SDSU fans, 

 

If you've already addressed this, my apologies. But we you guys on 9/18/21, where are we playing?

At the stadium on the campus of Cal State Dominguez Hills in Carson which the LA Galaxy calls home and in which the Chargers played for a couple years. It's a great little venue but in a lousy part of town.

Although it is right off the freeway. Lovely view of the oil refineries. It is a really nice venue though. I’ve seen quite a few soccer games there.

Rumors of MLS at Aztec stadium are heating up. SDSU wouldn't do this if it meant potential revenues would go down.... This stadium is going to push athletic department revenue to the top of the G5.

Just pointing out that ancillary revenues for this stadium are going to be much higher than other college venues. 

Not disputing what you're saying, but why exactly?

It's the only soccer/football venue in a large market which means it's going to be operating at a much greater pace than other college venues. An MLS team is 17 dates, for example. Add in other soccer games (Xolos, US national teams), and other sports such as Rugby 7's, perhaps an XFL team, a couple bowl games, more concerts than would be held in other MWC venues, etc...

been saying this for some time. I had pegged incremental revenue from the stadium at $20mm per year assuming no soccer rental revenue.  We are looking at an additional $7-10mm from MLS from rental, concessions, parking, signage, and ancillary revenue. SDSU athletic department revenue will be above Wazzu and Oregon state even though we get almost nothing from the MW media deal. Our revenue will dwarf everyone else in the MW.

Doesn't UCincy host Cincinnati's MLS squad?  I know they used to.  May be able to extrapolate figures from that, if available

They did, but now that MLS team is moving on to its own stadium. Also, there's the Cincinnati Bengals stadium in town.

From the article:

San Diego's expansion hopes were thought to be dead in 2018 after a stadium referendum backed by FS Investors was defeated in favor of a competing project supported by San Diego State University. As it stands, the lack of a potential owner would appear to be a major impediment to reviving any kind of expansion bid. But a source with knowledge of the situation said initial discussions have taken place between MLS and SDSU regarding the framework of a deal that would see an MLS expansion team play in 35,000-seat Aztec Stadium, which is projected to open in September 2022.

While MLS is reluctant to get into a situation in which one of its team would be a tenant in someone else's stadium, the source floated the possibility of an expansion team being a part-owner of the stadium, or at least having a guarantee that all MLS-related revenues would flow to the team.

An MLS squad would be a way to off load some of the MASSIVE DEBT the university (cough....cough... California Taxpayer).... has taken on.    It wouldn't be an ongoing revenue stream.  Additionally, there's this little building a few miles away, situated very nicely in one of the more vibrant downtown entertainment districts in America, surrounded by desirable amenities, with 10,000 more seats called Petco Park that SDSU will be in direct competition with for booking the very few large outdoor events that occur every so often.  Qualcomm hosted a grand total of 21 concerts in its 50+ years of existence.  If you get half, that will be a concert roughly twice/decade.

This has always been true; FOOTBALL STADIUMS ARE TERRIBLE INVESTMENTS!

That's why all but the most successful NFL franchises extort tax payer money in order to get them built.  If the NFL can't make money  from a stadium without subsidies, neither can the Aztecs.

JFC on a Pogo stick you people  are deluded. You won.  SDSU gets a new stadium. Just come to grips with the fact that attending games just got a shit load more expensive and the athletic department is  now swimming in debt and will swim in debt for a very long time  unless you can find a co-owner.

Seems like I remember something about plan for SDSU and the MLS  to share a stadium once upon a time.....

There is so much stupidity and ignorance in this post I honestly don’t know where to start nor do I have the time to dissect it all and tell you how wrong you are on everything you posited.
