A developer wants to build a giant sports and entertainment complex on Chula Vista’s bayfront.
The Virginia-based developers for the Pangaea Chula Vista Sports Entertainment Complex will present their plans to the Port of San Diego board next Tuesday.
According to an agenda posted on the port’s website Thursday, Pangaea would deliver hotels, an elite tennis center, a water polo academy, an IMAX theater, a PopStroke co-owned by Tiger Woods and even a 50,000 seat soccer stadium. It would be built on a 124-acre piece of the Chula Vista Bayfront that used to include the old South Bay Power Plant.
The development would join Gaylord Pacific on Chula Vista’s bayfront. The resort and convention center is less than 2 months old but has already been booked to capacity several times.
This is not the first attempt a developer has tried bringing sports to the South Bay city’s waterfront. The then-San Diego Chargers contemplated building a football stadium at the same location. Then, in 2022, developer Fred McDonald proposed building a soccer and entertainment complex in the same vicinity. Both those plans obviously failed.
