I have so many wonderful memories of watching the Sockers, Gulls, and Riptide at Pechanga Arena. I even volunteered at a Japan Fest there in 2005.

I'm still sad the Chargers moved to LA! The great Charger fans got screwed and deserve so much better! I do hope San Diego gets a new NBA and or a NHL team because they are great fans of sports!

It’s still bullshit the chargers left Diego. La is a rams town.

These renderings were originally for the GULLS since their current arena is beyond old. Before I left San Diego (2018) these were introduced.

I remember when the NBA Clippers were in San Diego before relocating to Los Angeles.

3:06 The renderings actually have some AHL action on the video board - the San Diego Gulls. The arena would primarily be for them, concerts, and other events.

Its a new arena for the Ducks minor league team "San Diego Gulls" to replace the very old San Diego Sports arena.

San Diego would embrace a new team after losing the Chargers, would love to see it.

I'd like to see the NBA go back to San Diego, but having lost both the Rockets and the Clippers the NHL may be a more realistic goal. Although to be fair the whole deal with the Clippers was all about Donald Sterling wanting the Clippers in LA, didn't matter the support they had in SD, had he not owned them I think they may have stayed and possibly got a new arena by the mid to late 90s.

NBA coming to San Diego would be electric since the Chargers left town.

Both Expansionteamsfor NBA and NHL would be awesome. I prefer COYOTES relocating to SLC and rebrand as the UTAH SWARM. The DUCKS can relocate toSD and Gulls can relocate to ANAHEIM.

Vegas and Seattle, maybe 2 reactions, San Diego and another

San Diego Legion are so much fun to watch. Rugby is an amazing sport. Players are so humble. No pads. No helmets. No time outs. No commercials. Raw collision sport. Love Major League Rugby

USF is probably in the top 20 as far as enrollment,not as much as UCF or FIU,other Florida universities in the top 10 with enrollment over 50K but USF is still a major university.The thing about these schools are that they're mostly commuter schools that are never going to draw like major college towns.

Like to see Houston and this one, San Diego to add the NHL teams to add up to 12 NHL teams in the south and southwest with little or no winter. Florida Panthers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Carolina Hurricanes, Dallas Stars, Las Vegas Golden Knights, Arizona Coyotes (now Utah), Los Angeles Kings, Los Angeles Ducks, San Jose Sharks, and Nashville Predators.

San Diego need a NFL team again

San Diego should have never lost the Chargers. The fans supported that team and the NFL ripped them out of there. They did have a NBA at one time in the Clippers and that didn't work out. They even had a WHA team in the Mariners. But I would love to see San Diego get a NHL team as they only have one pro team now. And it would be great to have a 4th California team in the league. Right away they would have 3 great rivals. 4 if you count Seattle.

The Sports Arena needs a rebuild..

I don't think they are seriously expecting San Diego to get an NHL or NBA team. But I do hope the arena is capable of accommodating such a team, since you never know when a team will be looking to relocate. Having a suitable arena in place is a huge advantage in attracting a team desperate to relocate.

Affordable housing??? Ya right lol

Affordable housing in California?

A relocation NHL or NBA franchise will occupy this arena.

If San Diego were to get an NBA or NHL team, I hope they'd name it the Anchormen.

San Diego 💪🏽

San Diego is a really bro-e city so hockey would fit right in. But I can’t see an NBA team there. The only issue I see with this project is that the location is not a very attractive one for those not attending games. The Gaslamp pulls in too many people and this particular location is surrounded by warehouses and not particularly popular. Plus, by the looks of the project, parking is going to be a huge issue as there are no nearby lots and no space.

his voice makes everything sound urgent, which is why I watch 🚨

San Diego has both NBA & NHL teams in an arena!☀☀☀☀☀☀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒

Very likely that it'll stay with the current tenants of the Pechanga Arena (AKA the San Diego Sports Arena) - those being the AHL's San Diego Gulls (a affiliate of the Anaheim Ducks), the MASL San Diego Sockers, the NLL's San Diego Seals, and the IFL's San Diego Strike Force. I really don't see either the NBA or NHL coming to San Diego anytime soon. Of interesting note - the reason there is affordable housing in the project is because in the past, the City of San Diego got sued for trying to redevelop the area before and lost because they failed to do a Environmental Impact Report AND ran afoul of a California State Law called the Surplus Land Act. So the City was basically forced to start over from scratch and put up basically period where there were several teams who put together bids to redevelop the area (which all of them were forcibly included with Affordable Housing to comply with State Law). In a unsurprising move - there is also another pending lawsuit from the same group who sued and won last time. All of which to say - they won't even break ground until 2025 at the earliest. So I wouldn't expect any Major League team to move there in the next 4 to 6 years.

