Mark McGwire admitted using drugs but still has a chance for Hall of Fame
Don and ImJustABill, I appreciate the additional insight and respectable response to my comments and questions. My inclusion of SDCC on the issue was only an assumption as I've heard for years that SDCC has swelled beyond what the convention center has to offer. My assumption was that the convadium would allow SDCC to spread out enough and be an answer to that issue as well. With that said, what are the options right now for SDCC and the city of San Diego in meeting the needs of the growing popularity of that event? Has SDCC swelled beyond the reasonable accommodations of the convention center? If so, what can be done to keep the event in San Diego? Does San Diego want to keep the event there or would they let it go if deemed to costly to keep in town? Thanks again!— October 20, 2016 9:18 a.m.
Mark McGwire admitted using drugs but still has a chance for Hall of Fame
Question from an out of towner - What would the effect be on San Diego's economy and national reputation if their professional football team of 55 years leaves town and leaves the city with only one major sport attraction left? What if Comic-Con leaves as well because it has outgrown the convention center? Doesn't this stadium proposal address those issues pretty directly? Maybe I'm mistaken, but I would assume that tourism would suffer if Comic-Con leaves SD and I'm pretty sure there are plenty of intangibles that would suffer negative effects if the Chargers left town as well. As a tourist, I am naive to the day to day issues for the most part, but when I think of a new stadium/convention center extension, I see benefit for tourism with Comic-Con sticking around, I see a breath of fresh air for the city's sports culture which would almost certainly attract a Super Bowl or two like it has for Detroit, Phoenix, Dallas, Indianapolis, New York, and San Francisco. Straighten me out a bit Don! What are the problems I'm missing versus the alternative? I'd like to understand more about why this is bad for the city and less about why it's a corrupt scam to make more money for the rich and crooked. I'm not trying to be abrasive, just trying to understand all the angles. Thanks for the article!— October 19, 2016 1:05 p.m.
