If you google San Diego Gulls, apparently a junior team (U20) adopted the name back in 2001 to play in the WSHL, and they now have to give up the name  Amazingly, the new AHL team is going to just use their logo. edit: Wow, looking this up on Wikipedia, I have learned the ABA apparently still exists and there's a San Diego basketball team that plays in it. That must be depressing. edit edit: Guys, it only costs 10,000 dollars to buy an ABA team, let's do this, "The Something Awful Forced Memes" editx3: Can this just be the ABA thread now, hot poo poo: quote:Hughes, a former New York City rapper, secured a 10,000-seat arena for his ABA team, the Charlotte Krunk. He booked rap artist Mike Jones for postgame entertainment. He paid for jerseys, basketballs and $30,000 worth of TV commercials. When referees refused to be paid by check, Hughes paid them in cash. pathetic little tramp fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Feb 23, 2015 |

The Glumslinger posted:The LA Times had a little slideshow of the current proposed stadiums, and also included a drawing of a proposed Carson stadium from the 90s: It's too bad the Padres are already a team that is horrible because this is where a team called the Padres should play

Last Week Tonight on Stadiums: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcwJt4bcnXs I pretty much completely agree and have come down on the side of "gently caress the Chargers. You guys suck anyway, have never won a Super Bowl, only been once, and what have you done for us lately? Enjoy Carson. Try not to get stabbed."

japtor posted:Chargers to San Diego: gently caress y'all proposals: At this point, San Diego could literally build a stadium from a wish from a genie, and instantly sell out of season tickets for the next 50 years and the Chargers would still move. That's been their plan from the start and nothing is going to deviate them from it. Literally everything the city does is met with "gently caress this city they're all idiots, gently caress you." from the Chargers side, it's kind of obvious.

Finally found the source of that sweet-rear end spanish-style stadium idea, it was a proposal from 1998 backed by Michael Ovitz called "The Hacienda". Here's another shot of it. This would look beautiful in San Diego, but there's only one hitch: it was actually the first stadium design for Carson.

Chargers have basically no winning moves at this point - I know multiple die-hard fans here who just stopped watching football this year. It'd be one thing if they had had a decent season, but people are pissed off at Spanos, pissed off at the team for being a flaming shitstorm of horrible losers who suck, and pissed off at the city in general for the ridiculous mark-up to watch a team of useless babies flail around in a lovely broken-down stadium. The soul of football is dying a gruesome death in San Diego, and what's the Chargers' solution? Move to Los Angeles. Where basically no one wants them. At this point if they don't move to LA and have to move back to SD, they've damaged their reputation and are hosed. If they do move to LA, even less people will care and they're hosed.

There is no way San Diego gets any kind of deal with the Chargers. They could maybe steal the Jaguars or get an expansion sure, but the Chargers are gone forever.

I would gladly show up at Qualcomm to boo the Chargers endlessly and throw poo poo on the field if they came back. I am not alone in this thinking - the Chargers need to stay gone at this point for their safety. They'll figure out something in LA.

Seriously, does this mean Spanos is going to drag this out even more? I mean he doesn't want to lose the SoCal market exclusivity but that's over now anyway, might as well cut yer fuckin losses son.

So now it's possible Spanos is stuck in SD AND he doesn't get any money? That's pretty cool and good.

The Raiders have started their next round of ransom negotiations already http://www.reviewjournal.com/busine...ery=/A3ZJnXt3fr quote:Mark Davis, owner of the Oakland Raiders, is scheduled to meet with Las Vegas Sands Chairman and CEO Sheldon Adelson on Friday, possibly to discuss stadium details. A potential move by the Raiders to Los Angeles earlier this month was rejected by the NFL. Abboud said Las Vegas Sands has had conversations with officials from other NFL teams as well.

Febreeze posted:I can't believe how badly the Chargers played themselves on this thing. Yeah I once did a logo design for a railroad company in Pennsylvania, I made about 8 really neat logos, in the end he just said "nah copy the Steelers logo to show we ship steel, just don't get me in legal trouble"
