<i> From Staff and Wire Reports</i>
Despite rising costs, the San Jose City Council has approved a contract that will keep the San Jose Sharks in town for 15 years.
City council members voted to approve the contract despite discovering that the team’s 18,000-seat downtown arena will cost almost $8 million more to build than was expected. The team, currently playing at the Cow Palace in San Francisco, is expected to move to the new arena in 1993.
