Chargers looking for as much as $700 million in public money for new stadium

A few bucks to Filner could go a long way...

Every broke government entity is dropping stupid money all over the place. The Feds spent money with a research group that put a shrimp on a damn treadmill. Sure there was a slightly bigger picture in the resaerch, but one damn cent towards that silliness is too damn much.

Naming rights should fetch a few mill...

i'm for public contributions and a new stadium, but on the other side i wonder why the chargers don't just take out a loan like a normal business and rent out the stadium for other uses? in the nfl, they will make this money back, and if they own the stadium, they will rake in all kinds of dough.

[Mister Hoarse]

Its a solid idea, but when politicians are willing to sell out their communities to fund Corporate welfare, the NFL would be stupid not to rob us all blind.

[pumpkinhead80]

ya i know why they do it, but if they were to take the risk it could be exponentially more profitable for them.

[pumpkinhead80]

but they're probably not allow to put the teams up as leverage to the banks, that could be the problem.

AEG actually makes more money when they don't have sports tenants.
