How bad is Qualcomm stadium? I honestly have no idea. Is it a run down mess that is holding back the team or does LA offer the usual NFL owner vanity project that the San Diego local authority just doesn't want to pay for?
Well, Qualcomm is very old. It has none of the "cool" features of a current NFL stadium.
What it does have though is: AWESOME tailgating. Huge parking lots. Tons of sun. Everyone BBQs, brings their RVs, their grills and pretty much hangs out in the parking lot as if it was the beach. Pretty normal for around here. In fact, if you tailgate at a Charger game enough, you will notice you often forget to go inside to the game a time or two. It's that fun.
Which is why I don't get Spanos plan. The Charger fans love their tailgating. Downtown has zero of that.
Qualcomm is old. But, it's better than the Coliseum! ha.
Spanos has no ability to make money here, he needs a stadium he can sell better suites to rich people in. This is about Spanos making money.
NOTHING about the stadium is holding back the team or the fans. It's the owner's greed.
