Tony Gwynn: "No, I’m not. I know from experience. I remember 1996 and 1998. There were not many people in the stands until the second half of the season. And then it took off. I hate to call us fair-weather fans. It’s not like we’re competing against other sports teams here. We’re competing against San Diego and what it has to offer in the weather and things to do. But if we’re winning in July and August, the fans will be here. You’ll see." -

There was no such place as “Carmel Mountain” and going to RB was like taking a drive out to Julian… muy lejos. This was in the late 80’s and Carmel Valley was pretty much empty. Does anyone remember when the Carmel Valley Rd exit had just a Shell, a Chevron and Seasons Restaurant?

i lived in North County for a number of years
and i would say its quicker to get downtown than it is to get to Elsinore.
If they put the ballpark closer to the coast, like Oceanside or Carlsbad, they could probably draw some fans from Southern Orange County too.

Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Well
Planning isn’t the right word. But, that is part of the proposed plan. CSUSM has ambitions to petition for NCAA division I or II status and could share the stadium with a minor league franchise. Obviously, a CSUSM location would also have the benefits of Sprinter access without expansion whereas most likely Carlsbad and Oceanside would not.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
well Oceanside would.
they have sprinter access too, but i get the idea now.
IMO, south county would be better than north county. North county is a bedroom community. After 6 pm, that place is a graveyard.

I’m not familiar enough with Oceanside to know if the Sprinter goes near where a ballpark could be built. I would think that it doesn’t, so that’s why I said “without expansion”.

is there even room to build a ballpark at CSUSM

It would definitely be an interesting experiment
I think that for someone living in Oceanside/Carlsbad/Vista/San Marcos/Escondido a trip to downtown SD on a weeknight is pretty prohibitive unless you’re a night owl and don’t work 9 to 5. But, you could catch most of a AAA game in San Marcos and not be too inconvenienced by it.
Question to the Oregonians, do they televise all the Beaver games in the Portland area? I assume they are on the radio for every game, right? I wonder how that would work in the SD market given its sports radio and television issues.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

I haven’t made it to a weeknight game before 1st pitch yet this season.

That's because it doesn't confuse the people you talk to.

it's a great sport
all those statistics that you like in baseball…
that’s passing and field position and dribbling and many other things in soccer.
AND, much like in baseball, the best games are when the score is not very high.
You make it sound like the Padres are moving by choice
They’re being forced out. Take it up with the Portland franchise owner.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
I would like to politely disagree.
The Kipper here can speak for himself later, but we all know that the Beavers are being forced to move. I think what he’s trying to say is that if the Beavs moved somewhere like Vancouver, he could still go to games. But if they move down south, not only do they get all the major league teams down there, they also get Lake Elsinore and the Beavs(or whatever they decide to call them). For myself, if I want to see a Padres game live, I have to drive 5 hours up to Seattle, at best. If the Beavers stayed close, I would only have to drive maybe 2 hours to see a team almost to big league caliber. So yeah, it’s frustrating to almost everyone that they are moving, and it’s be nice if they could stay closer instead of so cal.
It'd be nice
But it’s not exactly in the best interest of the major league club. Most teams prefer their AAA teams close. Portland was already pretty far, so asking them to move to somewhere like Vancouver is even more inconvenient. Plus, you’d have to work out an arrangement to move the current Vancouver team. Tacoma is closer than Vancouver anyway and they already have a AAA team.
It seems to me, what’s unfair here is that no one in the Oregon area is willing to accommodate a AAA team. I agree, that’s not fair for the residents, but don’t take it out on whoever gets the Padres AAA franchise since they are basically just going to go somewhere that wants them and is as close to home as possible. That place used to be Portland, but that ship sailed.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
She was talking about Vancouver, Wa
just across the Columbia river from Portland.
The owner of the Beavers, Merrit Paulson, has wanted to stay in Portland all along. It’s the city council that has not been able to pull the trigger on a new stadium here (PGE Park will be exclusively dedicated to soccer). There were discussions on building a stadium next to the Rose Garden (The Blazers arena), but the fine folks who run this city were “undecided” as to what to do with the available space…
If anyone has ever been to Memphis, TN than you know how cool the Beale Street district is. They’ve got the Memphis Redbirds (Cardinal’s AAA affiliate) a block or two away from Fed Ex arena (Memphis Grizzlies) and plenty of nightlife.
Though this has nothing to do with you guys , I am upset that the Beavs are leaving. It makes me want to shout “S.T.F.U!!!!!!!!!” at the top of my lungs at total strangers.
I have been to Memphis and I've seen the Redbirds
I might be inclined to think Beale carries the teams more than the teams carry it, but it is definitely a cool area.

