All of that was applicable to the Dolphins' Hard Rock Stadium, yet they were able to completely overhaul it to modern standards.

SDSU is paying 200mil less for a new state of the art stadium that is right sized, than Miami paid to upgrade their old stadium. The Q was also 20 years older than the stadium in Miami.

I would also assume it's a size issue. There's no need to renovate a 70K seat(I'm guessing what Qualcomm was) stadium when you can build something more suitable to the need.

I'm not familiar with the lay of the land in San Diego, but I've never heard anything other than it being a very nice community. I hope the new site takes advantage of whatever amenities are available.

That and with the Chargers leaving town, I'm hoping SDSU has a golden opportunity to really build a large city-wide fan base.
