New Calif. redevelopment law could stop Chargers stadium
2003 Super Bowl =============== OMG, I had COMPLETELY forgotten about this SB being played! I had to Google it, and then I remembered b/c the Raiders lost! Once reason I remember the 88 SB so well is because the Redskins stayed at the Hyatt Islandia, which was right across the bay from my home in South Mission Beach.— August 19, 2011 3:29 p.m.

If we had 1 superbowl every decade it would be a miracle, especially with ALL the new stadiums today. I will say the 1988 Superbowl with the Broncos and Redskins was one of the best run, best produced, most succesful Superbowls ever. But even with a new stadium the SB would not be a factor in SB's at all because of the infrequency of gettign one. We don't have a soccer team, and I would suggest if there were World Cup soccer it would be the same infrequent event such as a SB. As for monster truck shows- I pray we NEVER have those! Kidding aside, someone here or the UT made this very same claim many rears ago about the new AZ football stadium, claiming it was used nearly the entire year by supercross events (moto-cross racing), monster truck shows and the like-yet when the event calender for the stadium was checked it showed it was rarely used for these events, and also showed the stadium sat empty most of the year. The bottom line-if there is so much money in building a new stadium why has LA not built one in the last 16 years????????????????? Why aren't billionire developers lining up to make this big money you claim is out there??? I'll tell you why-because it is a fraud. There is no money to be made, only a black hole of taxes benefiting billionaire owners and millionaire players, to de-fraud the poor and middle class out of their livelihood, people who would never be able to afford the events in these stadiums THEY end up paying for. Sorry Tce, this aint your local UT bloggign site, the people posting here are far more schooled on these stadium and other tax issues than any other blogging site in San Diego. Heck even Bruce Henderson has posted here before, who knows maybe he will weigh in and offer hsi own comments.— August 19, 2011 3:24 p.m.

Have you ever heard of Tax revenue? Have you seen the reports about how Petco has exceeded their projections for the City ===================== Petco is not paying for itself, last I heard. I doubt that has changed. In any event, a billion dollar football stadium would not pay for itself-that is a ridiculous comment. You should work for Jerry Clown and be his spokesperson on that hundred billion dollar boondoggle bullet train, where the cost per passenger will be $1 million. You can tell the masses how much money it will save and won't cost more than the projected $40 BILLION originally (now over $100 BILLION!)— August 19, 2011 3:13 p.m.
SD Unemployment Rate Rises to 10.5%
More bad news for our banana republic.— August 19, 2011 3:07 p.m.

If anything, my agenda is for the City of SD to be better off, which is exactly what a new stadium will do. ================ Are you being paid by the Chargers? That is a serious question. There is no way a billion dollar plus stadium used 8 times per year could EVER be a benefit for San Diego. Ever. / I was born and raised there and love my team. There is so many benefits this new stadium will create. =============== Name one. BTW-there is nothing stopping Spanos from building his new stadium with his own money and land, why not let him do that if there are so many benefits????????— August 19, 2011 9:58 a.m.

If you're wondering why the Chargers would leave San Diego? The answer is that they are financially unable to compete with other teams because of the lack of luxury suites at the current stadium. All 32 teams share revenue on their regular ticket sales, but they keep their luxury suite ticket revenues for themselves. All of this type of information can be found on our website, plus other questions you may have. ================ Tyce, I am sorry but this comment is 100% FALSE. No team needs "luxury boxes" to "compete". The ONLY reason the NFL does NOT share "luxury box" revenue is because they use it as a bogus bargaining tool against muni's in order to con them into building a new stadium, at taxpayer expense of course, while they keep all the money. This rule was ****intentionally**** set up to con the public. The NFL could change that rule in 2 seconds with a vote of the owners. Making ALL "luxury box" revenue subject to sharing. And if Spanos wants those luxury boxes then HE can pay for them, not taxpayers.— August 19, 2011 9:55 a.m.
Billy Crystal Ready to Return as Oscars Host
Anne HAthaway and James Franco were average AT BEST. Billy Crystal is by far the best host in the last 20-30 years. Come on, Billy is a riot-and when you compare him to Letterman he is the funniest comedian of all-time.— August 19, 2011 9:48 a.m.

Henderson is the one we need to put/keep Spanos et al in line.— August 18, 2011 10:44 p.m.

Aguirre says there are remedies for keeping the team in San Diego, such as through an antitrust suit against the National Football League ==================== How about a fraud lawsuit.— August 18, 2011 10:43 p.m.
