SAN JOSE — Sharks Sports & Entertainment president Jonathan Becher said Friday he’s been encouraged about what he has heard from city council members after he pleaded last week that proposed downtown developments around the Diridon train station would endanger the NHL’s team future at SAP Center.
The Sharks sent a letter to the team’s fans Nov. 12 saying new construction planned for the area would threaten access and the amount of parking available near the downtown arena, which would not be viable if those plans went into effect.
