Newly-elected city attorney Jan Goldsmith may be the Chargers’ last hope of staying in San Diego.
The team certainly wasn’t ever going to work out a stadium deal with current contentious city attorney Mike Aguirre.
Until Tuesday’s elections, the alternatives were:
(a) a new stadium in Chula Vista
(b) a new stadium at the 10th Avenue Terminal near downtown
Chula Vista won’t happen because it would be wrong to build a billion-dollar stadium in a city cutting back on employees.
The 10th Avenue Terminal is out now that the fine citizens of San Diego voted not to build a deck/possible stadium on top of the terminal.
That really narrows it down to one location: The current site at Qualcomm Stadium.
With the constant bickering between the Chargers and Aguirre, a new stadium wasn’t going to happen in the city of San Diego.
With Goldsmith, at least the Chargers should/will negotiate.
There’s no better place to build than the current Mission Valley site of Qualcomm Stadium.
It’s third and long: We’ll see whether the Chargers run a bootleg out of town or have civil negotiations with Goldsmith.
