2. San Diego: The league doesn't like it because the stadium isn't big enough, and the suites aren't plentiful enough. But the locale and the weather cannot be beat. San Diego has beaches, golf, a downtown nightlife, everything that an ideal Super Bowl site can offer -- except a super stadium.

Stadium?
why not lease the LA coliseum for a couple of years, while they demolish the Q, and build a new one there? it’s kind of far fetched, but thinking outside the box may be what’s needed. besides the downtown area will not accommodate the size needed to get any superbowl here. qualcom is a perfect opportunity for a blank slate it could literally be Qualcom City Stadium. it may lose some parking, but i’d think it would be worth it.
peace out

that was also under a different city attorney, and circumstances. it’s worth revisiting if they “really” want to. ultimately i think they like the allure of a downtown stadium like other cities enjoy. which is really what they wanted.

I think
They like the allure of the dollars and tax breaks already earmarked for downtown development as opposed to the Qualcomm site where they’d have to start from scratch to get funding and any sort of tax breaks.

indeed
plus, since this will eventually go to a vote, the proposal needs to capture the imagination. I think Downtown does that better than Mission Valley.
