Some things to check on Chargers' stadium plan
I figure there's roughly 500,000 tickets sold per year. The Chargers proposal is asking the city for at least $1B in public money. So let's say we finance 1B over 30 years at 5% interest...That's about 64M payment per year. Which works out to about $130 / ticket. Since having a great stadium experience is so important to NFL fans (according to NFL commisioner Roger Goodell) I would assume that Chargers fans would be more than happy to pay a $130 surcharge per home game ticket towards the Chargers' new stadium. Or maybe the Chargers and their fans would rather have someone else pay money towards something which primarily benefits them.— March 29, 2016 4:36 p.m.

Yeah asking for money just to see how JM is going to take more money from us is a pretty big slap in everybody's face.— March 29, 2016 9:40 a.m.

Personally I tend to think of Riverside / San Berdardino as more of an exurb of LA than a metro area in its' own right. Vegas is another area that's in the discussion for an NFL team - but the NFL likes to pretend it's opposed to gambling so the NFL is reluctant to move into Vegas.— March 28, 2016 8:09 p.m.

I heard this reported on AM 1360 (sports talk radio). The taxpayer handouts with this proposal seem to be rocketing past $1B and the list of wealthy taxpayer handout recipients is growing. At this point I'm half expecting Doug Manchester to somehow get his cut.— March 28, 2016 10:42 a.m.

Now being reported - John Moores wants to use the QCOM site for development and a new soccer stadium. Apparently SDSU gets a couple crumbs thrown in for good PR.— March 28, 2016 9:13 a.m.

Despite the fact that the details of the Spanos / Kroenke deal have not been made public, there seems to be an assumption that the Chargers can move in for $1 rent per year in LA. The only journalists or pundits that I have heard question the conventional logic that the Chargers have a really good deal to move into LA are Don Bauder and Bernie Wilson.— March 27, 2016 8:23 p.m.

I've lost some respect for Donna Frye due to her involvement in the similar "citizens initiative". Even when I disagreed with her I usually felt her motives were sincere (at least more so than most politicians). I wonder if she genuinely believes her / Briggs are actually acting in the public's interest. Of course I don't even have to wonder if Fred Mass is working for the public's best interest - he is clearly not.— March 27, 2016 1:55 p.m.
