for fear of being labeled racist, but since I'm already branded as such, here we go.

"I'd add local radio reports the blue and gold is being painted on the [Qualcomm] field right now. Last evacuees are out. One radio reporter said the restrooms were immaculate. They looked much better than after any Charger game.

Interesting contrast to the Super Dome, which was out of commission for 13 months after Hurricane Katrina and the New Orleans evacuees got done with it. On top of needing a new roof, evacuees ripped out or destroyed 10,000 seats, gutted 38 concessions stands that had to be completely rebuilt, completely ruined the bathrooms (remember the stories of sewage flowing out the restroom doors?) and stole or trashed all the video screens and scoreboards. Cost $185 M to get the Super Dome back online."

Why? What's the difference here? People are evacuated from their homes and sent to an NFL stadium for temporary shelter. One stadium is completely trashed, the other is left in fine condition.
