’ve got some of the teammates saying I played with your grandfather. I played with your uncle, or this or that or the other. This is like wow, its roots, spreading out all over the place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those roots mean everything to Frank Romo, who came to Brawley from Mexico as a child. He cut his own baseball career short to work the fields; his father before him did the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Diablos Rojos, the professional team from Mexico City, they wanted to sign my dad,” ways Romo. “But he couldn’t go either, because he had a lot of work on the farm. Ive been living dreams through my kids. And Sergio, he’s a major league baseball player, this is his fifth season, can you believe that? It’s awesome.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Johnny’s Burritos, downtown, the next generation of players from Brawley Union High line up for a carbo-loaded lunch of fries with cheese. Todd Marquez sits at a picnic table with some teammates. He says Brawley’s secret baseball recipe is no secret at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People from Brawley just love to play baseball and they just don’t give up. Just keep on trying hard till they get there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brawley players have made it to three World Series so far — this year is the fourth. They’ve won every time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listen to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiareport.org/archive/R201210240850/b\">audio version\u003c/a> of this report:\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It was the sixth time the team faced elimination and won in this postseason. The Giants also won 30 of its last 44 games to take the NL West title. Detroit, meanwhile, has already beaten one Bay Area team in the postseason - it dispatched the Oakland A’s in the division series. The Tigers then swept the New York Yankees to win the AL pennant. Detroit finished the regular season as the AL Central champions with an 88-74 record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WHAT TO WATCH FOR\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tigers’ starting pitcher Justin Verlander perfectly captures the national media's narrative of an Elite Pitcher leading his team to World Series glory. He throws 98 mph fastballs and his wicked curveballs vex hitters. Another Tigers threat is their fantastic hitter, Miguel Cabrera. And those two might be why Detroit is favored to win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Tigers have their weaknesses too. As Marty Lurie, Giants pre-game and post-game host for KNBR 680, \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201210231000\">said on Forum\u003c/a>, Verlander is talented, but he can't pitch every game, and the Tigers' bullpen can be shaky. The Giants will try to grind out wins in their typical fashion – starting pitching that rises to the occasion, great relief work, solid defense, and an underestimated offense that seems to score runs in bunches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>HOW TO SCORE TICKETS\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re looking to buy World Series tickets from the Giants now, you’re already about two weeks too late. The deadline to enter the team’s random drawing for the opportunity to buy tickets was Oct. 10. However, for those willing to pay a price, standing-room-only tickets currently run on Craigslist for about $350 each; the most expensive ticket on StubHub is $638, though most are around $400.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WHERE TO WATCH\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you can't make it to the actual games, the next best thing is watching with your fellow fans. We put a call out to \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/KQED/posts/10151054426361191\">KQED’s Facebook fans\u003c/a> and Twitter followers and asked them where to go to watch the series. Here are their suggestions, as well as some of the better-reviewed bars for watching baseball from \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com\">Yelp\u003c/a> and other sources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/yancys-saloon-san-francisco\">Yancy's Saloon\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>: 734 Irving St., San Francisco. Several of KQED's Facebook fans recommend Yancy's, which also is described as a prototypical sports bar on Yelp. \"This is a place to hang out with your friends and everyone is casually dressed. No attitudes or snottiness to be found here,\" one reviewer wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://doubleplaysf.com/\">The Double Play\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>: 2401 16th St., San Francisco. Suggested by Facebook fan Chad Wagner, The Double Play is an old-school sports bar which has five televisions and 12 beers on tap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.acesbarsf.com/\">Ace’s\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>: 998 Sutter St., San Francisco. This suggestion came from Facebook fan Kimberly Crawford. Ace’s has oversized leather couches and five flat screen televisions and it defines itself as a neighborhood bar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.540-club.com/\">The 540 Club\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>: 540 Clement St., San Francisco: Facebook fan Ryan Schubert made this suggestion, saying it “was packed (for Game 7) and was absolutely awesome back in 2010.” It’s worthwhile to note that the club prides itself on having some of the city’s crankiest bartenders, so tread lightly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://hi5catering.com/\">High Five Pizza\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>: 171 Branham Lane, San Jose: High Five calls itself “the friendliest restaurant in the San Jose area.” The bar and restaurant has more than 14 televisions and is family-friendly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://oldpropa.com/\">The Old Pro\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>: 541 Ramona Street, Palo Alto. Twitter user @sweetd_cali suggested the Old Pro, which has been around for nearly 50 years. The Old Pro has been called one of Palo Alto’s best sports bars; a Yelp review notes it has “Plenty of large screen TV's, seating at the bar and communal dining tables And yep, they have a mechanical bull.