SD belches out the beer jobs and revenue
So...maybe we should expand local breweries and leave the convention center alone?— August 16, 2015 2:52 p.m.
U-T finally concedes what everybody knows
Rams 1st, Raiders 2nd, and Chargers a distant 3rd (in spite of all the BS that Fabiani spews).— August 10, 2015 3:23 p.m.
U-T finally concedes what everybody knows
Don: Don't you mean LA cities were not going to provide MORE subsidies? Anaheim spent $$ to expand Anaheim Stadium for the Rams, and Irwindale gave Al Davis $10 million to, in essence, go look at a gravel pit that could be turned into a new stadium for the Raiders (the gravel pit is still there, by the way). Davis took the non-refundable $10 mil, and soon went back to Oakland, after Oakland destroyed the Oakland Coliseum enlarging it for the Raiders.— August 10, 2015 3:19 p.m.
U-T finally concedes what everybody knows
Don: Paying nothing for the use of the stadium? Sounds familiar.— August 10, 2015 9:23 a.m.
U-T finally concedes what everybody knows
Don: Actually, the Chargers would never agree to that (assuming they could afford it), as they realize that fixing the Q would not be as easy as some think. One of the issues is the seats are too far from the playing field for football--they need to be brought closer to the field, and to do that, the pitch angle of the lower level seats needs to be increased. Between that, and the crumbling interior infrastructure of the Q, it would take many hundreds of millions to fix--which is why the Chargers (and others) have said remodeling the stadium is no good. Of course, that's easy for the Chargers to say, since in their world, they feel they should really be paying nothing for any new stadium, regardless of Fabiani's comments to the contrary.— August 9, 2015 11:22 p.m.
U-T finally concedes what everybody knows
Don: Yes they did. And the only reason the Rams were dying in LA was the owner let it happen. And once St Louis waived a new stadium in front of Georgia Frontiere (Rams owner at the time), she took her Rams and moved the franchise. Anaheim Stadium was a colossal waste of money when Anaheim tried to turn it into a multi-sport facility, and it was a crappy place for football. The addition also made it a crappy place for baseball.— August 9, 2015 11:11 p.m.
Like SDSU, like Faulconer?

Lucchino to leave Red Sox in shakeup
Don: Which was the point I was trying to make. Moores wouldn't spend the money, and Lucchino couldn't convince him it would have better for the franchise if he had. That's why (IMO) Lucchino left San Diego, and why the Padres were, shall we say, less than a success on the field under John Moores.— August 4, 2015 10:16 a.m.
Lucchino to leave Red Sox in shakeup
I, for one, don't hate Lucchino. I wish he would have stayed with the Padres. It's my understanding that the reason he left was Moores didn't want to spend the money necessary to build the franchise and farm system to a level that it should have been after Petco Park was approved. Even after the ballpark was opened, Moores was pleading poverty--while raking in untold millions (hundreds of millions?) in the areas around the ballpark that JMI controlled. The Padres would have been much better off if Lucchino had stayed with the Padres.— August 3, 2015 4:53 p.m.
Coronado toll booths give way to fantasizing
Did Coronado even see any of that toll money? I thought that went to the state?— July 30, 2015 9:18 a.m.
