Donovan and professional soccer to SD

[sdsu2000]

I give the guy credit that he wants to be a part of professional soccer in San Diego but he's still a moron. He announced on 11/25 he was committed to bring MLS to San Diego. Yesterday he was asking his follower where in SD County they would want MLS/USL to have a stadium.

So in just a month he went from MLS to MLS/USL. The 4 options his followers seemed to want were Chula Vista, a convadium (Downtown SD), Balboa Stadium and North County. I'll tell you right now that a convadium and Balboa Stadium are not going to happen and a waste of time. If you are going to Chula Vista or North County you should be looking at a 5-10,000 seat stadium and accept there's no chance for MLS.

MLS can still happen at SDSU West but I just don't see it happening with Donovan being involved. Maybe Donovan has already started to include USL in his conversations as another group is already working with MLS.

Or...they could go the USL route, and build a smaller stadium that can be expanded to MLS size should MLS ever come here.

I do agree with you that a convadium or Balboa Stadium are not an option. I'm not even sure about CV, since the Xolos are again expanding their stadium in Tijuana. North County could work--even in the northern areas of the City of San Diego. JMO.
