Mob lawyer’s memoir omits Hedgecock and Manchester
I wonder what the ratings are for U-T TV--or are there even enough people ever watching to register a ratings number?— June 24, 2013 10:48 a.m.
Why pro sports subsidies are c**p
To me, the fact that the Giants have won 2 of the last 3 World Series is irrelevant. The A's would be moving 40 miles farther away--the Combined Statistical Area which includes San Jose, Oakland, and San Francisco is almost 8.4 million people. With Oakland moving to San Jose, that would not change--both teams draw from the same regional area. I think any fan drop off for the Giants would be negligible, but it should help the A's tremendously.— June 18, 2013 10:04 p.m.

And they make that money at the expense of the millions of $$ that the city must fork out to keep Qualcomm running. If anyone thinks a new stadium will be any different, they are fools.— June 18, 2013 8:59 p.m.

I agree. I was just repeating what someone else said in a different forum. I don't think Farmers wants anything to do with any stadium in San Diego.— June 18, 2013 8:56 p.m.
Why pro sports subsidies are c**p
If MLB had a real commissioner, he would tell the Giants to pound sand, and allow Oakland to move to San Jose. The stadium (last I checked) was projected to cost $400 mil, and seat somewhere in the mid 30,000 range (making it the smallest in MLB). Didn't see who was going to pay for it...— June 18, 2013 5:07 p.m.

Don--unfortunately, Qualcomm IS a dump. Adding seats at the Q several times does not constitute an upgrade. The plumbing is not good (although I don't believe it has reached the depths of the Oakland stadium issues). The place is crumbling, but that falls on the City for not maintaining it properly. The only good thing about Qualcomm Stadium is the playing field--that is usually in excellent condition. The scoreboard is an antique that is hard to see during the late afternoon. The P.A. system is pieced together--since the city can't get parts for it, they have to "mickey-mouse" it to keep it somewhat functional (according to a conversation I had with Donna Frye about that several years ago). Broken seats--an outer parking lot that is starting to look like many of San Diego's streets--the list could go on and on. Don't get me wrong; I am not advocating that San Diego spend hundreds of millions of $$ on a new stadium, but the city has created the current mess at Qualcomm by many years of deferred maintenance (similar to most of the rest of the city). Perhaps the only thing the city can hope for is something La Playa Heritage (I believe) has posted before--that Farmers will give San Diego the $700 mil to put their name on a stadium here, instead of giving it to AEG in LA for their failed downtown stadium plan.— June 18, 2013 3:09 p.m.
