As I mentioned earlier, I had my first taste of the Bay Area when I saw U2 at the Oakland Coliseum.

Let's just say that in 2014 or 2015, U2 puts on a big concert at the brand-new 49ers stadium in Santa Clara.

Should Bono address the crowd in attendance with "Thank you, San Jose!"?

Or should Bono address the crowd in attendance with "Thank you, Santa Clara!"?

Personally, I don't think "Thank you, Santa Clara" would work because (really) no one outside of the Bay Area has ever heard of Santa Clara, CA.
The correct form of address would be "Thank you, Silicon Valley!" because a) the concert is not in San Jose and b) the majority of attendees likely would be from the mid-Peninsula, not San Jose.

However, I personally am hoping for a major earthquake of limited spread which will sink aforementioned stadium before it is complete.
