it is said to be one of the great legacies of Henry Cisneros, but really it is a fail
there was little (no) chance that SA was going to get an NFL team when it was built, but if they had a brain they would have built it large enough to host a Super Bowl and at the time it was built even though the "rules" say it has to be an NFL city to host they would have let SA into the rotation without a doubt
at the time Miami was a shit hole stajium, the Dome was a shit hole, Texas Stajium was a shit hole and too small, The Super Dome was on it's way to becoming a shit hole and yet was getting Super Bowls left and right, LA Stajiums were shit holes, but were getting Super Bowls because "LA" and SA would have been an easy choice every 5 years or so for two decades at least
the fucking thing can hold 64,000 for football and it really only needs 70,000 by the rules, but if thy did it like Jerry World and had regular seating of 69,000 to 70,000 and then cram 6,000 to 7,000 people in standing room only or other shit they would have been golden to host at least 3 if not 4 Super Bowls over the life it has had so far
instead SA was so fucking broke at the time and so stupid and so desperate they built it half assed and thought the NFL would cut them a break.....they are lucky they fell ass backwards into the final four becoming such a big deal and landed some of those
it is also a shit location and while I do not think the outside looks terrible the inside looks dumb as fuck with those upper deck corners (areas that could have been squared up and held more shitty cheap seats to get closer to 70,000 total seats
the sad thing is even if they get rid of it and do it over again they will till fuck up because well SA
