Dear Mr Spanos- Inspired by Citizens Advisory Group - New Stadium Council..
I am a blog writer based in San Diego,. I wasn't born or raised in San Diego. I was a traveling man because of my fathers service in the US NAVY.
But , I have adopted the culture and love for the Chargers , Padres, Aztecs. and the great beaches , parks and scenic sites of San Diego.
The fans have been loyal and patient, and We all understand the NFL is a business, but we also know, in today's tough times for consumers love and money, its a tough sell. The fans have spoken , they love the chargers and willing to do wants needed.
Now my plan..
Build it where it stands.. I know its not a sexy pick.. I mean downtown,has the scenic spots and night life,, But Mission Valley is not that far away..
Now Make the Q - a happening spot.
how?
Have the parking lot a happening experience. During game day you can have the parking lot surrounded by local sites and scenes.. For example,, In Pacific beach,, they have a surfer teaching set up where people can learn to surf in a surfing machine,,, IN another part of the parking set aside a tail gate section.. and if possible charge a seasonal fee for groups to reserve the spot.. Make sure it has all the outlets for electrical set ups.. barbecue area.. and restroom areas... Next have a bus that makes stops to all the cool spots , like gas lamp , Coronado beach, Torrey pines, la jolla.. these could be a game day or weekend set up or a daily run,,, it could bring people to the sites and to the Q..
On non game days '' you can set up a drag strip - for muscle car guys and gals that want to see how fast they can go? Like a timed drag race deal..
same with motorcycle's,, or even bike riders,, why ? People are curious in how fast their cars or bikes are?/
In addition you can have a NFL experience set up on game day or any other day where people could run through a obstacle course , or kick field goals or throw passes,, Sounds good right?
On the inside,, set aside one level for shopping -- like a Walmart , or Costco ,something that would bring fans in.. Perhaps a NFL SHOP,,, etc,,,
On another level.. Set aside for food spot.. healthy.. fast and fine dining..
On another level is workout area,, like a 24 hour fitness center , with dance classes or martial arts,, and of course GNC shop for healthy supplements,,,,,
on the same level or different a movie theatre.. and or a school like National U or University of Phoenix,, to set up some classes and of course exposure for their service..
You can have a information area - where fans and people and look and make reservations for the sites and areas around San Diego , like the World famous Zoo, Sea world, Wild Animal Park, Balboa Park, The hotels,, around the airport , seaport Village ,, Museums,, Coronado Beach,, La Jolla Shores , Lego land.. Exposure and awareness will create business, In today's world a one stop shopping experience is what people want.. Make the Q - the place to get all the info you need to see San Diego..
You can open up the field one day or more where fans can check out the field, take pictures,, run the field,, Why,, ? Too create an attachment and build up the fans for the future... Its simple build loyalty, you are building an empire,,
In other words,, Make the Q - not only a Saturday or Sunday place to visit,, truly make it a daily functional place to be.. It would be great for the New Q and make Mission Valley a more happening place to be,, In other words.. Make the Q - the Source for your shopping - work out and hang out area.. I know it may sound too much. But this a great fun and sun city,, We are not Dallas , or San Francisco.. for better or worse.. WE are a different sell.. We have to sell what San Diego has,, the great weather , the sun.. and the diversity..
I hope my suggestions are taken into consideration and if you use some or now or what, atleast , I have started a brain storming idea , that will make this project happen.
Another suggestion it to have a hotel ,, built near or around the Q-- Perhaps a innovative one that could surround the Q - and having a walking bridge connecting the Hotel to stadium for players and coaches,, What better way to have teams stay near the stadium.. I think the players and coaches would think that's cool. They could work out,, walk over to bridge and then rest and go party In the Valley or the gas lamp./. Sounds great right.. If anything.. I'm trying to create a practical place for the the NFL and visiting teams... This project needs to be innovative . Use the resources that San Diego has to offer..
The resources( Money $$) can come from: Naming rights- fees from The Q or have a smaller scale tc monitor sponsored by Verizon or any other company that would love the advertisement they get when announcer say,, check out the replay on Verizon's big screen TV.. in beautiful Qualcolmm stadium San Diego.. It can happen.. That's how Jerry's world did it in Dallas.. Ts possible and it makes sense.. Business makes business and collaboration of all these business ventures will only enhance one another.. Just something to brain storm and use..
Charge fees for all the business to place their companies on and around the stadium.. Even a cool hotel like the Marriott could have their name,, placed all over the place ,, when announcers say,, and surrounding the Q is the state of the Art Marriott where players , coaches and fans can stay !!
All of these things can create that experience San Diego needs and can make it happen.. Share what the city has to offer,,
By making the Q , a happening place.. People will come.. and when people go to places they spend money,,,
Lastly,, The Q - has the least resistance.. compared to downtown... Like i Said it might NOT be the sexy downtown pick,, but why not make the Q - the Sexy place to be , by placing these cool ideas,, Just something to think about.. The fans are excited about this team., and the sooner the better this project completed... and lets get this deal done! I sincerely hope.. The San Diego Council and Mayor of San Diego as well as you sir,, can come to a agreement and make this happen not only for your financial success but the future of San Diego, Imagine,, SUPER BOWL WEEK, PRO BOWLS. COLLEGE BOWLS,, OLYMPICS ? CONVENTIONS, CONCERTS, OFF ROAD EVENTS,, ETC.. all of this can only create a financial gold mine for you and the city.. Have a great day and Lets make San Diego truly America's Finest City!
Sincerely ,
Mel Paras aka "The Source . a blog writer based in San Diego Ca !!
