Taxpayers association thumbs down Chargers proposal
I agree, but I try not to be too insulting in these forums.— August 23, 2016 10:37 a.m.
Taxpayers association thumbs down Chargers proposal
Vote early and often.— August 23, 2016 10:36 a.m.
San Diego taxpayers to be Chargers laughingstock?
Don: I did see that this a.m. So Briggs is going to sue, and I have to admit, in this case, I am all for his lawsuit.— August 21, 2016 6:50 p.m.
San Diego taxpayers to be Chargers laughingstock?
The "accommodation" was mainly adding seats. Nothing more. Also, it was written into their lease that the Chargers could leave before 2020, but only if they paid a fee (which in 2017, is $12.575 million). The fee is on a sliding scale, which drops to $0 after 2020. Ironically, that fee come nowhere near to recovering the cost of the expansion. Another fine contract "negotiated" by the city.— August 21, 2016 6:43 p.m.
San Diego taxpayers to be Chargers laughingstock?
Don: They aren't paying anything. Rent credits reduce the rent to $0, since the city had to remove seats and make other alterations AFTER they added the seats for the Chargers in the mid-'90's due to ADA requirements.— August 21, 2016 6:41 p.m.
San Diego taxpayers to be Chargers laughingstock?
Don: We would be going in circles at this point if I continue to respond. I have spent way too much time in that facility to know that the place had better sight lines for baseball than for football. Always had, and always will. This may temper our discussion a bit, as I have absolutely no intention of voting for either the Briggs "plan" or the Chargers "plan".— August 21, 2016 4:54 p.m.
San Diego taxpayers to be Chargers laughingstock?
Trust me, I don't want the city to do anything to the Q. I would rather the Chargers just build their own new facility in Mission Valley. The odds on that happening on that are, it's safe to say, quite low.— August 21, 2016 4:50 p.m.
San Diego taxpayers to be Chargers laughingstock?
Then you are for the city spending that money, as the Chargers won't do it. They would remind you, or anyone else, that the Q is a city facility, and they are just a tenant.— August 21, 2016 12:02 p.m.
San Diego taxpayers to be Chargers laughingstock?
Don: We can just agree to disagree. The place was built to handle multiple sports--unfortunately for the city, it was a much better facility for baseball than football.— August 21, 2016 12:01 p.m.
San Diego taxpayers to be Chargers laughingstock?
Don: You just proved my point, as they don't play baseball there any more. As a sports stadium, the Q was always a better venue for baseball than football. It is not an "absolute necessity", but it would make the Q a much better football facility.— August 21, 2016 6:31 a.m.
