Some highlights... “Is the County just going to write a blank check? No,” Roberts said. “It’s about: how do we make this happen, how do we keep the Chargers in San Diego. We have to get our own experts, besides attorneys, to succeed, and we have to see what the advisory committee comes up with." “It’s doubtful we’ll get a funding source that will get a two-thirds vote,” Roberts rightfully concedes. “There are a lot of sources of value out there that we need to look at." Says Faulconer: “I’m committed to a public vote. San Diego will endorse a good deal, and I’m convinced this joint effort with the County will give us the best chance. As for location, I’m less concerned about where it is; I’m more concerned with how we get it done. When we go to the ballot, you will see all sectors of the county come together and realize how important it is to keep the Chargers in San Diego.” "And let's not forget San Diego State." "Let’s not. The doubters may believe otherwise. But they are important." A few interesting points were made. First, the Mayor is committed to a public vote. IMO that is the kiss of death right there. I don't belive any public vote regarding the stadium will pass (I will wait for the proposals to prove me wrong). It is interesting that Adam Day said they would not recommend a special tax that would require a 2/3 vote yet the Mayor is committed to a vote. It seems there will be a vote regardless of the CSAG's recommendation. Second, Ron Roberts referred to sources of value that needed to be looked at. I assume this will be concessions from the Chargers. Good luck negotiating with the Chargers. Third was the importance of San Diego State University. For all the silence from SDSU it seems they are indeed an important piece of the puzzle. The stadium soap opera is going to get interesting.

The sad thing about all of this is, had Spano's not lied to the citizens so often, this probably would have taken place.
LA is NOT an NFL city. History proves that.
Carson? lol Ever been there?
We need our own stadium, it will happen just as soon as these clowns get out of their own way.
Chargers, my bet, are gone.

I think the Chargers have already made up their mind and are moving to L.A. It is the best move for them and will share a stadium with the Rams. Raiders will move to Indianapolis into a brand new stadium. The Charger move is the best for them in a business sense. All of this city county stuff is just for show. I believe that the Chargers were promised the L.A.spot long ago by the league when they saw how difficult it would be to pass any tax to build a new stadium. Hell, even the local sport talk show talking heads are saying the Chargers are going to move. Let the stones and arrows fly, I'll get my extra thick shield ready.

It's all about circling the wagons and damage control at this point. Insisting on a vote is smart, so when the Chargers leave... the mayor & county can both point to the will of the people and deflect a fair amount of any possible backlash.
I'm with McQuervo in betting that the Spanoses are already measuring for curtains in LA...

"We are still committed to staying in San Diego" "Carson is a possibility of an alternative" In his own voice, on the radio.

Hell, even the local sport talk show talking heads are saying the Chargers are going to move. Let the stones and arrows fly, I'll get my extra thick shield ready. No way. They weren't willing to share the LA Live project, why would they change course and share one in Inglewood (which is always up to no good)? There hasn't been a football stadium built in LA for 96 years. LA has been without pro football for greater than 20 years yet everyone thinks that LA can get it done. If LA was such a financial windfall, don't you think someone would have solved equation by now? I hope you folks don't spend much time in casinos.

I think I'm a pretty astute observer. Did I assign a value to his statements or did I simply report them?

A vote of 50% vs. the 2/3 vote if a new tax is implemented.
