Horton's at the door
As an outsider looking in on this, I can't help but wonder--with all of the shenanigans that went on with McCann and the school board, how in the HELL did McCann get elected to the city council again?— January 11, 2015 12:43 p.m.
Get in line, Chargers
Don: Obviously, they can point to the sale of the Qualcomm and Sports Arena properties as a way to pay for a new downtown stadium, but just as obvious, they don't count the hundreds of millions those sales could bring as a payment by taxpayers. If that were to happen (and somehow pass with the electorate), the next project on the near-term horizon would be the construction of a new arena because, after all, the old arena will be torn down if that land is sold.— January 10, 2015 4:47 p.m.
Get in line, Chargers
Don: Rams owner (at the time) Georgia Frontiere was hated in the LA area--I believe they would welcome the Rams back now with open arms.— January 9, 2015 9:14 p.m.
Get in line, Chargers
Don: As you say--40%? Not even close.— January 9, 2015 9:05 p.m.
Get in line, Chargers
danfogel--That is where I think the Rams would be different. They were an LA team for almost 50 years, and I think they would do very well in the market. I have my doubts about the Chargers or Raiders in that market.— January 8, 2015 1:54 p.m.
Will Walmart hubby take Chargers away?
Kroenke doesn't want to share his stadium with any other teams, so there may NOT be a place for the Chargers to play up there, which puts them right to square one here--except for the fact that 25% of their revenue may be lost as soon as the Rams move back to LA.— January 6, 2015 8:50 p.m.
Get in line, Chargers
danfogel--I am very aware of that, but the NFL is also about image, and the image of a stadium with thousands of empty seats wouldn't play well for the league.— January 6, 2015 11:32 a.m.
Get in line, Chargers
Don: JMO, but I must disagree. The NFL is a success in the sportsbooks, but I doubt it would be a success at the gate. I guess it's not impossible, just highly improbable.— January 6, 2015 9:23 a.m.
Get in line, Chargers
Two problems--the stadium does have flaws, and they are multiplying (just like the rest of the infrastructure in the city). The team also has one other option--they could move to San Antonio. Also--you state that a radio person said that the Chargers had an "incalculable" economic effect for the city. They would (and should) be afraid to give the real numbers. I would hate to see the Chargers leave, personally, but would San Diego roll up and die? Hardly.— January 5, 2015 10:24 p.m.
Former ethics commissioner doesn't provide info to state bar
Don: I was just trying to make a comparison. Nothing has happened to Kamala Harris, even though she has been very late with required biennial reports on the activities of her office. Probably not a good comparison.— December 28, 2014 7:13 p.m.
