The 49ers moved another step closer to a new stadium.
The stadium authority of Santa Clara City Council members voted 5-1 to support the $878 million contract that calls for building a 68,500-seat facility.
Construction on the stadium is scheduled to begin June 1 and finished by the 2014 season. As part of the vote, the construction firm Turner-Devcon was approved to build the stadium.
A group against the stadium's construction, Santa Clara Plays Fair, has collected signatures to call for a referendum on the $850 million loan.
The San Francisco Chronicle first reported the vote.
