An option: Chargers stay, Qualcomm gets facelift
Don--One more thing then I will stop. It obviously wasn't a football only stadium--since through the 2003 season, the Padres still played there. The field never changed, and the seats never changed. The only thing that happened was the number of seats increased along with the number of boxes.— January 15, 2016 7:59 p.m.
An option: Chargers stay, Qualcomm gets facelift
Don--The only thing I disagreed with you on was that the Q had already been turned into a football stadium, and that remodeling the facility would have been foolish. I am not, nor have I ever, been a proponent of a remodel of the Q. Nor am I a proponent of a massive taxpayer subsidy to build a new stadium. Again, I was just saying that the Q is not primarily a football stadium.— January 15, 2016 5:38 p.m.
An option: Chargers stay, Qualcomm gets facelift
Don--I disagree. Basically all the city did was add seats and skyboxes. They didn't solve the problem of what should be the best seats in the stadium--club level seats and suites that are just too far from the field. Doing that would involve massive amounts of demolition and reconstruction that would cost hundreds of millions of dollars. A good example (or really bad example, depending on your thoughts) was what Chicago did to Soldier Field. They essentially built a new stadium within the shell of the old Soldier Field for over $600 million 13 years ago. Arrowhead Stadium in KC was remodeled starting in 2007 for $375 million--and it was already a stadium mainly built for football.— January 15, 2016 3:55 p.m.
An option: Chargers stay, Qualcomm gets facelift
To turn the Q into primarily a football stadium will take much, much more than the $80 million previously proposed by those who feel a remodel is all that is necessary.— January 15, 2016 2:47 p.m.
Rams/Chargers Inglewood stadium close to winning vote
They have until May 1st regarding their lease--but the NFL wants a decision by March, due to scheduling issues.— January 12, 2016 10:46 p.m.
It's not over. Chargers given time to woo San Diego
Not if there are 2 teams in LA.— January 12, 2016 10:44 p.m.
Rams/Chargers Inglewood stadium close to winning vote
Final score: Inglewood 30, Carson 2. Too bad the Chargers couldn't have had more victories that large this season. I also look forward to our resident expert on all things Carson, known as John Ogre. Or David Benz. Or JohnnyO. I am sure he has many thoughts on just how wrong all of the NFL owners are.— January 12, 2016 6:36 p.m.
Chargers head opposed to Inglewood move
Reports have circulated stating that stadium construction could start in a matter of weeks if/when the Rams are approved to move back to LA. I think the Inglewood mayor said that, but I am not sure.— January 11, 2016 5:18 p.m.
San Diego Raiders...how does that sound?
Agree, but this IS the NFL we are talking about. The sooner the other owners can get their hands on 2 relocation fees, the better they will feel.— January 11, 2016 1:53 p.m.
San Diego Raiders...how does that sound?
Don: But being broke apparently is just a minor inconvenience in Detroit, as they are somehow spending $627 million on a new arena for the Red Wings.— January 11, 2016 11:52 a.m.