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mcgeesbarandgrill.com/\">McGee’s Bar & Grill\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>: 1645 Park St., Alameda: Based on the Yelp reviews, McGee’s might be worth the trip over the bridge or through the tunnel if you’re seeking a no-frills viewing experience. “It's dark, dingy and smells like beer. It's really all you can ask for in a bar,” states one review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mccoveys.com/\">McCovey’s Restaurant\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>: 1444 North California Boulevard, Walnut Creek. Named one of \u003ca href=\"http://espn.go.com/espn/thelife/news/story?id=2974648\">ESPN’s top 10 baseball bars\u003c/a>, the memorabilia-filled McCovey’s is designed to look like AT&T Park. More importantly, it has 40 televisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.georgeandwalts.com/\">George & Walt’s\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>: 5445 College Ave., Oakland. George & Walts has been around for more than 80 years, and it prides itself on being a neighborhood sports bar. One of the most popular words used to describe the establishment on Yelp.com is “friendly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED staff contributed to this post.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

It was the sixth time the team faced elimination and won in this postseason. The Giants also won 30 of its last 44 games to take the NL West title. Detroit, meanwhile, has already beaten one Bay Area team in the postseason - it dispatched the Oakland A’s in the division series. The Tigers then swept the New York Yankees to win the AL pennant. Detroit finished the regular season as the AL Central champions with an 88-74 record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WHAT TO WATCH FOR\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tigers’ starting pitcher Justin Verlander perfectly captures the national media's narrative of an Elite Pitcher leading his team to World Series glory. He throws 98 mph fastballs and his wicked curveballs vex hitters. Another Tigers threat is their fantastic hitter, Miguel Cabrera. And those two might be why Detroit is favored to win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Tigers have their weaknesses too. As Marty Lurie, Giants pre-game and post-game host for KNBR 680, \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201210231000\">said on Forum\u003c/a>, Verlander is talented, but he can't pitch every game, and the Tigers' bullpen can be shaky. The Giants will try to grind out wins in their typical fashion – starting pitching that rises to the occasion, great relief work, solid defense, and an underestimated offense that seems to score runs in bunches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>HOW TO SCORE TICKETS\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re looking to buy World Series tickets from the Giants now, you’re already about two weeks too late. The deadline to enter the team’s random drawing for the opportunity to buy tickets was Oct. 10. However, for those willing to pay a price, standing-room-only tickets currently run on Craigslist for about $350 each; the most expensive ticket on StubHub is $638, though most are around $400.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WHERE TO WATCH\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you can't make it to the actual games, the next best thing is watching with your fellow fans. We put a call out to \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/KQED/posts/10151054426361191\">KQED’s Facebook fans\u003c/a> and Twitter followers and asked them where to go to watch the series. Here are their suggestions, as well as some of the better-reviewed bars for watching baseball from \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com\">Yelp\u003c/a> and other sources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/yancys-saloon-san-francisco\">Yancy's Saloon\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>: 734 Irving St., San Francisco. Several of KQED's Facebook fans recommend Yancy's, which also is described as a prototypical sports bar on Yelp. \"This is a place to hang out with your friends and everyone is casually dressed. No attitudes or snottiness to be found here,\" one reviewer wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://doubleplaysf.com/\">The Double Play\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>: 2401 16th St., San Francisco. Suggested by Facebook fan Chad Wagner, The Double Play is an old-school sports bar which has five televisions and 12 beers on tap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.acesbarsf.com/\">Ace’s\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>: 998 Sutter St., San Francisco. This suggestion came from Facebook fan Kimberly Crawford. Ace’s has oversized leather couches and five flat screen televisions and it defines itself as a neighborhood bar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.540-club.com/\">The 540 Club\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>: 540 Clement St., San Francisco: Facebook fan Ryan Schubert made this suggestion, saying it “was packed (for Game 7) and was absolutely awesome back in 2010.” It’s worthwhile to note that the club prides itself on having some of the city’s crankiest bartenders, so tread lightly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://hi5catering.com/\">High Five Pizza\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>: 171 Branham Lane, San Jose: High Five calls itself “the friendliest restaurant in the San Jose area.” The bar and restaurant has more than 14 televisions and is family-friendly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://oldpropa.com/\">The Old Pro\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>: 541 Ramona Street, Palo Alto. Twitter user @sweetd_cali suggested the Old Pro, which has been around for nearly 50 years. The Old Pro has been called one of Palo Alto’s best sports bars; a Yelp review notes it has “Plenty of large screen TV's, seating at the bar and communal dining tables And yep, they have a mechanical bull.