SAN DIEGO (AP) – The city and county’s updated plans for a new $1.1 billion stadium were immediately trashed by the Chargers, making it look increasingly doubtful the long-running, contentious issue can be solved by City Hall’s Sept. 11 deadline to have a deal in place to qualify for a January vote.
The city and county unveiled the updated plans Monday, a few hours after a local contingent made a presentation to the NFL’s Committee on Los Angeles Opportunities in Chicago.
The Chargers, who appear eager to move to Los Angeles, will update all owners on Tuesday on their joint plan with the archrival Oakland Raiders to build a stadium in Carson.
St. Louis owner Stan Kroenke will give an update on his competing bid to build a stadium in Inglewood.
At a sun-drenched news conference overlooking aging Qualcomm Stadium, Mayor Kevin Faulconer unveiled a financing plan, architectural renderings for a new stadium and a 6,000-page draft of an environmental impact report.
