As far as Qualcomm goes yeah it's a POS down in a valley prone to flooding. The way I see the problem of getting a new stadium has more to do with the way the city alone would finance their portion of the stadium. IMHO the team and the stadium is beneficial to the whole county and I believe that if the whole county were involved the deal would get done.

The flooding doesn't happen that often. I can remember 1 time in the last 10 years that happened. They are surrounded by mountains and hills. A lot of water runs off into mission valley. Which has a small river (in mission valley). Sometimes it overflows. It is low ground. Probably too low. It was built a long time ago. But you guys are probably overrating how bad it is. It's not a great stadium. But not as bad as you guys are making it out to be.