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mcgeesbarandgrill.com/\">McGee’s Bar & Grill\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>: 1645 Park St., Alameda: Based on the Yelp reviews, McGee’s might be worth the trip over the bridge or through the tunnel if you’re seeking a no-frills viewing experience. “It's dark, dingy and smells like beer. It's really all you can ask for in a bar,” states one review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mccoveys.com/\">McCovey’s Restaurant\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>: 1444 North California Boulevard, Walnut Creek. Named one of \u003ca href=\"http://espn.go.com/espn/thelife/news/story?id=2974648\">ESPN’s top 10 baseball bars\u003c/a>, the memorabilia-filled McCovey’s is designed to look like AT&T Park. More importantly, it has 40 televisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.georgeandwalts.com/\">George & Walt’s\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>: 5445 College Ave., Oakland. George & Walts has been around for more than 80 years, and it prides itself on being a neighborhood sports bar. One of the most popular words used to describe the establishment on Yelp.com is “friendly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And it has consistently sold out its current venue, Buck Shaw Stadium at Santa Clara University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new Earthquakes stadium will be its first soccer-specific venue, but hardly the first for the league — all but two other teams (D.C. and New England) already have such ballparks, says Stanzl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a much shorter deadline, the team is hunting for stadium space because it’s looking quite possible that it will host the Major League Soccer Cup match Dec. 1. Stanford Stadium and San Jose State University’s Spartan Stadium (with a capacity of 30,000) are both possibilities, along with AT&T Ballpark.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there are plenty of reasons to keep watching before then, according to Robert Jonas managing editor of Center Line Soccer. “They are a team that’s built for offense,” he told KQED’s Cy Musiker. “A high-flying team that gets out there and scores.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The team has already sold out its first playoff game, which is scheduled as an away game on Nov. 3 or 4 depending on how potential opponents fare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, the Quakes have one last regular season game to play this Saturday Oct. 27 3:30 p.m. PDT. The game will be in Portland, but televised by NBC Sports. Although it won’t affect the Quakes’ trajectory into the playoffs, Stanzl makes the case that you should watch to see if Wondolowski, a native of Livermore, can tie the league’s record for goals in a season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are Wondlolowsi’s exploits from September:\u003cbr>\n\u003cobject id=\"cfb11dcoi\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" classid=\"d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\">\u003cparam name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\">\u003cparam name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\">\u003cparam name=\"src\" value=\"http://p.mlssoccer.com/egj2J/video/1194226/1194226_2012-10-04-145226.640hq.mp4\">\u003cparam name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\">\u003cparam name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\">\u003cembed width=\"620\" height=\"349\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http://p.mlssoccer.com/egj2J/video/1194226/1194226_2012-10-04-145226.640hq.mp4\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\">\u003c/embed>\u003c/object>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Jonas argues that grabbing a ticket for future playoff games will be worthwhile for more reasons than one. “There are supporters that are going to be singing and chanting all the time. They provide a fabulous atmosphere to compliment what you’re going to see on the field. They often bring flags and banners and what they call \u003ca href=\"http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390443696604577646143196168230.html\">tifo\u003c/a> which are very large displays celebrating the team and the city and the accomplishments — something you don’t often see at other sporting events, but what makes soccer such a unique experience.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

And it has consistently sold out its current venue, Buck Shaw Stadium at Santa Clara University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new Earthquakes stadium will be its first soccer-specific venue, but hardly the first for the league — all but two other teams (D.C. and New England) already have such ballparks, says Stanzl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a much shorter deadline, the team is hunting for stadium space because it’s looking quite possible that it will host the Major League Soccer Cup match Dec. 1. Stanford Stadium and San Jose State University’s Spartan Stadium (with a capacity of 30,000) are both possibilities, along with AT&T Ballpark.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there are plenty of reasons to keep watching before then, according to Robert Jonas managing editor of Center Line Soccer. “They are a team that’s built for offense,” he told KQED’s Cy Musiker. “A high-flying team that gets out there and scores.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The team has already sold out its first playoff game, which is scheduled as an away game on Nov. 3 or 4 depending on how potential opponents fare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, the Quakes have one last regular season game to play this Saturday Oct. 27 3:30 p.m. PDT. The game will be in Portland, but televised by NBC Sports. Although it won’t affect the Quakes’ trajectory into the playoffs, Stanzl makes the case that you should watch to see if Wondolowski, a native of Livermore, can tie the league’s record for goals in a season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are Wondlolowsi’s exploits from September:\u003cbr>\n\u003cobject id=\"cfb11dcoi\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" classid=\"d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\">\u003cparam name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\">\u003cparam name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\">\u003cparam name=\"src\" value=\"http://p.mlssoccer.com/egj2J/video/1194226/1194226_2012-10-04-145226.640hq.mp4\">\u003cparam name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\">\u003cparam name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\">\u003cembed width=\"620\" height=\"349\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http://p.mlssoccer.com/egj2J/video/1194226/1194226_2012-10-04-145226.640hq.mp4\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\">\u003c/embed>\u003c/object>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Jonas argues that grabbing a ticket for future playoff games will be worthwhile for more reasons than one. “There are supporters that are going to be singing and chanting all the time. They provide a fabulous atmosphere to compliment what you’re going to see on the field. They often bring flags and banners and what they call \u003ca href=\"http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390443696604577646143196168230.html\">tifo\u003c/a> which are very large displays celebrating the team and the city and the accomplishments — something you don’t often see at other sporting events, but what makes soccer such a unique experience.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
