SDSU "on campus" stadium will be at the Q site once SDSU takes over most of that property and builds campus facilities, housing, etc. on the site.

Hey, who in the world changed the topic title to this thread to add "(SDSU Next?)"?
I certainly didn't do it.
Watch what you're doing, moderator. It's innocuous in this case, but you're setting a bad precedent and can find yourself in court if you take it too far on other threads.
You're a board moderator, not my editor-in-chief with carte blanche powers of red-lining.

A Mission Campus is what gets us to the next level as a university: research park, growth, increased graduate programs. Boise's football is more fitting than anyone to get the call-up, but that university is trash and so they won't. If we won like boise for the next 10 years, we'll get a call up Academics and geography. I always laugh when I read somebody say on the MWC board how Boise would be a better fit for admission to the Big 12 than SDSU because Boise is so much farther east. Those people need to get out a frickin' map. Actually San Diego is barely any farther west than is Boise. It's just the contours of the California coast that mislead people. And because San Diego is so much farther south than Boise, it's considerably closer to the Texas and Oklahoma schools and so would fit nicely in the Big 12 South. And oh yeah. There's is little doubt in my mind that if the Big 12 expanded to say 14 several years from now that if our football program becomes as good as Boise's is now, we're going to get invited. In fact, I could easily see the Big 12 invite SDSU, Boise, BYU and AFA. (Sorry UNM fans, football teams matter far more than anything and yours is a trainwreck which nobody is doing anything to clean up.) |

Well, let's say somebody altered the title to read "I slept with so-and-so's wife" -- then I could see multiple parties lawyering-up. It's just a question of finding the location of the thin line. As I said, in this case it's innocuous -- but, believe me, the moderator does not want to find out where that line is with somebody else's thread who's not quite as understanding as I am. |

Where and Hell would you park and who the hell lives on Campus?
Great graphic though. How many seat 35K?
Make the filed black with red lines. There is already a Blue one,BSU and Eastern Washington's is red. Maybe it is got some mojo as EW won the DIAA title.
Just kidding man those things are ugly.

If you look at the satellite image of that site location (see Google Maps) you'll see a whole bunch of apartment properties along 55th Street. In order to remove those apartments via a condemnation action, the area would have to be designated a redevelopment district. But 55th Street forms a ridge which would require a huge amount of excavation and grading not to mention the environmental issues which could take decades to resolve with no guarantee of accomplishing anything. This concept is DOA IMO.

You obviously don't know a thing about the situation so I'm surprised you are even offering your opinion. Oh, and the previous AD had architectural stadium plans drawn on the site. DOA?...LMFAO. |

This concept is DOA IMO. SDSU purchased the $26 million dollar Albert Apartments on 55th street through Aztec Shops and it was approved by the Board of Trustees in 2009. SDSU will build a stadium on that location. All great things take time. |

This concept is DOA IMO. Just read through some of your old posts and saw that you want the Aztecs and Chargers to share a stadium so the Chargers stay in town...shocker  99 times out of 100 the guys who say an on campus stadium can't happen are Charger fans who are afraid the Aztecs doing their own thing hurts the Chargers stadium search. |

You're a board moderator, not my editor-in-chief with carte blanche powers of red-lining. If you would read your initial thread post you would see that the last edit is listed with date and the one doing the editing. In this case it was Erik. And, yes, we do have carte blanche on AztecMesa, but we try hard to use that power judiciously. In this case (and another a while back in which I made a similar change), the addition made the SDSU connection more evident. What we would never do is to change the actual wording of a post. Such a practice would be unethical and against the spirit of free exchange of views and ideas which is the guiding principle of AztecMesa. Count this case as another addition to the long list titled "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished!" ;D WLR |

Clueless? Geez, I didn't know that property had been purchased. Thanks for cutting me some slack. Really nice.

Where and Hell would you park and who the hell lives on Campus? I think the parking issue is just a result of us being spoiled by the Qualcomm Stadium situation for so long. I can't speak for every on-campus stadium, but the ones that I've been too are pretty bad (ASU, Notre Dame, and Mizzou). Notre Dame and Mizzou were about the equivalent of parking in the structures on the East side of College Avenue and walking to the site that Robert has depicted. There are closer places to park at these schools, but they come with a price tag that most of us can't afford. I would be far less concerned about parking than I would be about tailgating. With the surrounding area, tailgating would probably be restricted to the biggest donors. |

I remember this. I wonder how those architectural plans looked |

I always said they would regret the day they put Cox in Aztec Bowl. As for Vegas, I am really surprised that the MWC hasn't told them to do it if they want to host the Vegas Bowl in the future. The existng stadium is a toilet and shouldn't be the showplace for the MWC bowl. |

I don't regret SDSU putting the arena in the bowl for even a nanosecond. Playing at the Murph/Q has not held back the football program in ANY WAY CLOSE to hoops having to play at Sports Arena / Peterson Gym...

think it is more important to spend the money upgrading the facilities for the football, basketball teams, or other teams traveling for away games, assistant coaches , head coaches(read the UT Sunday) plus requests from Fisher, Burns, and Brady....to get better recruits, training, keep good coaches, be able to get better teams to come here cost money $$ but draws fans . Most important use the money for recruiting and training
