San Diego State estimated $50 million-$100 million cost for cover, which remains a possibility with MLS partner
The answer: It would have raised the price significantly on the 35,000-capacity, $310 million stadium.
The large majority of kickoffs — 85 percent — came after 5 p.m. That is expected to continue under the Mountain West’s current TV contract. “Canopies don’t make sense for us,” Wicker said. “We did leave the ability to add the canopies for an MLS partner, if they come in and want it. That’s as much of an aesthetic, you know, what soccer buildings look like in Europe and other places.”
Wicker could have named dozens of other college teams and stadiums — UCLA at the Rose Bowl and USC at the Coliseum, among them — that don’t provide shade.While San Diego Stadium was built in the mid-1960s with the field going east-west, Snapdragon Stadium was built with the field going north/south, which is the preference for most stadiums.
