I'd like to be able to sit here and say I won't root for them, but I don't think I'll be able to hold out hating them for long once they get up here Probably easier since they didn't have a long established history in LA and we're Oakland's team anyway

Now the mayor is talking about the Chargers abandoning generations of Chargers fans. As if the team should just sit back and wait for another failed proposal.

That one season thst the Chargers played in LA in 1960 formed some strong bonds and a loyal fan base up there, I agree

Athanatos posted:It loving sucks and is terrible and the stadium sharing is just an extra lovely topping, I'm sorry if I implied it any other way. San Diegans also have an extreme inferiority complex when it comes to LA. It's not just sports, but I'd say that rooting against the Dodgers and Raiders when they were in LA, and losing the Clippers to LA plays a part.

Volkerball posted:I would definitely prefer that over sharing a stadium. Especially since I'm pretty sure the A's already have their situation figured out, so if Oakland caved, it would just be for the Raiders, and could be all personalized and decked out in silver and black like the niners new stadium. I think that might be the reason that the situation in Oakland is impossible. They can't build two stadiums at once.

He's too busy trying to right the mayor's office after the who Filner debacle to deal with this. I have no idea why it needs to be a city vote. It should be a county vote.

TyrionBecomesASlave posted:how is this even possible? the steelers and pirates built new stadiums concurrently with 100,000 less people living in the city. it pissed people off, but PNC Park is the most beautiful baseball stadium in the country. Heinz Field is nothing special, but it was designed to be fast-track built in 18 months You can't build a tree house in California without years of red tape. Oakland in particular is insanely difficult

I think the Rams stadium is going to get built, the Carson thing will fall through. The Spanoses and Chargers aren't interested in being tenants in the Rams' stadium, Mark Davis doesn't give a poo poo. The Raiders and Rams will be in Inglewood, the Chargers will rot in Qualcomm.

The San Diego stadium advisory group has narrowed their efforts to focus on the Qualcomm site rather than downtown. A funding plan will be put together by late May. The Chargers representative in attendance at the announcement of this today? Shawne Merriman. Still love you, Lights Out.

In what universe is San Diego dry and hot? I mean, sure, you might need to use the air conditioner for two weeks out of the year, but that's not a hot climate. It's pleasant for like 350 days a year. Compared to Los Angeles which is an arid desert. Climate chat
