If Chargers move to L.A., they'll have two losing teams
Don: In some of Mark Davis's comments regarding a new stadium in Oakland, he said all he really wanted up there was something that would seat at least 55,000. He wasn't interested in having a Super Bowl in his new stadium--he just wanted a new stadium.— December 14, 2016 9:25 a.m.
If Chargers move to L.A., they'll have two losing teams
I believe back when Qualcomm Stadium was named, the city only needed $18 million to cover what was needed to pay for the last expansion (even though Bruce Henderson has always claimed it was much more than that), so that's what Susan Golding asked for. Yes, the naming rights were low-balled, but no one back then was getting 18M-20M per year back when the Q was named. I also think it's doubtful any new stadium here would ever get that much in sponsorship money per year.— December 14, 2016 9:23 a.m.
If Chargers move to L.A., they'll have two losing teams
But they won't.— December 13, 2016 10:36 p.m.
If Chargers move to L.A., they'll have two losing teams
Don: $1 per year? The city is making progress, since the Chargers aren't paying ANY rent now. I'm sure the usual suspects are readying the lawsuits, or even recall petitions. And they should be.— December 13, 2016 10:37 a.m.
If Chargers move to L.A., they'll have two losing teams
I think the Rams can live with 9.8% of LA area homes tuned into their games, since the LA market is so much bigger than the St Louis market. And another tidbit from yesterday--the Chargers game wasn't even shown in the LA market yesterday. Hope the Charger fan up there wasn't too disappointed.— December 12, 2016 5:57 p.m.
Like Johnson, like Faulconer?
There is a link to the story in the first paragraph.— December 6, 2016 4:46 p.m.
Like Johnson, like Faulconer?
A sex scandal? Sounds more like Bob Filner.— December 6, 2016 10:49 a.m.
Convention center report padded with favorable numbers
Don: In one of the paragraphs above--the one that starts with, "People aren't staying anywhere near 4 nights, and they never have,". The same holds true for that farce of a convadium-thingy the Chargers tried to force onto the electorate. There really aren't that many out-of-town fans that come to Charger games (with rare exceptions), as most of the out-of-town team's fans already live here.— December 1, 2016 3:22 p.m.
Convention center report padded with favorable numbers
Don: If I may, I will answer your question posed to Mike Murphy. I go to the convention center once a year. For the Auto Show. And rest assured--I don't think there are too many room nights generated by that event.— December 1, 2016 3:17 p.m.
Hoteliers and city sued for "ill-gotten gains"
As much as I don't really care for Cory Briggs, I hope he wins his fight over legal fees, and I hope this new lawsuit is successful.— November 28, 2016 4:35 p.m.
