Im looking into getting a hotel for san diego sx, but its not looking like there are many hotels around the stadium. Does anyone have any ideas on where to stay in the area that will have bars around for after the races? any info would be greatly appreciated.

Don't let them get out of hand....
You guys are going to have a blast, San Diego is one of my favorite towns to go to and have had a blast there, add in SX and I am way jealous. I missed going to a Phoenix and Oakland this year. almost was going to make San Diego work so my last chance is Seattle and Vegas!
Have fun, tell the guys congratulations on making it through recruit training and good luck in their future in the Corp. I am just an army puke but 23 years ago I was in their position and don't regret a thing!
Downtown is legit...don't mess with the homeless though...
I hate downtown and all the lame ass lounges and tools down there. The weekends are when all the broke dick clowns spend their entire pay checks going out and acting all cool. Downtown San Diego is passe.
And bmach, buy your Marines some T-shirts, and smack 'em if they tuck them in...tucked in polo shirts are for liberty ports, not home turf!
Don't screw with parking and traffic bullshit, even right after the race is over the crowd to jump on the trains is nothing like the crowds to exit the parking lot. Plus you can have a few drinks and not worry about driving. Get a day pass and you can go watch practice, run back to the hotel for a quickie and dinner, then be back at the stadium in minutes.
I have made the SD trip probably 15 times in the past 33 years, a few years ago I tried the train and will never drive to the stadium again.

I'm not a fan of downtown personally, I know a lot of people like the gas lamp but it's not my scene. there are some nice bars and restaurants. plenty of clubs, if you're into that.
I like to go to Pacific Beach if i'm in the mood for bars. Specifically, Garnet Ave is basically a bar every other door plus the beach is right there. Some bars are right on the beach just feet from the boardwalk.
Off I-8 has a place called Hotel Circle. Google it. It's just a few miles east of the stadium.
