SOCCER LEGACY PROJECT

SSVCF, as the keeper of Earthquakes historic legacy, is working to have museum-quality displays of Earthquakes (and CyberRays) memorabilia – including the championship trophies – in selected areas throughout the stadium. These exhibits could also be displayed at the San Jose Convention Center, Mineta San Jose International Airport, San Jose City Hall, at History Park in San Jose, and in traveling displays across the Bay Area.

SSVCF has partnered with the staff of History San Jose, the curators of the city's municipal museum, to professionally display, maintain, and archive a collection related to Earthquakes soccer, which will preserve and respect the legacy forever. SSVCF, with the help of Earthquakes fans, will underwrite the effort and create a major exhibit on soccer in the Bay Area to coincide with the opening of the new soccer stadium. The Earthquakes are enthusiastic about the prospects of such an effort.

Imagine an Earthquakes fan being able to show their family and friends an in-stadium display showing an old Quakes jersey, scarf, or other piece of memorabilia ‘donated by’ or ‘on loan from the private collection of’ that very fan. With your help, it could happen!
