Leaving SD was one of the best things I ever did for myself. Having lived in both, gently caress the cold, I'll live in a place I actually enjoy living.

There is no way even half of that parking lot survives. I don't know if it's the biggest parking lot directly orbiting an NFL stadium right now, but it's right up there with KC

Its Miller Time posted:I don't understand how Phil would rather move his kids across the country to Tennessee than maybe moving them an hour, hour and a half north to Orange County. If he cared that much he should just Kobe helicopter it, I'm not even sure if it'd be smart or necessary to move. Nashville is like two hours away from where he and his wife grew up. He'd love to be back in the South.

Volkerball posted:What's to stop him from just retiring if he doesn't want to move from San Diego? Dude's no spring chicken, and he probably could have gotten by perfectly happy on 25k a year. Absolutely nothing. Here are the possibilities I see: IF the Chargers announce that they're moving: 1. Rivers plays out the final year of his deal in San Diego. If the team slaps the franchise tag on him (They will), he'll retire. Dude doesn't need the money. IF the Chargers announce that they're staying beyond 2016: 1. Rivers will sign a long term deal and retire a Charger. 2. Rivers will play under a series of one year deals facilitated by the franchise tag as long as the team remains in San Diego.

Kalli posted:That's how I feel about it. I don't trust any loving story that comes out of nowhere a few weeks before the draft, and giving up on a middle aged great QB is just insanity. It came from Rivers saying he didn't want to sign an extension right now, and it morphed into something else. The Chargers aren't going to let him go, and will franchise him next year if need be. For comparison sake, Eli doesn't have a contract after this season either and there are crickets concerning his future in New York

I've been hearing all over local radio and such that San Diego State is already working behind the scenes to partner with an MLS team to build a 30-35k seat stadium on the SDSU campus in the event that the Chargers leave. That's certainly a thing.

DreamtShadow posted:Besides the second team keeping their own and luxury box revenue, what else would be split? Kroenke owns the stadium so he would get the money from naming rights and theoretically the other team would be leasing the use from the Rams. This is why I can't see the Chargers moving in to be Stan Kroenke's Tennant.

So next Wednesday, the CSAG (Citizen Stadium Advisory Group) plans to release their financing plan to both the mayor and the Chargers, a plan they've been working on for the last several months. Bits and pieces of it are starting to leak out: -The plan is supposedly for a 1.3 Billion dollar facility on the Mission Valley site. -The Chargers and NFL will each contribute $250 Million (They've both already publicized this) -Both the city of San Diego and County of San Diego will contribute $120 Million each -Development of the surrounding area (ala the Petco Park method) will pay for the rest of the stadium as well as pay the city and county back.
