@@ShellymanStudios Well, San Diego did had an AAF team before that league was folded, due to some financial problems, but it did had a strong fan base.
35,000 seats is kinda lame tbh. 55,000 woulda been legit. Opens the doors for International soccer games and big concerts, etc. 35,000 just makes it seem like the Q was demolished for no reason
Absolutely! The Pac 12 needs 2 new teams to stay at 12. I would go San Diego State (So Cal Market, great weather, new stadium). And how about UNLV? OK, not a great football program. But a Vegas has the big new stadium, basically is the "So Cal" Market also. And once part of the Pac 12..probably get some more recruits.
I couldn't believe last summer when I drove down 805 S to 8 E heading toward SDSU and didn't see Qualcomm Stadium in view. I was saddened to my core. I could even see it outside of my dorm bathroom in Chapultepec every day. It's not necessarily Qualcomm that I need, but I'd like to see a behemoth off the freeway still. Given that this is slightly further north and will be barricaded by some buildings, I don't know if that'll be the case anymore. Plus, in its current state this stadium feels very uninspired. Maybe I'll feel differently when I see a packed game there at night. Lots of confusing decisions made with this one though, and it just all but solidifies the departure of the Chargers from San Diego.
It reminds me of a minor league baseball stadium meets MLS stadium. I would have no idea this is a division 1 ncaa football stadium but times are changing. The guy is right about the chair back seats.
everything being chariback is why the capacity is that small.. I remember watching the stadiums in Italy drastically reduce in size back in 1990 as all the tiered benches were replaced wiht numbered seating. Naples went from a high around 88k to 69 or so, and then a decade or two later lost the uppermost tier to seismic restrictions.. It is now below 60K So sad.
SDSU has an opportunity to be the main game in town as a university. Chargers are gone and no NBA team neither. Nice little stadium that can most likely expand if the ticket sales call for it. As for the chairback.. that is the way to go.. long gone are the days where people will just jam themselves up on bleachers just to root for their college. Students and general fans require more now days. Just one note, more and more college stadiums are going the chair-back way. I know for a fact the the University of Louisville has an on-campus stadium that sits over 60k and all are chair-back seats. Just fyi...
I find it incomprehensible that a city in the top 10 of the US cannot seem to hold onto it's pro franchises. Of course I'm so old I remember the COnquistafores from the ABA LOL
@@ZakhadWOW It's called Greed. 2 NFL teams left LA, 2 NBA teams came to SD (one was straight traded between owners) the second moved. Seattle has had teams leave. St. Louis has had 3 teams leave. It's not all that uncommon in American sports unfortunately.
@@_Jake.From.Statefarm_ it is actually uncommon considering the number of sports/leagues and sheer number of teams over the last century. However, owner greed isnt the only factor. It does appear to those of us not local to the area, that for whatever reason the politicians and/or voters of greater San Diego havent had the will to make the hard choices to keep them there. Perhaps it woullnt have been worth it in the long run, but the voters/politicians dont have much defense when it comes to the unwillingness to replace an extremely old Jack Murphy/Qualcomm stadium.. I mean, they had to know it would need to be done. Now the TRULY terrible examples are when the Colts left Baltimore in the middle of the night so that no one would really know what was up, and then of course the original browns bailing for Baltimore (ironically).
@@ZakhadWOW While I'm totally aware of how hard it has been to get things done over the years in terms of large sports projects. The truth is, we have gotten the ones done that we wanted to get done. With the exception of the Chargers. That was mostly their decision. They blamed a lot of that on the city. They purposely put out measures that they knew wouldn't pass. They were offered the Qualcomm site. They wanted downtown, which would have taken years to restructure the MTS station, parking, etc, etc. The worst part was they had the opportunity to build when Petco was voted on. They chose to renovate Jack Murphy with the hopes it would last longer and they'd get a more modern stadium in it's place down the road. Well, then good ole Dean took over.. His father had vision. His son, did not. He didn't even to make a single decision in his life until he took the team over. He said as much in his book. Since that move. The Chargers still haven't built a stadium, they are renting. SDSU won the bid for the new stadium (over soccercity which would have brought an MLS team, however that apparently is still in the works as Garber is very interested in SD for obvious reasons) We've gotten Wave and Loyal. Granted they aren't an NFL team but if you get an MLS team you have now 3 major league teams and SDSU should be pushing for a major conference. Which is good in terms of football. They got it done with their basketball area as well. Now, you have a redevelopment of the Sports Arena which currently houses Gulls and Soccers but with a newly built area you can push in the coming years for NBA and NHL expansions. Remember when the NBA left San Diego, the NBA was in the shitter. Playoff games were taped and reran after TV shows.. So if you throw out the NFL (which like I said, just moved 4 teams in the last 10 years) which is absolute asinine. You could potentially end up with MLB,MLS, NBA, NHL, NWSL, USL, Big5... (even if you take one or 2 of those away like NHL and keep minor league that is much better than just having an NFL team with a shitty owner who isn't dedicated to his city) So I'd say, the city has came through, though be it takes a long time and probably selling body parts, but none the less. When needed. The CHARGERS specifically, that was on THEM! They had every opportunity to fork up the cash, build, and stay. They chose a bigger market, to rent, and likely sell the team and walk away filthy rich.
