The Citizens’ Stadium Advisory Group announced Feb. 6 it will hold a forum to receive public input on a plan to build a new stadium for the San Diego Chargers. The date of the forum has not been determined, advisory group spokesman Tony Manolatos told City News Service. The nine-member group, which Mayor Kevin Faulconer named last month, held its first meeting Feb. 6 and selected Adam Day as chairman. Day is a longtime public administrator and a California State University trustee. Day said he intends to give “regular updates so San Diegans are apprised of the process” of selecting a stadium site and a way to finance it, Manolatos said. The group will examine the possibilities of retaining the Qualcomm Stadium site in Mission Valley and a stadium alongside the convention center in the downtown area. “It’s time for us, as a community, to come together to decide the future of the Chargers in San Diego,” Faulconer said in naming the group Jan. 30. “This independent group will give San Diegans the first real plan in the past 13 years. These expert volunteers will explore all possibilities to finance the project, with the clear direction from me that it must be a good and fair deal for San Diego taxpayers.” The group includes a Fortune 500 executive, a respected local government leader, a sports executive and experts in the areas of finance, land use, real estate and construction of municipal stadiums. This group is charged with completing an analysis, developing plans and making recommendations by the fall of this year. Faulconer will then review the recommendations and finalize a plan this fall for public consideration. The group is not an official City commission. Faulconer has said he will ask San Diegans to weigh in on any final plan through a public vote. — City of San Diego communications department, City News Service
