Good Real Estate Oppurtunity
If San Diego agrees to build a new charger stadium in conjunction with the expansion of the convention center, I see a whole revamped barrio logan area. I would even predict a renaming. A I write I have no memory of a City ever renamed.
Re: Good Real Estate Oppurtunity
The Chargers released a conceptual plan Thursday for a 61,500-seat stadium with a retractable roof, an adjoining convention center featuring a rooftop “sky garden,” and a new 2-acre park.
Project architect David Manica stressed that “we have not dropped a spaceship” into what he said is an admittedly tight downtown site,
“We want it to be soft, friendly, of San Diego,” he said. “We want it to feel like a building that has been there for a long time, like a natural evolution of the downtown architecture.”
Manica said he drew his inspiration from San Diego’s mild climate, rugged coastline and sailing culture.
The design for the $1.8 billion project will be shared in meetings Friday with local officials, including members of San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer staff , and the public on Saturday, when the team launches a petition drive for the Nov. 8 election. (Note an earlier version said Faulconer himself would attend the meeting.)
The initiative, which does not cover the design specifically, asks voters to raise the tax on hotel stays from 12.5 percent to 16.5 percent so that a city-controlled entity could sell bonds to finance much of the project cost. The team has said it would provide $650 million, with $300 million coming from the NFL and $350 million from the team, stadium-only sponsorship deals and advance payments from fans.
The new convention facility also would include a 65,000-square-foot ballroom and 80,000 square feet of meeting rooms, plus a 150,000-square-foot rooftop “sky garden” that would feature cabana-style meeting rooms. Meetings, weddings and other events could take place in those spaces. The garden would link directly to the stadium’s concourse level through a large see-through opening that could be closed off to accommodate temporary seating for Super Bowl games.
“It provides an incredible panoramic views of San Diego, Coronado and the Coronado Bridge and creates a one-of-a-kind experience for stadium spectators,” Manica said. “No other stadium has a roof garden at the upper concourse level.
...
San Diego tourism leaders and hoteliers have pressed for years for a contiguous expansion of the city’s bayfront San Diego Convention Center, arguing that meeting planners and conventioneers overwhelmingly favor such an arrangement as opposed to a separate facility blocks away.
“This facility allows you to attract the Final Four, world wrestling, soccer and gives you the flexibility for Comic-Con who may decide they want U2 or the Rolling Stones,” Maas said. “There are a number of expanded convention facilities elsewhere that are disconnected, and the one difference is they don't have our weather.”