LA Clippers can move back to San Diego

There are too many NBA and NHL teams in CA. Specifically NHL in So Cal. There shouldn't be a relocation to San Diego unless it's the Ducks or LA Kings move. The only way I see an NHL team moving to CA is if it's in Northern CA

No public funding appetite in SD. Limited TV market vs. what else is in play.

Coyotes should move to SD lol

I live in San Marcos which is in Northern San Diego county this is being talk about to do a new Arena for the San Diego Gulls of the AHL.

What’s South Florida got to do with San Diego?

Bring NHL hockey to San Diego!

The Coyotes relocating to San Diego would work far better than their near 30 year stay in Arizona. Instant rivalry with both the Kings and Ducks.

I'm happy about the money and investment, being that Stan Kronke is affiliated with the Denver Nuggets/ Colorado Avalanche. However it would seem that he intends to bring minor league investment to San Diego. This project looks like a glorified minor league project than an NBA/NHL-worthy arena anyway. I remember as a kid when the Lakers with Magic Johnson came to the old Sports Arena during the NBA preseason. Not sure what to make of this, but San Diegans should be ecstatic to have Kronke on board, but whatever he is up to I hope that he scraps the Midway project and starts from scratch. The arena looks like a tribute to Pringles chips. If they keep this North County hill billy design (totally corny) they should print the Pringles logo on the roof and seek an endorsement deal.

Doesn't Stan Kroenke own the Denver Nuggets? If they get the Coyotes, they'll probably be called the San Diego Gulls.

The Winnipeg Jets can possibly relocate to San Diego and be named the mariners and NBA team be named the Jets

Cities with really old arenas y stadium should update new buildings like this arena

Anchorman for the real name stay classy San Diego 👌🏻😄

hopefully we bait a franchise to move here. afraid its not going to happen via expansion however. at any rate, its refreshing to finally see the small town mentality dwindling down

Stan kroenke involved it will get done good luck san diego

The current name is Pechanga Arena San Diego but to me it will always be call “The Sports Arena” since I grew up going there so many times

move anaheim ducks there because it's within an area where old fans of the ducks can still go they can make new fans also the ducks would get a state of the art arena i think that's what would be best

Clippers back in San Diego would be fire, but realistically it could bring the Pelicans out of NOLA. Ducks could relocate to there from the Honda Center!

Do a MLS stadium ranking.

#OhGoodness!

"And now, get on your feet to welcome your San Diego Ducks!" Only way they get NHL is if the ducks move from Anaheim.

This is very similar

NHL will not expand to another California city… won’t happen !

Would be a complete waste of money. Nobody wants to go inside in the city with the most predictably nice weather on the planet.

NHL??? Anaheim has the DUCKS

Yeah. They are going to invest into the area and build “affordable housing”.

You lost me at affordable housing. 😆

Add 2k seats and lets get the NBA in here with a fresh start expansion team. Lets see Seattle, KC, SD, LV Teams!

Coyotes are the only team that would move there

As much as I believe San Diego is a dying sports market, I think this would be the only way this could maybe save them as major sports city, and also the San Diego Mighty Ducks has a good ring to it too. I don’t know about them getting the NBA, however but we’ll see on that.

John fisher sell the athletics to Oakland California if you want your own mlb team make it yourself

This is very similar to what that was

If they build a new stadium, it needs to be downtown. Having a baseball stadium, an arena, and a football stadium in the different parts of San Diego is kind of dumb imo. They need to just have a new arena next to the convention center and Petco Park.

That’s dumb because theyre not getting one

NBA Life In The Spirit City Of California!

There is not enough corporate sponsorships for any new team. Franchise values do not increase in S.D. as fast as other cities like L.A. Our fans are passionate towards NHL based on Gulls attendance when the team was good. I won't go see Coyotes.

They already lost the Rockets & Clippers... I could see the Coyotes relocating there! (Slim chance of the Clippers or Kings heading there)

I don't see Denver losing it teams if you think the hate that people in St Louis have for Stan Denver will be 100 time worst because the just won the Championship in both the NHL and a NBA

San Diego could get a football team…a USFL team. And what’s wrong with the San Diego Sports Arena? 😂😂😂 Yeah…this is so old, the San Diego Clippers played there before moving to the Los Angeles Sports Arena…next to the LA Coliseum. And let’s not forget Kemper Arena in Kansas City. How’d that work out for getting a NBA franchise back in KC???

Lmao there's plenty of enough teams in California for both those leagues

San Diego is such a big market for only one main professional sport team plus mls ( 2025 ) . But I don’t see NBA giving California a 5 th team . NHL by relocation is the most likely one .

