In 1941, the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds became the place for entertainment, community fun and private events. In the 1970s, it was a hotspot for large outdoor concerts, auto racing and more. But for several decades, competition with other venues and deteriorating infrastructure have contributed to the decline of the Fairgrounds. The county's new report explores what might be economically feasible for the future of the Fairgrounds.
