So with the latest volley of articles about SDSU football , fans , coaches , .... what do you think about the city of San Diego wanting to help facilitate a facility for SDSU ? I I don't mean to be a smart-ass ( ok..I do) but as I've said all along, the Aztecs NEED the chargers in order to improve their lot. Those that cannot see this self-evident fact are willfully blind to reality. Yes, self-evident. One need only look at all the Aztec Football championship banners, bowl trophies, big game victories, etc, over the years and decades since the Bolts first graced us with their presence to realize just how spot-on you are.

I never knew this approach was on the table. It's my understanding that Aztec Warrior Stadium will be funded through donations from our mega-rich donor base and our Harvard-like endowment. All that's needed is for Spanos to clear out of town and Marty Block's shear force of will take care of the rest. I don't mean to be a smart-ass ( ok..I do) but as I've said all along, the Aztecs NEED the chargers in order to improve their lot.

Don't you think it's a stretch to blame the Chargers for our flaccid football program? Or am I reading you incorrectly?

Here ya go Alum 2003 Economic Impact of University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ FUNDING & ECONOMIC IMPACT The overall cost of the stadium was approximately $455 million. The Arizona Sports & Tourism Authority provided $300.4 million to the overall construction of University of Phoenix Stadium. The Construction phase added 3,500 jobs and $400 million in economic benefits to area. The NFL Arizona Cardinals contribute approximately $150 million to the economy each year. The Tostitos Fiesta Bowl contributes approximately $140 million each year in economic impact. On game days there will be over 2,500 employees on site, ranging from event, team, facility, catering and concessions, security, and housekeeping operations and services. The 2011 BCS National Championship Game contributed 188 million to the local economy. www.universityofphoenixstadium.com/stadium/statistics____________________ Economic Impact of AT&T/Cowboys Stadium in Arlington Just google that one for all sorts of interesting info. No doubt you can do the same for all the newer stadiums in their locales. Just a few things you might want to consider ... Arizona Cardinals stadium authority faces funding shortfallJudge: Arizona must refund millions from rental-car tax that pays for stadiumsThe Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority is a State agency that accrues resources from across the state to offset the impact on Glendale, for the benefit of the entire state ... The population of the State of Arizona is 6.73M as compared to that of the City of San Diego at 1.36M. NONE of your bits of info above have ANYTHING to do with the Economic Impact of the University of Phoenix Stadium ie. the subject I was posting about.

Arizona and Tourism don't even belong in the same paragraph. I guess that's why they get so many snowbirds each and every year.

Yet another piece reminding us what we all know... publicly funding a stadium is a bad idea. www.npr.org/2015/09/16/440651378/deford-spending-public-money-on-sports-stadiums-is-bad-businessab All I need to know is there. If you ask me to vote for a tax increase of any kind in order to fund a stadium, my answer is no. Like I already said... among my neighbors and friends... many of whom are Chargers/Aztec fans themselves... they'll vote no, as well. Just another billionaire looking for a tax break. Next story, please. I can't help you and your cheap acquaintances if neither of you can't see the light of day.

When the Chargers broke off negotiations in June the City was offering them a deal that would have cost City residents $51 per year for a family of five for 30 years. If the Chargers get shut out of LA (incredibly unlikely) and are forced to come back to the table in San Diego expect it to be much more than that. The only way something gets done in San Diego is if the mayor doesn't put it to a vote. $51/yr= ouch!

Oooooh, like that's headline news. Grubman made it very clear that the cities are to present to the committee and NOT all the owners, who are to be at this meeting.

Yes, he created a strawman to force me to choose a side when all I was doing is pointing out the absurdity of a comment like, "Aztec football NEEDS the Chargers to improve their lot," when we have 40 years of evidence to the contrary. This behavior you are exhibiting along with MOW's garbage is why posters and the media are trashing AM. You should be proud.

bigger problem could be if people think a stadium will correct the Aztecs problem on the field . UCLA did it by first improving their coaching and players , yes they have the PAC money deal . Too easy to blame it on the Chargers , and not back where it should be the football team .

There are a number of outcomes that would allow the Chargers to stay or go and the impact on the Aztecs can be either good or bad depending on a number of variables. The very most important variable is the performance of the football team and our ability to get people into the seats at what ever venue The Aztecs are attempting fill. If that is true, which I think it is, then the most important ball is in the court of SDSU leadership.
