Way OT:Aztec Football

[temeculaguy]

On a side note, I went to the charger/raider game on sunday. San diego deserves to lose the chargers. The stadium isn’t the problem, the cheapo city is the problem. Not one guy directing traffic on friars road, took 90 minutes to go 2 miles, you had to park miles away and walk, no shuttles, no signs, nothing. Then, after walking 2 miles, the parking lot that was closed because it was full was half empty. Why? because most of the knuckleheads in the parking lot didn’t have tickets, they just bought a parking spot to drink and left when the game started. 70k seats, 18k parking spots, nice plan. Every parolee in the county was there and they weren’t all raider fans. Total cost for two people, $300, nice game but nothing else nice to say about it and I’m an optimist. Staples, dodger stadium, angels stadium, all great venues and well run, qualcom makes the old forum in inglewood look fantastic. It pains me to say it but Los angeles runs it’s sports venues so much better than SD, how is that possible, everything about LA sucks compared to SD but SD cannot seem to figure it out. I’ll let you know how my experience differs when I attend my first City of Industry Chargers game. I hate to sound grumpy, but I’m done taking crap for my town from SD, the Temecula Baloon and wine festival has more staff and is better organized than a charger game, it’s mind boggling.

TG: you have to take public transit on sold out games for the Bolts. You cannot drive to the Q unless it is 4 hours early. It is one of the last places to tailgate. I agree with you that more should be done as far as directing traffic but the trolley is the way in and out. If/when the city of industry gets the Bolts will they have transit??? probably not so expect delays driving in there.

You are right on the traffic issue. The stadium was built in 1967 and they still can’t get it right. The trolley helps but not everybody can take the trolley and then wait an hour or so to get on it after the game. The stadium is old and the Chargers deserve better. As far as the Aztecs, I actually played for U.O.P., (when they had a team)and we played the Aztecs in 1978, it was a big deal and the stadium was nearly full. This weekend I plan on showing up a hour before the game, buying a cheap ticket and moving to the good seats. Can you imagine bringing recruits to a game and the stadium empty? That is probably the reason they can’t get top notch recruits.

Desmond: I remember watching Aztecs games, back in the Marshall Faulk, Darnay Scott days and the place was packed. Those were the “Wacky WAC” days, when offense ruled and the games were an absolute blast to watch.

Now, its a ghost town. I took my youth football team to an Aztecs game a couple of years back and it was a ghost town then, too. We went to a USD game (back when Harbaugh was still there) and it was more crowded than the SDSU game.

I cannot imagine why this school has such a hard time finding recruits: Its in San Diego, for God’s sake! Pat Hill up at Fresno State has a monster recruiting program for a school that is in FRESNO. Friggin’ Fresno!