I see the issues SD folks have with this stadium, but the University of Hawaii would kill to have something like this. We presently have a glorified high school field.
@Hitting Friars23 compare this little stadium to LSU’s stadium. They’re both college football stadiums. This is basically some high school bleachers compared to other college stadiums.
Raiders fan here from Oakland….. I’m confused why the Chargers couldn’t play here though smh 🤦🏾♂️ my city lost 3 teams so I feel for y’all even though Chargers our rivals
THE SNAPDRAGON STADIUM IS GREAT FOR COLLEGE FOOTBALL. WE DO NEED TO KEEP THE NFL OUT OF THIS STADIUM, SAN DIEGO IS A COLLEGE TOWN NO MORE NFL IN SAN DIEGO.
People complaining already and haven’t even seen a real game there yet. Smh I think that once there’s a game there in a packed house it’s going to be amazing. The people will make it what it is.
I wonder if season ticket holders will be about field level seems like they did back in the 70s and early 80s when Don Coryell ruled supreme. But I doubt it. Students get in free and a ticket season holder has to pay wonderful
I paid my $1200 ‘Excellence Fee’ along with my season tickets and I was happy to do it, even though I had to stretch a little financially. Helping students get excited about their University and to go on to do better in life is NOT a bad thing. When I was there in the 1980s, students could get into ALL sporting events free with their students ID. I see it as helping to pay it forward for this generation of students: hopefully, they will do the same when they are out in the world.
Nobody cares bro. Did you really expect an NFL sized venue for College Football? 🤣 It suits the Aztecs just fine. Plus San Diego didn't pay for any of it, SDSU did.
Stadium looks awesome. I think 35K is a little small so wonder if expandable if they get a BIG12 invite. Cool name. UH has a 40K. Eventually, programs like UH and SDSU need to support 45-50k range to be in a solid middle class brand range. But better to have a sold out stadium so size should not outstrip level of support.
This is a BAD DESIGN STADIUM….no ROOF, this is absurd, its VERY HOT IN SUNNY SAN DIEGO. You got no shade, WTF. Whoever approved this design was a total nincompoop👎👎👎 What happened to money allotted for the Roof… Oh Snap, it went to someones pocket.
Should have used that land for affordable housing. Made the Aztecs play in Santee. And SD should do whatever it takes to bring an NBA team (expansion) to SD…maybe sports arena?
From your statement it is obvious you have never been to the nasty old cesspool Sports Arena. It look the same as it did in the 70's. Smells the same too. That's a factor in why teams we had left. Certainly no professional basketball team would play here in this outdated monstrosity
There’s already a sports arena under construction in San Diego. Front Wave Arena is being built in Oceanside for an indoor soccer team and second home of the AHL San Diego Gulls. If San Diego did ever build an arena I doubt the NBA would have an expansion team team here. The city already lost the Clippers to LA & the Rockets to Houston. There are more chances of having an MLS team rather than NBA since there’s no huge market in San Diego sports for an NBA team. Southern California already has two NBA teams in LA (which LA is a huge market when it comes to sports).
Dean Spanos: Now why couldn't we get a new stadium like that when we were still in San Diego, huh HUH? Native San Diegans: because shut up. We don't like you🖕 In all seriousness it'd be cool if they put the statue of Jack Murphey back Infront of the entrance of this new stadium to commemorate 50+ years of the Q.
