MLS can use tarps if they don't need the whole capacity to make things seem less cavernous (the Crew once played in 100,000 seat Ohio Stadium, now that's a real cavern). That's also enough size to still host a decent bowl game but I suspect that Vegas, Levi's, and the new LA NFL venue will be higher on the pecking order.

Ideal for the university, but not MLS.

The "Friends" have put Popolus on retainer, but it isn't like there are dozens of stadium architect options. They'll must also get a CA based firm too.

Brass tax is that SDSU started a $500M capital campaign in 2007 and just reached that goal in 2014, but upped it another $250M to just meet that this April. How long will it take them to raise monies for both the land and stadium?

Most of the capital campaign money was through the school's NPR affiliate with athletics only raising half that.

Outside of Papa Doug Manchester, who are their money families?
