Luckily we moved all those people and businesses away from the coasts years ago, so they weren't all underwater from that catastrophic climate change thing.


This may be the absolute dumbest post in the history of Ponyfans

From Wikipedia

Renovation: 2010–2012[edit]
Memorial Stadium supporting columns diverging due to fault creep
Need for renovation

The Hayward Fault passes directly under the playing field of Memorial Stadium (nearly from goal post to goal post),[6] where right-lateral strike-slip motion is shifting the east half of the building to the south at a rate of 1.2 mm/yr. Expansion joints have been placed in the walls of the stadium to maintain the integrity of the building. A 1998 seismic safety study on the California campus gave the stadium a "poor" rating (meaning that the building represents an "appreciable life hazard" in an earthquake).

I think footballdad is referring to the improbable event of the fault line splitting during the 3 hours on a given Saturday home game

Exactly. Improbable as it is for a quake to hit during a game, given the Bay Area's history, footballdad's post was beyond idiotic.

I doubt you can build anything in California when your building is deemed an "appreciable life hazard" in an earthquake.

It's all fun and games until a stadium with 40K+ people collapses on itself.

The risk analysis there would be ranked high based on the consequence.
