As the Santa Clara City Council approved a crucial environmental report Tuesday on a proposed stadium for the 49ers, the corporate owners of Great America theme park sued to void the terms of a deal between the city and the NFL team, saying the pact is illegal and threatens the rights of the park -- which would stand adjacent to the new stadium if it is approved. The lawsuit marked yet another escalation of tension between Cedar Fair Entertainment -- Great America's owners -- and the city over the stadium project, just as the council was considering a resolution to put the stadium proposal before voters on the June 8 ballot. In a lawsuit filed late Monday in Santa Clara County Superior Court, Cedar Fair argues that the June agreement between the city and the 49ers should not have been consummated before the completion and approval of an environmental impact report.
