National City opens Chargers talks
I've been giving short shrift to the San Diego Chargers' city search of late, in large part because an endless stream of "Chargers officials met with Chula Vista today..." stories is even more boring to write than it is to read. The latest development seems marginally more important than that, though: The National City City Council (and yes, I do just like typing that) this week authorized municipal officials to open talks with the Chargers on a new stadium, and with the Port District on the possible use of its 52-acre plot that has been targeted as a possible stadium site.
As for who would pay for the damn thing, no one's saying. The San Diego Union-Tribune reports:
[San Diego Mayor Jerry] Sanders [and county supervisors Dianne] Jacob and [Ron] Roberts have all said that taxpayer money would not be spent on a stadium unless it would make money for taxpayers.
