Mayor Kevin Faulconer saluted his advisory group after it chose the current Mission Valley site for a new Chargers stadium, saying:
“I want to thank the volunteers on the Citizens’ Stadium Advisory Group for moving quickly to recommend the best location for a new Chargers stadium. The Mission Valley site has been home to the Chargers for nearly 50 years and I know we can make it work for decades to come. Now that they’ve recommended a site, I look forward to the group continuing to move expeditiously on developing a fair and responsible financing plan for a new stadium.”
Councilman Scott Sherman issued his own statement:
“The Citizens Stadium Advisory Group has gone through the data, reviewed numerous detailed plans, received input from experts and came to the only reasonable conclusion. The Mission Valley site is the best option for Chargers fans, the City, and most importantly the taxpayers. I applaud the Advisory group for their hard work. I will continue to work with them to create a sensible financing plan.”