Hi SD Rob, not sure what your comment is regarding other than why there's so much space. Is this correct? If I am interpreting your response, SDSU needed to get the stadium dome as quickly as possible to get ready for the first scrimmage tomorrow then next week is the first home game. Now that the stadium is up and running they construction on the rest of the projects will begin. The classroom buildings and housing, other sports fields and commercial businesses are set to be on the property, according to the master plan that was presented before The Murph came down. Now the boys have a place to play thier ball game and the school can begin setting and scheduling concerts for the venue. Any idea what's going to happen with the old field where they use to play?
Well well well looks like the politicians and lobbyists got their way with this joke of a stadium.. its a crying shame the city is still paying for a stadium that is torn down and we lost our beloved Chargers for this joke.. 😢
It is not a city stadium. It's a university stadium. SDSU averaged just under 30,000 people in home attendance (in San Diego), so the stadium is perfect for the school size. It's the average size for the Mountain West Conference schools.
Yeah this building is gonna suck .. it looks very cheap! Lack of tech! It new and it looks old already! 0 decorations! They need more glass! More land escape and palm trees and entertainment sections! More screens! More lights and colors! It’s so plain!!! Fence rails from Home Depot? Really bro? And those seats mannnn ..
wow.. just wow. THat apparent politician at the start of the video form the stadium looked like Gilbert Gottfreid, and sounded HORRIFICALLY like DOnald Trump I got some actual PTSD stabs there LOLOL.
Jacksonville is inbred. Carolina is so pathetic they needed to name the team after the state. The chargers wanted a billion dollars in taxpayer money for their little happy time stadium. You need to learn how to prioritize, boy.
@@adamgalliath1692 I almost wish they had just so I could laugh at you while you complained about “duh taxes” five years and no super bowls after the stadium was completed. Publicly funded stadiums are pure idiocy. San Diego was smart.
The Chargers got fucked over by SD politicians, and they are in LA for good. Whoever Spanos selling his team to will keep the team in LA. San Diego had its chances but politicians and voters said no to the Downtown Stadium proposal and would've said no to their other proposal. They wanted SDSU and the Padres. Kroenke wanted the Chargers into SoFi Stadium because he didn't want the Raiders there.
I hope this stadium will draw a new MLS team to San Diego.
Yes. much needed
Mls should have a team in San Diego, it would automatically be the second biggest team in the city,,behind the padres,

wow.. just wow. THat apparent politician at the start of the video form the stadium looked like Gilbert Gottfreid, and sounded HORRIFICALLY like DOnald Trump I got some actual PTSD stabs there LOLOL.
One big eye sore.
That land should of been leased.
Bet your fun at parties...
Meanwhile a 100 yards away in the river hundreds of homeless people live under tarps.
What a waste of money and prime real estate.
So invite them to your place
Build a shelter then, sport. Or kindly cut your typing fingers off.
@@isaiasatitegustaelwinnie666 Let them live on the field. It's not like they won't take it over anyways. You can't stop the meth zombies.
Horrible name
You Forgot To Mention SAN DIEGO LEGION….. no one Cares about soccer 🙄
Jacksonville and Carolina have NFL teams🤦 meanwhile we get a gay soccer stadium.
Jacksonville is inbred. Carolina is so pathetic they needed to name the team after the state. The chargers wanted a billion dollars in taxpayer money for their little happy time stadium. You need to learn how to prioritize, boy.
People should have voted for the chargers stadium when it was on the ballot.
@@adamgalliath1692 I almost wish they had just so I could laugh at you while you complained about “duh taxes” five years and no super bowls after the stadium was completed. Publicly funded stadiums are pure idiocy. San Diego was smart.
Parking is horrendous. Egress is concerning when it comes to safety. More exits needs to be accessible. Never coming back to this stadium.
There no shade in that stadium at all
Great now the Chargers can move back once that 🤡 owner sells 🙏🏽
The Chargers got fucked over by SD politicians, and they are in LA for good. Whoever Spanos selling his team to will keep the team in LA. San Diego had its chances but politicians and voters said no to the Downtown Stadium proposal and would've said no to their other proposal. They wanted SDSU and the Padres. Kroenke wanted the Chargers into SoFi Stadium because he didn't want the Raiders there.