Could be a re-location option for yotes. and no competition outside of padres who play in summer. Yet nhl doesn't need a fourth cali team and sd would be too close to la teams and vgk. Maybe move quacks down there. And slc has a leg up on everyone with a multi billionaire-jazz owner smyth-wanting an nhl team and is already in talks with nhl for yotes. Plus slc could get winter olympics and a nice shiny new arena that comes with it. Vivint will only work short term. sd lost nba rockets and clippers plus once had aba conquistadors. Had wha mariners too that didn't last so sd record of basketball/hockey not that great. And no owner for sd nhl team has been named. Kroenke can't own multiple teams in nhl.

Move the Winnipeg Jets to San Diego.

Take back the Clippers loljk 😂

Can't see it

I think San Diego would be great in the NHL but I dont see it happening unless the Ducks decide to move south.

Why not put in 4000 more seats and then have a realistic bid for an NBA team?

“This is very similar. This is very similar. This is very similar” come on, get it out buddy

Wait a minute so now they want to build a arena but don't want to build the stadium 🏟️ for the chargers 😂 smh but one can think that it's all Spanos fault 🤷🏾‍♂️

Couldn't keep the Chargers could've bid on the Clippers. All money in on the Madres.

Stuttering Stanley

I can only see the Ducks move to San Diego and the Ducks have a farm team in San Diego

The current arena holds 12,920 for hockey--a few hundred more for basketball. The proposed arena is too small in any event for the NBA or NHL, and the renderings are several years old. San Diego has already lost 2 NBA teams, and I doubt the Ducks and Kings would be too thrilled to have another team 100 miles to the south regarding the NHL.

Give San Diego an NBA team. Too many NHL teams in the sun belt already.

I can't see the NHL expanding to 4 California teams and the NBA expanding to 5 California teams right now. But San Diego definitely deserves another major sports team or 2. Not counting the MLS which they will get a team in 2025 i believe

Nah. San Diego sports arena is not 16,000 seats and more. /

I want an nfl or nba team. Wtf is nhl?

We’ve already lost 2 NBA teams and a NFL team don’t think NBA will come back here!!!!!!

Penchanga arena is out dated

Doubt they’ll give SD an NHL team.

Too small for NHL or NBA. NHL wouldn't go with the Ducks so close. Maybe if in 20 years and the Ducks need a new arena they'd move to San Diego. Not now, Honda Center is still a nice arena.

By clippers 😂

Sports bubble. Too many teams. Too many games. Cable bundle dying.

Nope... the ranking is Seattle, Las Vegas and then Vancouver through relocation.

A WNBA team and a G league team is more likely for San Diego.

Both the NBA and NHL will not allow a team owner with ownership of multiple franchises in their respective leagues. Stan owns the Nuggets and Avalanche. He will not move his teams from those markets to San Diego. This is going to be for a minor league team and more of a real estate development ... look at the units and arena capacity. You are all delusional if you think the NBA wants another California team in a failed market twice with the Rockets and Clippers. The Coyotes could move under a new ownership team if they are willing to pay rent to Stan... most likely won't happen. NBA is going to Seattle and Vegas. The Gulls are owned by the Ducks... they also won't play in someone else's arena.

Highly doubt for S/D NBA & NHL teams due to Orange County pro-sports teams as part of S/D territory. Funny, b/c of S/D to award as 30th MLS team. We shall see by how S/D will be viable pro-sports town. S/D Padres will be a future relocation to SLC as the UT Mormons. Since SLC have interest for an MLB team expansion this 2020s decade. S/D like OAK to S/F is a shadow city of L/A. CA has geographical saturations between both SFBA & LAMA pro-sports markets.

The San Diego Gulls IHL hockey team has had the best attendance in the league for years.

Coyotes to SD? they can play in Viejas arena till this one is built

Anaheim Ducks become San Diego Gulls and current San Diego Gulls relocate to Oceanside under a different name such as Oceanside Stingrays and maybe get Los Angeles Clippers Games at the new San Diego Arena for presseaon games.

This would be great for getting the Coyotes from the Phoenix area, where they have no arena. Kroenke has the money and clout to make this happen. Build this arena and a team should come.

I'm going to step up and say this. As a long time resident of San Diego, this is and won't happen. San Diegans couldn't get Spanos to keep the Chargers. The city won't support it and haven't supported the Chargers "plus" the citizens were duped by the voting process to keep the Chargers. The San Diego Arena (like the Long Beach Arena) needs to be torn down. No pro team will come to San Diego ... NONE! The people won't support another team.
