O Renascimento do San Jose Earthquakes

San Jose Earthquakes dominou a Major League Soccer no início dos anos 00 conquistando a MLS Cup de 2001 e 2003, mas na metade da década o time da Califórnia sofreu com fracassos por não ter conseguido um estádio especifico para o soccer o que infelizmente resultou na mudança da franquia para Houston. Anschutz Entertainment Group (donos do San Jose na época) fez o fatídico anúncio após a conclusão da temporada de 2005. O treinador Dominic Kinnear, alguns membros da comissão técnica e jogadores foram transferidos para a nova equipe texana enquanto os títulos e recordes foram mantidos com San Jose que foi colocado em hiato.

No dia 24 de maio de 2006, Lew Wolff, principal dono do Oakland Athletics (MLB) comprou uma opção exclusiva para adquirir uma franquia na Major League Soccer para trazer o San Jose Earthquakes de volta para Bay Area na principal liga do futebol dos Estados Unidos. Era um projeto muito ambicioso e um grande presente a todos os fans do soccer e do San Jose que novamente poderiam ver o seu time do coração.

Lew Wolff é uma das pessoas mais importantes nos esportes nos Estados Unidos, ele foi o principal protagonista no restabelecimento do San Jose na Major League gastando milhões em investimentos no time e em reformas no Buck Shaw Stadium, na Universidade de Santa Clara. Wolff também foi fundamental na parceria do San Jose Earthquakes com o Tottenham Hotspur Football Club (Premier League) que deu muito retorno no desenvolvimento comercial do clube.

A franquia da Califórnia entrou numa nova era em sua história com a construção do estádio próprio, o Avaya Stadium. Tudo graças a Lew Wolff que sempre esteve convicto com o futebol na Bay Area e com uma gestão muito responsável. O estádio teve um custo total de 100 milhões de dólares e foi financiado pelo setor privado, sem financiamento público o que prova o sucesso e a transparência da gestão do Wolff. Apesar do alto custo, o clube garantiu o terceiro maior parceiro na Major League Soccer com a Avaya. O estádio está entre os mais avançados tecnologicamente no mundo graças à parceria. O San Jose Earthquakes também tem um excelente centro de treinamento visando dar as melhores condições de trabalho para jogadores e membros da comissão técnica.
