Meet the Filthy Rich Spanos Clan

If both Props C & D pass, which one has priority? I ask this because Prop C aims to raise the hotel tax to a total of 16.5%, while Prop D shoots for 15.5% There also seem to be mechanisms built into Prop D that allow hotels to get out of paying some of this increase by diverting money to other places. Plus, nothing in Prop D seems set-up to specifically fund a downtown stadium with the extra TOT money. If I read it correctly, some of that money could eventually go towards funding a stadium, but the public would have to vote on that expenditure at a later date. Since the Chargers stadium funding is absolutely reliant on all that extra TOT money going to them, what happens if they both pass? Does the convadeum plan collapse due to lack of funding, or will the city be required to make up that difference...especially if using the hotel tax money to fund the stadium is shot down by a new public vote on a later date.

Mountain bikers allowed on Miramar? Affirmative

Great news! Glad they worked this out. Kudos to the bikers, hikers, Marines, and especially Diane Jacob who has been working for an eternity to get this section of the trail reopened. This is a big win for East County.

I've made thousands off those idiots

I like the sounds of this more than SonicBids, which seems to be modeled after the apartment complex that advertises an empty unit just to collect the $25 application fees. As far as festivals go, it is (apparently) often used like a ponzi scheme where the collected application fees are used to pay the bigger bands. As long as artists don't have to pay to apply to play bars and festivals with Gigtown, it seems like a decent set-up for them. It's interesting that the draw for venues is that it can take care of your booking. Most successful local venues really tailor their bands to the vibe of the establishment, this seems like a trickier proposition for a website that is outside the daily loop. It could result in venues getting line-ups that are a bit too eclectic depending on what Gigtown finds available. It might be like Dream Street where you could get a metal band, a rapper, and a solo folk singer playing on the same night. It should be noted here that Dream Street employed a "pay to play" model and is also no longer in business. It could work for a club that doesn't want to deal with booking on their own, but bars in this town seem to live and die by the booking gods, so proceed with caution. Making money off of your fans check-ins seems like nice, easy cash for bands though. Bands might want to take advantage of these freebies before Gigtown's funding runs out.

Stadium shuffle continues within NFL

If Vegas gets a team, they should make that stadium the permanent home of all the future Superbowls. Now that would be a great yearly location for that game. Plus, if you give them all the Superbowls you could probably get the local hoteliers there to throw in all the additional funding. Sports fanatics in Vegas for a solid week around the Superbowl...it would be a gold mine for the casinos. This is one city that could, without a doubt, make a ton of money off of hosting the big game.

East Miramar Marines escort bikers out and confiscate their bikes

I'd like to mention that the two Marines on the cover were standing near "No Trespassing" signs when photographed. Also, the old Atlas missile test site had areas of extreme bee infestation. It also had some sheer drops that would be easy to miss at night. It makes sense that people should steer clear of this area for their own safety. In the East Elliot region, along with the outside threat of unexploded ordnance, there is also the chance of getting hit by a bullet ricocheting off an object near the firing range. This additional threat does not apply to the base's land that would have been transferred with the Stowe Trail deal. Lastly, Daubner informed me this morning via email that some of the bikes had been returned damaged. The riders are apparently filing damage claims with the military.

Dean Spanos comes clean about punking San Diego

It really doesn't surprise me that it was a joke all along. What does surprise me is that Kroenke actually played along. Fabiani did do a great job at keeping a straight face for sure. I was actually pretty convinced that the team actually wanted to move. It really was a pretty awesome joke. An epic gag, if you will. In the end, it just all proves how much The Chargers love San Diego. Only the bestest of your friends would put so much time and effort into a practical joke. It's all about the love. I know some people don't think paying for a new Chargers stadium is a good idea, but I think it's pretty obvious that if we do get a new stadium, every worker in this city will make an extra $8,500.00 yearly once it opens. It's just simple math. People like to go and watch football and spend money on stuff, and when people spend money on stuff in the area in which you live all the workers annually make an extra $8,500.00. It's a given, and it has been explained in a couple of articles I have read online. Plus, if we don't get a new stadium everyone will stop coming to San Diego, and all the locals who are loyal to the Chargers will follow them to whatever city they will move to. As in, they will literally quit their jobs as doctors, lawyers and nurses and get new jobs in the new city the Chargers call home so they can continue to make their extra $8,500.00 yearly. It's just simple math and economics and, above all, loyalty to a team. The mass exodus of Chargers fans will wreak havoc on San Diego's economy. Residents will not only lose their extra $8,500.00 annual stadium income, they will also experience massive financial aftershocks from a city suddenly devoid of crowds. Traffic accidents will drop 68% due to a sudden lack of rush hour traffic throughout the county. Tow truck businesses and body shops will go out of business overnight. Collisions at once crowded surf breaks will become so rare, that every paramedic in the city will be forced into early retirement, and the lifeguard force will be reduced to two dudes who can swim real good. Rents will drop to unbelievably low rates as rentals suddenly far outnumber the renters, leaving, fair loving landlords in financial ruin throughout the city. In short, thanks the heavens this was only an elaborate practical joke, and if I could write Spanos a check that wouldn't bounce all the way to the bank due to previous, terribly misguided financial decisions (primarily derived from random internet articles) I would do so.

