Good weather, high cost of living make San Diego bad for pro sports
Good points all. And Visalia benefitted from a partial remodel of their ballpark. They would have redone the whole place, but the city ran out of money. And it is still a great little ballpark. All in all, the Cal League is pretty stable at this point, with great facilities for just about all of the current teams.— February 25, 2018 11:31 a.m.

Don: Which makes no sense. SDSU doesn't want the old stadium, Soccer City doesn't want the old stadium, and the city certainly doesn't want to keep that old stadium. Neither current proposal involves keeping the stadium standing beyond the point a new stadium can be constructed.— February 25, 2018 10:15 a.m.

Then there used to be 5 teams in So Cal. When was the last big housing bubble? 2008? Up until 2009, Rancho Cucamonga was still regularly averaging 4,000 and higher per game. By 2010, the bubble burst. The only team to average even 3,000 per game recently was Lake Elsinore, and that was 2015. And the Mavericks, when they started , were setting league records for attendance. The teams remaining are indeed surviving on local support, along with the occasional rehab appearance by a player from the Dodgers or Angels. The only exception to that might be Lake Elsinore, as I know they market to north SD County, but even they have down-sized their stadium a bit. Ironically, I go see more Storm games each year than I do Padres games.— February 24, 2018 3:04 p.m.

Don: In either plan, the stadium comes down.— February 24, 2018 9:39 a.m.
Good weather, high cost of living make San Diego bad for pro sports
High Desert basically got the ball rolling on most of the Cal League teams getting new or vastly refurbished ballparks. But offense in that park in Adelanto was even more of a joke than Coors Field--witnessed by the game in 2009 where Lake Elsinore beat High Desert by the score of 33-18. Batting practice was always entertaining, while watching balls end up in the desert beyond the parking lot in LF.— February 24, 2018 12:16 a.m.
Titters over Chargers' Twitter numbers
Don: Based on previous Chargers interviews regarding SD media, it appears that the Chargers only answers the questions that they have approved of in advance. No questions about the past, and other things like that, are not addressed by Chargers "leadership".— February 23, 2018 11:32 p.m.
