Last -Minute Legislature Deal Boosts Chances of Massive Chargers Subsidy

Response to #10: So which is it: the stadium won't have enough seats to attract a Super Bowl, or Super Bowls don't actually bring a big economic impact? According to the U-T story, CCDC was formed in 1992 and state law eliminated spending caps in 1994. This bill brings San Diego in line with the law that other cities have operated under for the last 16 years.

Last -Minute Legislature Deal Boosts Chances of Massive Chargers Subsidy

Any new stadium would have to be legitimately expandable to Super Bowl capacity for all parties to jump on board. A new football venue is pointless if it can't bring the biggest sports event in the country back to San Diego. Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis seats 63,000 for Colts games but will expand to 70k to host the 2012 Super Bowl. Ford Field in Detroit seats 65k for football and expanded to 68k for Super Bowl XL. All things being equal, the league obviously would prefer to host the game in mega-stadiums like the new Cowboys Stadium. But not having 80k+ seats is no a deal-breaker, and the league will be happy to have Southern California back in the rotation.

Yes, we should all start taking journalism lessons from Jay Allen Sanford. Don't kid yourself guy--making the Reader look (more) stupid doesn't hurt one's credibility.

Agreed that the canyon is the Northern boundary...not sure about the 15, so I will keep looking for "official" documentation and report in another post. Thanks!
