On Tuesday, the San Diego City Council voted unanimously to approve a study which will determine if the Centre City Development Corporation (CCDC) should lift its spending cap for a downtown football stadium. While an actual vote on such a stadium is unlikely to be put before the people until 2012 at the earliest, the City Council decision was an important first step to clear the way.
The San Diego Stadium Coalition has been pushing for a new Chargers stadium for years, and chairman Jason Riggs is pleased with the City Council’s vote and the latest developments. Jason joined 619Sports.Net to discuss all the ins and outs of the downtown stadium proposal in our latest Chargers podcast.
What does the City Council vote mean ultimately for the stadium effort? What is the next step in the process? What significant challenges remain? We talk about all of this and more in a must listen for Chargers fans who want to keep their team in town with a new stadium!
