The San Diego News Network should be commended for writing a thorough thoughtful article on the Chargers Stadium effort in San Diego County. If you haven't already, please take a moment to read this article so you can better understand the many variables and possibilities surrounding this endeavor.

I found the following comments telling in terms of where each City is at in regard to building a stadium :

John McCann - Chula Vista

"The mayor [Cynthia Cox] had asked us to basically allow Gaylord to go forward," said Chula Vista Deputy Mayor John McCann. "Now that Gaylord has pulled out, we're pushing forward with the Chargers aggressively."

Jerry Sanders - San Diego

"But with the infrastructure already in place, and given that it is a more centralized location than Chula Vista, why not have that as a potential site? Darren Pudgil, director of communications for Mayor Jerry Sanders' office, said that any Qualcomm proposal would undermine the City of Chula Vista's efforts to work with the Chargers.

"Ever since the Chargers talked with Chula Vista, that's where the focus has been," said Pudgil. "The mayor will be highly involved in finding a site, whether it's in the City of San Diego or the San Diego region.  If things fall through with Chula Vista, the Qualcomm site would be on the table."
