San Diego taxpayers to be Chargers laughingstock?
Don: Just letting you know that if the Q is to remain viable long-term, moving the seats closer to the field is an absolute necessity, and that will cost more money than most think.— August 20, 2016 12:26 p.m.
San Diego taxpayers to be Chargers laughingstock?
Renovating the Q will be more expensive than many people think. There are too many seats too far from the field, and it would be a major undertaking to fix that situation.— August 19, 2016 10:11 a.m.
San Diego taxpayers to be Chargers laughingstock?
There have been numbers floated out by the Chargers--something to the effect of "7,000 jobs will be created by the facility and another 17,000 workers will be involved in building the facility". Doing a bit of homework, the current stadium--which I might add, is larger than the stadium proposed by the Chargers--has a total of around 2,500 people that work for a typical Charger game. A smaller stadium, with attached convention facility (which can't be used during football games), will have almost 3 TIMES AS MANY EMPLOYEES AS THE CURRENT STADIUM???!!! I don't think so. And the 17,000 number for construction workers to build the new facility? I sense a wee bit of fantasy in those numbers as well.— August 18, 2016 10:57 a.m.
New Chargers stadium guarantees higher prices
Don: I know there were blackouts. Regarding future seasons--I see the Chargers moving to LA (as long as Spanos owns the team) or staying here (again, as long as Spanos owns the team). I think there is a slight chance they move to San Antonio (but I don't think Spanos will own the club if that were to happen). If Spanos were to sell the franchise while they are still in San Diego, I am pretty sure that any new owner would move the club from San Diego, but I have no idea where they would end up. There just aren't that many viable alternatives. Just my opinion, however.— August 12, 2016 10:58 p.m.

That is also true. The Chargers don't really care how they "fill the Q", no matter what they claim.— August 11, 2016 7:08 p.m.
New Chargers stadium guarantees higher prices
The Chargers do OK at filling the Q--they drew 94.6% of capacity, which was 22nd in The League last season. Blackouts? What blackouts? The blackout rule has been suspended by the NFL. And if you want to blame the visiting team's fans for taking over the Q, blame the Charger season ticket holders, who regularly sell tickets for certain games at inflated prices to fans of the visiting team (who in many cases already live in the San Diego area), and use that money to pay for season tickets for future seasons.— August 11, 2016 2:41 p.m.
New Chargers stadium guarantees higher prices
Don--A correction to your article: In 1998, the Padres had their best attendance numbers in their time at San Diego/Jack Murphy/Qualcomm Stadium. Once the Padres moved into Petco Park, their attendance numbers reached levels never before achieved by the club, drawing over 2.7 million fans in each of the first 4 seasons, including over 3 million in the initial year of the park. Now, of course, those numbers have fallen off to levels just barely over 2 million per season.— August 10, 2016 3:31 p.m.
Adobe Falls trespassers keep trespassing
Maybe they can get their hands on the 8 foot fence that was used during the DNC convention in Philadelphia. They had, what, 4 miles of it? Of course, then THAT will be defaced by graffiti.— July 31, 2016 3:42 p.m.
Tasting rooms, breweries NOT blamed for problems
Love the name "Belching Beaver". Good beer, too.— July 25, 2016 8 a.m.
Police surveillance cameras activated in Ocean Beach
It seems strange that they put in a camera system with cameras that are fixed--they can't pan or zoom or control the focus.— July 21, 2016 4:03 p.m.
