In another blow to the Bay Area sporting scene, Golden Gate Fields will permanently close at the end of the season in December.

The closure of the Albany-based horse track, which opened in 1941, will leave Northern California without a major track. Bay Meadows, the San Mateo-based track that opened in 1934, closed in 2008.
