SDSU ready to take over Qualcomm if Chargers bolt

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A proposed expansion of San Diego State University onto the current Qualcomm Stadium site ``could alter the trajectory of (the
school's) history for the next several decades,'' SDSU President Elliot Hirshman said Tuesday.

Hirshman issued his first public comments on expansion at the same time that representatives of a developer held a town hall meeting about their vision for the 166-acre property in Mission Valley.

The officials with JMI Realty, Cisterra Development and others outlined a plan that includes research facilities that could be used by SDSU, UC San Diego and private entities; student and faculty housing for the two schools; a stadium for football and professional soccer; and 67 acres of open space along the San Diego River.
