It fits into a nice sweet spot - smaller than Petco (and a better concert venue) and bigger than Sports Arena. It also is good for soccer - and will be the future home for San Diego's MLS team.

Good chance they still end up in the PAC, but only with OSU and WSU as original members.
However, this shows why they were never a great replacement for USC and UCLA.
Agreed, and it's also stretch to say attendance was due to conference disappointment. aAll the positive talk and spin, but not a deep fan base. Just 10k season tickets sold this year, down from 16k last year in the first year of the new stadium. Classes started Aug 21, so no excuses there too.
Dropping $320 million on that stadium could be a monumental disaster.
Looking at the ticket price map, seats are quite expensive - which is unlike their baskeball prices which encourage sellouts.
Don't their Hill People put the kibosh on "special events"?
Nope. It is not near residents except for lowly renters
WHY ARE WE THE ONLY ONES WITH HILL PEOPLE?!?
UCLA doesn't have an on campus stadium.
True. I have a cousin that lives in that neighborhood. She went to USC for law school.