Well, the Mariners have their AAA team close by in Tacoma, so it’s not unprecedented. And that’s a football town.
The article
Actually shows all the teams that have AAA teams close to the major league team. The Braves did something similar recently building a stadium a little over 20 miles away from Turner Field to house their AAA team.
It also shows the teams that have other level (A, AA, etc) minor league teams nearby.

I caught quite a few AAA Braves games went I went to visit clients in Richmond. There is nothing like the dancing Hostess Cupcake and dancing Milk Carton to remind you how bad (and desperate) advertising (my trade) can really be. Who needs Fellini?
"I post like canned meat."
AAA in San Marcos would be a genius move by the Padres.
This ownership group has made it plain that they want to field a team that “grew up on the farm” so to speak. The biggest problem with that is not a baseball one but a PR one. How do you convince the fans that they should give a rip about this season’s crop of unproven players they have never heard of? How about placing the highest level farm team within the local media sphere so the fans have already heard of them, seen their highlights on the evening news and possibly rooted for them from the stands.

I could see some validity to that
but they should also then make Lake Elsinore THE spot for all their youngest up and coming talent. So fans can see the talent both when it starts and when its almost big lead ready
See the new kids at LE, see them two years later at SM, then shortly thereafter at Petco.

If they were smart (as smart as me)
they would move the AAA team to TJ. We desperately need to to build up that market and Mexico in general.
"I post like canned meat."
if Mexico can kick France's ass
they should be able to take down MLB
and return the authority to its rightful owner – the Padres.

The day that happens
Seattle will start getting all the revenue from Japanese television. The Padres current 1/30th share of that is probably more than a 100% share of the Baha market.
Maybe
When the troops get back from Afghanistan we can invade and annex Tijuana. Then the Padres can get the television revenue instead of MLB.

My thoughts on all this
#1… If they move AAA to San Marcos, they should move high A out of Lake Elsinore.
#2… Tennesse, particularly Memphis is awesome… I spent some time there last year.
#3… There ain’t shit to do in North county except coastal Encinitas and Solana beach… It closes up as tight as Chris Youngs Shoulder.
#4… I am stuck in Philly and sad its an off day because I would have loved to watch the Padres on “at bat”.

True
I should learn more about the Red Sox so that when they fall out of contention I know who Jed “the boy wonder” Hoyer will go after.

By the way
I’m hoping he goes after Jacoby. I love that kid. Plus he can steal bases. Which is good for Petco, just sayin…
Isn't he injured?

Yeah
And I don’t know if he can handle Petco’s CF.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Something to keep in mind
If High A moves out of Lake Elsinore they’d have to relocate to another California location or to the Southeast US because that’s where the two High A leagues are. I don’t think the organization would like moving their High A team all the way across the country and I don’t know what relocating in California would accomplish. I bet you that relocating the Elsinore team would piss off Dave Oster a lot more than just putting a team in San Marcos since he’d have to find a new team to come to Lake Elsinore.

The "San Marcos Beavers" doesn't sound right...
How about San Marcos Barn Owls? San Marcos Salamanders? San Marcos Chaparral?
San Marcos Swift

Beavers is a Portland thing anyway
I mean they were never the Portland Stars when the franchise relocated from Vegas.

I don't know if the contract ends after this year or next
but the Blue Jays want to get their tripleA club out of Vegas. Would be nice for the Las Vegas Stars to come back home.
you got
two NL championships and a NL West title during the time the Padres had their AAA in Vegas….

And im sure that had everything to do with the Stars
California, what have you done to me?

That's not why the Padres left
I think it had more to do with the inadequacies of Cashman Field. The Dodgers definitely left for that reason.
