Investment group proposes massive MLS soccer stadium in Chula Vista

Developers say it would be the nation’s largest soccer stadium and would put San Diego on the world stage.

Am I the only one that saw the " E sports entertainment" on top left, This can be great for our competitive youth in soccer and gaming that don't have much since alot of this stuff is around or more north of San Diego. Hoping for the best 👌🏼

Great idea MLS coming in then having their own stadium that will be epic good for San Diego

I just hope they leave the salt flats alone.

Construct it for CF San Diego & share it with the women's Wave FC.

Now if Phoenix, Ariz. had a club too it would be an automatic rivalry with SD!

That will be cool but traffic will be bad 🙈

I am for creating jobs and financial opportunities for my fellow San Diegans. However...there is almost no coastal open space left. Add that it's in the bay and now even more rare. Having an area for spawning helps provide fish that we sport fish daily.
They should use some engineering skills and make that part a real estuary type of environment

Would be good if the nba expanded to sd

Sounds like they want an nfl team also.

MLS belongs in Snapdragon stadium, which is central to all San Diego. Who wants to drive all the way to Chula Vista? Snapdragon was built as a state of the art stadium and specifically designed for professional soccer. Chula Vista makes no sense.

Not sure about the location with it being on the narrow bit of land between the south bay water and the 5 freeway...

How do they plan to make the whole development accessible to people other than motorists? Is it close enough to residential neighborhoods for people to walk there? Is it close to a trolley or major bus stop, and will people be able to safely and conveniently get there while crossing one of the freeway underpasses? People drive pretty reckless over there. And is all the exposure to freeway noise and pollution worth it? If the design implies most people will get there by car (whether driving and parking there or getting dropped off), how will it handle traffic during major events?

I don’t know why they have to mention diversity culture. Ppl are tire of wokeness and political correctness

I hate this city. Let the football team leave and build a garbage soccer complex. Literally the most boring sport in the world
