Aztec Warrior Stadium refurbished and modified to about 60K seats at the West Campus. I can go for that!

I don't see what the Charger's success or lack thereof has to do with the price of tea in China...

Inferiority complex. As if it's been the Chargers instead of bad coaching hindering the Aztecs all this time. Same with with the coalition of professors who believed that the only thing holding us back from becoming the Harvard of the west was the few million dollars being used to support the football program. Look at the first post in this thread. Delusional. As if as soon as the Chargers leave all of a sudden a school in a broke state is going to be able to afford to build a new stadium and campus expansion. As if the Chargers want to stay in Mission Valley anyways. |

My wanting a new stadium for the football team all their own is PRECISELY the same mentality as the professors wanting to shut down the football program. Soon, I'll be shelling out more money for extra season tickets so that the athletic department will go broke! I'm a visionary that way. |

Seriously? Come on now, Chargers are part of our community best thing for them it to get a new stadium downtown and SDSU get the Q site. Win win for everyone. I am very much afraid that SDSU would be forced to follow the Chargers downtown if a new stadium is built there. I would like to see the Aztecs keep playing in Mission Valley for a number of reasons (and despite the Q's obvious shortcomings), but I'm afraid that is not in the cards. I consider Bob F to be the resident authority (more or less) on planning and related issues. Maybe Bob can opine on the chances that the Q would be left standing with no Chargers to help defray costs of maintaining that venerable edifice. I should further clarify that the scenario I am putting forth seems to me to be different from one that assumes the Chargers have left SD and there is no new stadium downtown. (A related question is this: what are the relative price tags for (A) tearing down the Q and building a new stadium there and (B) making major upgrades to the Q to keep it usable for the next decade and a half?)

As if the Chargers want to stay in Mission Valley anyways. That's a huge, steaming pile of crap. Fabiani has consistently alluded to SDSU losing the stadium if the Chargers leave as a means to gain support from SDSU fans and some of us are tired of it. You have no understanding at all of the difference between annual state funding and capital campaigns and spending. Have you looked at the redevelopment plans for the College Ave. area or the Adobe Falls area? Do you assume those are pipe dreams based upon a mistaken belief the state is the only funding source SDSU has? The community surrounding SDSU hates the Adobe Falls proposal. So in place of that, they use the capital funds raised to redevelop the stadium site. Jeez, get a clue. =Bob |

It would be cheaper to build a new stadium than renovate the Q

AzWm Keeping in mind that my degrees are in Asian Studies and Poli Sci, I really can't say that much on the economics. I am assuming that the school has a damn decent capital fund based upon its plans for the College Ave. Redevelopment Area and Adobe Falls. We're actually arguing these points without knowing how much is in the capital fund. A quick check just now didn't find anything, but I'm sure the information is out there. In terms of planning, remodeling the stadium would require nothing more than a Negative Declaration, mostly focusing on what would be going into whatever landfill, but campus expansion, no matter what it would entail, would most likely require a new EIR. The river people would want to see a greenbelt buffer along the river, but that's doable. The people living in Mission Valley in developments that should have never been built wil be mostly concerned about traffic, especially if a research park is involved. Personally, I'd like to see a 100-foot wide buffer aglon the river and various green areas throughout the parking lot for tailgating. But the best I can say about redevelopment is that it would take a lot of planning on design and I'm not a design person - I've always been a policy wonk. Still, I think it could be done and done well, without the EIR screw ups that caused the arena delays. =Bob |

Don't really understand this thread. How can you be San Diego fan and not root for the Chargers, the hometown team? Also, did you ever think that if the Aztecs played in a new NFL stadium that it would be a great recruiting tool?

Three idiots DOMINATE this subject of hating the Chargers. 99% of population would love to see both succeed.
Same morons should argue that SDSU Baseball attendance is gonna be down until Padres move out of town.

Aztec Warrior Stadium refurbished and modified to about 60K seats at the West Campus. I can go for that! Don't need 60k as 45k to 50k would be better suited for our attendance history. It would also be a fit for the ever shrinking Holiday Bowl and the growing Poinsettia bowl. |

I don't think that Aztec fans need to come off as anti-San Diego. The fans of the pro teams are still fans and love their teams just as much as we love the Aztecs. I am just suggesting that just being pro-SDSU is enough; we do not need to be (nor will it advance our cause) to become anti-all other SD teams. jmo

I'm not a fan of baseball at all but I casually root for the Padres because they are they are the hometown team. If I'm buying a baseball cap it's gonna have an SD on it. I don't see any conflict whatsoever with rooting for both the Chargers and Aztecs. I love watching football on Saturdays AND Sundays. |
