The UT just ran this story: http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com...ent/sd-fi-soccercity-sdsu-20170321-story.html
"The plan envisions:
This matches one of the rumors I heard very recently, that SDSU wanted to get a decent portion of the MV site with much more control of it compared to what FSI had planned, which was to basically get all the land for their own interests and try to attach SDSU's name to the project with MANY limitations.
"The plan envisions:
- Aztec stadium: 12 acres purchased or leased from the city for a stadium of 35,000 seats with rights to expand to 40,000. There is no mention of sharing the facility with Major League Soccer or any noncollegiate user.
- Campus expansion: 35 acres purchased or leased from the city “for future university expansion.”
- Parking: 10,800 spaces, based on the 40,000-seat size that would be ready at the time of the stadium’s opening with half adjacent to the stadium, 25 percent within a two-block radius and the remainder throughout the project.
- Stadium control: SDSU or the “appropriate collegiate event host” would control all rights to “other collegiate sporting events.”
- Developer: The university said it does not intend to be the sole owner or lessee of the site. “Any partner must agree to move forward with design and construction of a multiuse stadium within 90 days of land transfer” and it fails to do so, SDSU can proceed with design and construction on its own.
