The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors has raised concerns about the proposed financial terms with the San Jose Earthquakes that could allow the MLS franchise to build a 35,000-square foot state-of-the-art training facility and four public soccer fields on 26 undeveloped acres at the county fairgrounds.

Under the non-binding term sheet up for discussion Tuesday, the Earthquakes were considering an initial 25-year ground lease with options for 10-year extensions that will pay the county $240,000 in year one with rental payments increasing by 2.55% each succeeding year, equating to $8.25 million over the initial period.
