Santa Clara city councilperson suggests shutting down alcohol sales in second half

We are a week removed from an ugly fight after the San Francisco 49ers home opener, and already politicians have jumped in the fray. Two members of the Santa Clara City Council have asked that time be set aside at Tuesday's city council meeting to discuss options for addressing "health and safety issues at the stadium", according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Councilwomen Lisa Gillmor, Teresa O'Neill and Debi Davis have all raised concerns, and will look for some kind of changes. It sounds like they want to consider things like banning alcohol sales in the second half (sales currently run through the third quarter), and increasing the number of police at the stadium.
