The former Jack Murphy Stadium opened to the public in 1967.
The San Diego City Council voted on Monday to reject Mayor Faulconer's plan for a $5 million special election this fall that would have likely included the Soccer City San Diego redevelopment proposal of the Qualcomm Stadium site, but the mayor overrode that vote with a veto yesterday.
However, the question remains if Soccer City San Diego is an environmentally sound and responsible proposal, and if it is the best, wisest use of city property and facilities.

The San Diego River in Mission Valley.
Should the Soccer City proposal go on the ballot in 2018 instead of 2017, it is possible that the loophole created by the 2014 state Supreme Court decision that enables developers to bypass the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) if their projects are approved as ballot-placed land-use measures may be closed – in which case one of the basic concerns environmentalists have toward the project may be satisfied.
Even with the environmental concerns, and the opportunity to create a new, massive city park in an area of the city short on open space, the Soccer City proposal for the Qualcomm Stadium site in Mission Valley is a big ask for the region.
