San Diego considered floating stadium 50 years ago
Or when the stadium is declared obsolete, it could be towed out to sea to be sunk for artificial reefs.— March 3, 2014 5:18 p.m.
San Diego considered floating stadium 50 years ago
Too bad--would have been great for the OTL finals every year.— March 2, 2014 10:58 a.m.
Major League Soccer eyeing San Diego market
Don: They started going by the "Q's" almost immediately. The Minnesota Timberwolves go by the "T-wolves", and the NY Knicks are rarely referred to as the "Knickerbockers" anymore.— February 26, 2014 7:15 p.m.
Major League Soccer eyeing San Diego market
Don: It wasn't in San Diego, but I don't think Sterling really cared that much anyway. He wanted that team in LA--so much so that his team played at the LA Sports Arena for years.— February 26, 2014 7:12 p.m.
Major League Soccer eyeing San Diego market
David: They probably really only PLAYED 2 or 3. They weren't very good, especially after Sterling bought them.— February 22, 2014 9:39 p.m.
Major League Soccer eyeing San Diego market
David: The Rockets were first, starting in 1967. They were sold to Houston interests because Bob Breitbard was trying to get the city to reduce his rent on the arena property. The city said no, so Breitbard had no choice but to sell the Rockets. The Conquistadors came next, and then the Clippers. The Clippers were here 6 seasons--the last 3 of which were under the ownership of Sterling, who finally got his wish to move to L.A. As long as Sterling has anything to do with the Clippers, that team can go to hell.— February 22, 2014 1:22 p.m.
UT-TV goes dark on cable
Don: I'm ashamed to admit I already have one--mainly for the financial pages and the ever-shrinking (in coverage and quality of reporting) sports pages.— February 21, 2014 9:40 p.m.
Major League Soccer eyeing San Diego market
Don: I must correct you on your attendance figures. The Sockers average 4,272 per game (2nd overall in the league), and as per their agreement with the arena, they only use the lower seating bowl. For the league as a whole, you're numbers are correct--just not for the Sockers. The league averages just under 1400 per game, and there are many teams who struggle to get 1,000 fans to show up for their games. I don't think the MLS will ever come to San Diego, unless someone has millions laying around and the desire to build a 20,000-25,000 seat soccer-specific stadium and the ability to get a team to move here, or acquire an expansion team.— February 21, 2014 9:34 p.m.
UT-TV goes dark on cable
Jimgee: It works for me.— February 21, 2014 2:30 p.m.
UT-TV goes dark on cable
Don: I do get exercise out of the circular as I bend over (using my knees and not my back) to pick it up and immediately deposit it in the recycle barrel, so I guess there is that benefit.— February 21, 2014 2:25 p.m.
