Rumor: NFL wants Chargers to return to San Diego
There was an excellent view of the cheerleaders. The closest seats perhaps shouldn't be sold, I enjoyed myself anyway, you see many things they don't show on TV.— October 4, 2017 6:18 p.m.
Rumor: NFL wants Chargers to return to San Diego
I have attended in every section of the Stadium, Lucky for me I have the ability to turn my head if the seat isn't perfectly "pitched", so my nose doesn't block the action. There is wheelchair access. I feel so lucky to be part of a generation that never noticed "pitch" problems outside of the concert hall. Those didn't require a billion dollars to fix.— October 4, 2017 4:36 p.m.
Rumor: NFL wants Chargers to return to San Diego
We are allowed our favorites, weather conditions and location make our Stadium unexcelled. Fans from around the nation happily attend there.— October 3, 2017 5:06 p.m.
Rumor: NFL wants Chargers to return to San Diego
The Chargers left because they wanted to leave. There is no more attractive place in the world play or watch football than San Diego Stadium.— October 3, 2017 4:13 p.m.
Rip down Qualcomm and build new stadium?
I'm reading $500,000 for less than 2yrs. It's the sponsorship of the Holiday Bowl and promotion of concerts that makes me think they're interested in the building. I read, at KPBS, that they promote events at their ATMs. If that means they sell tickets there, there is an interesting synergy. Before they turn a shovel, developers usually name the site.— September 21, 2017 11:53 a.m.
Rip down Qualcomm and build new stadium?
The SDCCU naming is interesting, perhaps the building has found a champion. It's reported that they intend to sponsor events at the Stadium. They might be positioning themselves for some lending on the property. There might be a way to refinance the absurd bonds on the building at a profit. Hmm. Is that an alternative plan I smell cooking?— September 20, 2017 5:06 p.m.
Rip down Qualcomm and build new stadium?
The key to the suckering is the demolition of the Stadium, which is said to be too expensive to use. This claim is likely aided by accounting tricks, there is a six million dollar charge called "contracts" on the books. I can't easily find any explanation. If our Stadium is destroyed, and the Aztecs try to play in the absurd Petco Park, like a kid with a wrecked car, the City will be ripe for a swindle.— September 19, 2017 12:53 p.m.
Rip down Qualcomm and build new stadium?
The Stadium Land is developed now, as a Stadium and parking lot. The public likes this, so much so that the latest scheme pretends to be for the purpose of building a new stadium on the site, hence the name Soccer City. This may surprise many, but developers aren't officially part of the City Government and sometimes don't get their way automatically. Nearly twenty years of hard sell didn't sell the Chargers' scheme to bulldoze the Stadium and build condos. I suspect Sucker City will fail also.— September 17, 2017 10:50 p.m.
Rip down Qualcomm and build new stadium?
FMV is another word for we'll talk price after the sale. Let them put their chips on the table, the price including the flood abatement plan, then we can talk. Since they don't I am certain that it's a scam. Even if the price were reasonable, I oppose selling parkland for condos in the center of the City. As for flooding, it's not an act of God. Whenever you see an urban development underwater, be certain a developer pulled an evil scheme. Anyone who trusts obvious con artists like FSI to protect our safety is a fool or in on the scheme, and therefore qualified to run for City Council.— September 17, 2017 3:53 p.m.
Rip down Qualcomm and build new stadium?
IKEA and Lowe's haven't flooded YET, because we have been in a drought. And that's not the Stadium. The Stadium is built on a flood control berm, doubling as a parking lot. Yes, a billion dollar flood control channel can be built to protect unwise construction, as was proposed in the 1960's. Should the City do this to help give away parkland? If the Stadium is to be torn down, perhaps the land should be returned to a wetlands park, to help protect foolishness like the River? Run! condos downstream.— September 17, 2017 1:04 p.m.
