People in California seem to be the only ones that actually stick to proclamations of not using public money for stadiums (whereas stadium proposals elsewhere generally get rammed through despite loud objectors).

But that's ok for SDSU football. If both their proposal and the MLS proposal lose at the ballot box, SDSU football wins because the existing stadium isn't torn down and all they have to do is use a little pressure to keep the city from tearing it down. With both proposals on the same ballot, the possible outcomes are:

MLS ballot measure wins, SDSU ballot measure loses -- MLS wins but you'd think this is the least likely outcome.
MLS and SDSU measures both win, MLS gets more votes -- MLS wins, but second least likely outcome.
Both measures win, SDSU measure gets more votes -- SDSU wins.
Both measures lose (maybe the most likely outcome) -- SDSU wins. To me, this looks like the best outcome for SDSU, because the old stadium stays and they won't have to find $250 million to build a football stadium.

They're playing the game correctly, I think. Even if they lose, they're probably still going to win.

I actually think think first scenario is the most likely.
The MLS proposal only needs a simple majority to win since there is no taxpayer money involved. SDSU needing revenue bonds will need 2/3rds majority.
