“Qualcomm Stadium is tired and ultimately needs to be retired” is how “SoccerCity” front man Nick Stone sized up the former longtime Chargers home last month.
I’d just asked Stone if the SoccerCity plan to develop the Qualcomm Stadium site could preserve or rehab the old sports venue.
SoccerCity plans a soccer-specific stadium, built from scratch and, at 30,000 seats, not even half the capacity of the nearly 51-year-old Goliath in central San Diego.
We who advocated for a Q renovation before Dean Spanos cold-stamped Jan. 12, 2017 onto the San Diego sports psyche have an affinity for the place.
