OT I don't know anything about SD. But it is a bigger problem than that. When I left Dallas in '92, they were building the new stadium for the Texas Rangers. One day we were at the "old" park and decided to go look at the new one under construction. I could not believe the extent of the expansion. I thought, "What a great place this will be." It opened '94, so it has been in use 22 years. The City of Arlington, where the park is located, has been in a bidding war against Dallas for a new stadium -- after 22 years. So, as cities do, Arlington has just agreed to spend a billion dollars to build ANOTHER new stadium -- this time with a roof -- at a cost of a billion dollars. The new stadium will be smaller. Go figure. This is the local government version of the Whip-Saw. They'll keep these tax payers in debt up to their ears from now on.

Right now the city government is obsessed with building a 4th money losing stadium for the Chargers That is completely false. The city government officials are not behind or in favor of the Chargers' proposed downtown stadium anyway. The hoteliers are seeing to that. I would like to see the Wall Street Journal's story on SD's corruption, if it's handy.
