No going back to San Diego with their old stadium now demolished.

I’d say this image perfectly symbolizes the Chargers franchise...

I don't know about sewage, but I believe there was a concern of soil contamination of MTBE from the fuel tank farm a stones throw north of the stadium.

i drove by a few weekends ago, and it still looked like that pic..

Had some good times there for sure (and some bad: Merriman's cheap shot on Holmes stands out).

But that place HAD to be the worst dump of a stadium in the NFL for it's last 5-7 years of existence.

I saw a couple aztecs games and a US soccer match there within the past 3 years, and it was sooooo bad. Had to walk forever to find vendors, and if you wanted a cocktail (not beer), there was only 1 place in the whole stadium serving liquor).

Excited to see something new go in its place.

I know the voters didn’t want a new stadium.

But it feels like a missed opportunity. A new modern, billion dollar stadium in San Diego, with that weather....would seem highly attractive for all kinds of events.

what are the plans? Homes/condo/shopping/amazon fulfillment center?

I would not want to invest in shopping right now.

Maybe they can force them to move to St. Louis.

I want to hate the Chargers, but I’ve never really been given a reason to

I was never a fan of either franchise, but that's not really fair. Cheap Ass Bidwill's Cardinals were putrid, yet he demanded a new stadium. The city basically told him that his shitty team didn't rate one. Instead of improving his team he left, and the Cardinals continued to be shitty in Phoenix.

As far as the Rams are concerned, that **** Kroenke basically bought the team to relocate it. Before that, they were popular locally and successful.

It's not like they ran off two organizations that loved the city.

The land was sold to SDSU, who is building a 35k seat stadium, a 34 acre park, and various school complexes. At one point in time, the stadium was said to be expandable for an NFL team, but not sure if that was the final plan or not.