Spanos commits!

If no deal is struck by, say, May, could the city play hardball and threaten to charge the team millions more in rent as a means of leverage? With the team coming back, it really seems like the city should have the advantage with the negotiations. I mean, technically, do they even have to let them play at Qualcomm? The team left town and white-washed San Diego affiliations from their operations, it seems like everything should be back to square one. If anything, the city should make a grip of money from the team playing at Qualcomm this year. The team is really in a tough spot because, if San Diego did not welcome them back, where would they even go? Would they play at some random, junior college stadium as a generic southern California team? It all seems like a potentially good opportunity for a city to make some good money off an NFL franchise.

It's not over. Chargers given time to woo San Diego

If we learned anything from this entire debacle it has to be that the NFL definitely wants a football team and a new stadium in San Diego. This deal seems to have been arranged to make Spanos stay put. They could probably bankrupt him with the relocation fee, and then they toss in an extra $100 million to sweeten the pot down here. But the NFL also obviously played a part in killing Carson as well, so Spanos could be angling to go to Inglewood knowing that he would make less money just to screw both the NFL and San Diego. It is interesting that the NFL has said that it is going to supervise the Inglewood negotiations for the two teams. I don't know which one of those (Kroenke or the NFL) is currently a greater nemesis to Spanos. It almost feels like the NFL just wants to listen in so they can nix anything Spanos proposes. Or perhaps drop some more financial bombs on him such as a "$250 million NFL negotiation fee." The city should also recognize this win and immediately drop any potential public funding out of their stadium proposal. Carson was a charade all along (even if Spanos didn't realize it at the time) and the end-game was always the public shelling out the majority of the money for a stadium down here. They dangled the LA relocation over our shoulders, and the city didn't blink. Now another deadline has been set in a desperate attempt to (once again) milk money out of taxpayers pockets with the threat of leaving. The craziest part of this whole deal is that the Chargers could play an entire season of football in San Diego as this plays out. I mean that is just weird. I don't know if there has ever been such a potentially lame duck team in the NFL...yet another sign that the city called a bluff that the league wasn't expecting them to.

Chargers head opposed to Inglewood move

Even if the games are played in domes, it would still be a logistical nightmare to host a superbowl in a city which is, say, in the midst of a criplling ice storm. People who get superbowl tix (often randoms who have good corporate connections) attend not only for the game, but for a nice vacation as well. Most likely a long weekend. If that weekend revolves around waiting for the power in your hotel to pop back on and praying not to slip on the icy sidewalks people might start to rethink Superbowls in cities with harsh winters.

Chargers head opposed to Inglewood move

Don, since you have followed this story so closely, do you think that even if the Chargers roll the NFL will still try to get a new stadium built here within the next ten years? My suspicion is that the league very much wants SD to host Superbowls...even if there is a new stadium in LA. I was even thinking that the NFL could have a decent amount of success using San Diego as a city with no home team that only hosted exhibition games. It would basically be a SoCal version of the London games. You load up the schedule with teams who have a great travelling fanbase (Stillers, Green Bay, Broncos) and sell the fans on the games/mini-vacation package. The Chargers apparently did this to some extent this year and it seemed to work well. It would be completely outside of the regular NFL box, but it could give the league an option for a good superbowl stadium in a temperate climate. We are only one week-long blizzard away from Superbowls in New Jersey and Minnesota becoming a thing of the past. I suspect in the future that the NFL will construct a handful of superstadiums (similar to Texas Stadium) that will rotate Superbowls in temperate climates. The other remaining stadiums will shrink in size while increasing in luxury boxes. Every seat will be great, but it will cost you at least $300-$500 to attend a game. The uber-wealthy will become season ticket holders, while the lower and middle-class will only attend games on special occasions. The proposed stadium in the east village was going to shrink and follow this model somewhat. Less seats, less fans, but better views and way more revenue.
