Let's see if San Diego votes on Tuesday for redeveloping the waterfront. It includes a variety of proposed uses, including a new sports arena. The San Jose Mercury News reported that developer Frank Gallagher proposed a basketball arena with a retractable roof.
The complex would be built on a massive deck on the waterfront where there is currently a commercial port. A replacement for the Chargers stadium could be part of it.
A tough sell.
B2, or not B2, that was the Pier 46 question. The answer in Seattle was no.

Nice. I checked this out as well. Almost everyone in the city and county government including the Port of San Diego has come out against this proposal. But stranger things have happened. I sent this in as link in SC about San Diego possibly stepping up to the plate awhile back. It's reminisent of the Nitze-Stagen plan for Pier 46, which was an incredible plan and should've been put into action.
Why the city whiffed on this I'll never know.....
