They could of banged this out 10 plus years ago, but they were to busy voting themselves raises and running the city Pension System into ground.
Like SDlife said, "Nothing ever gets done in this town".
A lot of truth to this. The CC has always went down rabbit holes over stuff not worth spending money. What's the latest one, oh ya DT Library.


Anyone hit a pothole recently?

Oakland Raiders just bowed out of the Carson deal so it's likely the Chargers and Rams all the way up in lovely Inglewood :-/

Awkward! The Chargers stay in their hated host city for at least a year or two and then have the option to join The Rams in a new stadium in Inglewood.

Spanos can still join the Rams as either a tenant at Inglewood or somekind of minority ownership or the new stadium. It was stated by the commissioner that Spanos has a year to make a decision and can make a decision even tomorrow and in time to relocate to LA by the 2016 year.

San Diego came out OK today despite all the doom and gloom predictions. In Spanos' statement to the media he said he will weigh all his options even with the home market. He made $100 million today out of this mess.

Glimmer of hope for SD Charger fans-----YES! Can we stomach anymore of this?---NOPE!

Since he didn't get his way, what do you think his next move is? Does he concede and make-up in SD, or is his ego too bruised? I can't get over the $550 million relocation fee to be a tenant.. if I read that right.


The City of San Diego will likely honor their original deal. I hope they reach out to him and try to make this work. I think they should make the stadium with a retractable dome, so other events could be held there outside of 8 football games a year. That would allow concerts and other events to increase revenue. They might also attract some major college bowl games if they do it right. San Diego is a destination city and that could help to lure a future super bowl, too.

^ a dome in sd doesn't seem to make sense given the current climate, but the dilapidated sports arena needs to be dealt with

It wouldn't be for the weather. It would be for other events think: final fours, concerts, events etc. it would be a retractable dome. You could leave the dome open for all the games. More cities want other events to produce revenue since pro football home games are normally 8 games if no playoffs. This stadium needs to be built for the future in my opinion.

Spanos is a hated man, alienating the fans and the city. Eff that guy.

His team hitting the skids this season is karma working it's magic.
