Town Hall Meeting Discusses New Chargers Stadium

To take this blog in a different direction for today, here’s a Chargers story about the new stadium.  Remember when that was the biggest problem the Chargers had?  We just all had good ol’ Qualcom to complain about.  Those days seem long gone now, as the Chargers are barely above .500 and may well be the weakest team to make the AFC playoffs when everything is said and done.  But even with all the coaching issues, personnel problems, inconsistencies, and second-guessing this year has brought us, the fact still remains that the Chargers need a new place to play football.

So the new sites being discussed are both in Chula Vista, with one being near to the water and one site being more inland.  The Town Hall meeting was held to discuss all the differing perspectives on the situation.  Some people want the Chargers to stay in Qualcom, which is just not feasible at all, given all the circumstances.  San Diego is a Super Bowl city, and without a new stadium, they’ll never see another Super Bowl.  People worry about traffic, which is understandable.  But I’d have to think the revenue it would create would more than make up for the slight inconvenience 8 weeks out of the year.  I think this deal gets done, but there are still logistics to be worked out.
