Rip down Qualcomm and build new stadium?
Don: That stadium will be gone in probably 5-6 years. The Raiders will be in Las Vegas, and the A's will be playing in a new stadium somewhere in Oakland, or elsewhere.— September 15, 2017 5:46 p.m.
Rip down Qualcomm and build new stadium?
Don: I've taken that trip myself. 6 minutes is accurate. SDSU is only 3 stops away from the stadium site.— September 14, 2017 11:17 p.m.
Rip down Qualcomm and build new stadium?
Don: It is currently the third smallest. The only 2 smaller stadiums are, the soccer stadium the Team That Used To Play Here will play in for the next 3 years, and the Oakland Coliseum (which actually seats 63,000+, but the Raiders cover 10,000 seats with a tarp).— September 14, 2017 3:29 p.m.

They might be parking there already. You know you could find a parking spot with no hassle, and then it's a 6 minute ride to campus. No way could the students get back and forth from the current campus to the stadium site in 6 minutes.— September 14, 2017 2:09 p.m.

But you don't say where the Chargers would play IF they came back to SD. The Raiders were actually averaging less than that, at about 50k per game. And--the Chargers were already valued at over $2 billion before the move north (as just about all franchise values rose, thanks to the Rams doubling in value to $2.9 billion after their move back to LA). As far as $panos selling the club--he can't for 10 years, without incurring a financial penalty from the NFL. Unless, of course, the NFL changes their rules again.— September 14, 2017 1:28 p.m.
Rip down Qualcomm and build new stadium?
Don: It was a historical landmark--at least until the rebuild. It was as if they thought if they kept some of the exterior, it would still be considered a landmark. It was delisted almost immediately upon completion. And--it is also one of the smallest NFL stadiums.— September 14, 2017 10:03 a.m.
Rip down Qualcomm and build new stadium?
Don: It WAS a new stadium, built within the outer walls of the old one.— September 14, 2017 12:27 a.m.
Rip down Qualcomm and build new stadium?
Don: I was using Statista, which has stats on just about everything. However, to see what metrics they used, I have to pay to get that info. Not interested. But Vivid Seats is a resale site (I believe), and I think Statista was using numbers closer to face value of the tickets. But considering the thousands of visiting team fans that went to Charger home games on a regular basis, the Charger season seat holders figured that out long ago and sold their seats to the highest bidder. There appeared to be a better resale market for tickets here than in Jacksonville.— September 14, 2017 12:24 a.m.
Rip down Qualcomm and build new stadium?
Don: Announced tickets include student tickets, which are free (I believe). I don't imagine that many of the paid for tickets go unused.— September 14, 2017 12:13 a.m.
And now a message against SoccerCity
Yes, it is a disaster, if approved.— September 13, 2017 11:16 p.m.
