Kev with a positive slant... #weird.

Someone please book mark this moment.
Something these eyes have not seen since AJ was walking the hollowed grounds.

Maybe shithead realized he would be out of a job when the Chargers leave

Kev just could not handle the roll of wet blanket this time. Not sure why, maybe it got hot in the kitchen.

I'm sure that's his See I'm not a channel of hate evidence
Now he will continue his vendetta.

Is this a feasible idea?

The way it's laid out makes good sense. I wonder what SDfan thinks about it.

Two problems.

Getting people from harbor blvd to the stadium and parking.

Consolidating authority to sandag.

Other than that has merit and is a great idea to use funds without needing public approval.

Land for Carson stadium will be purchased this month

Regardless of whether the Chargers and Raiders move to a new stadium to be built in Carson, California, the Chargers will own a large piece of land there.

According to Nathan Fenno and Tim Logan of the Los Angeles Times, the Chargers already have agreed to purchase from Starwood Capital Group the property on which the stadium would be built.

“There are no contingencies, there is no option,” Chargers special counsel Mark Fabiani told the Times. “We have to buy it. Starwood has to sell it.”

Meanwhile, an effort has been launched to secure 8,041 signatures, which would result in a ballot initiative landing in the lap of the Carson City Council. If the members of the council approve the effort, the public would then vote on the plan.

The initiative would create a public authority that would own the team and lease it to the Chargers and Raiders. Despite the public ownership of the venue, no tax money would be spent on the project. Goldman Sachs and others have loaned $850 million to the effort, with the money being repaid from stadium revenues.

The Carson project currently is competing with a project in Inglewood for the privilege of building an NFL stadium. AEG still hopes to build a stadium in downtown L.A.

I can't imagine the carson site is more appealing than the mission valley or downtown

Must be to move up the time table

It's to keep the bluff moving.

As caustic as that landfill is, the Spanos family would gladly eat it (and sell it later) to score a new stadium here.

What are we missing on the toxic waste dump of Carson? How would the EPA, the NFL, civil engineers, local government, etc., allow a billon dollar stadium (that requires millions just to make it usable and will then require a continual/constant effort to de-contaminate for the health and safety of thousands of people) to be built? Why would two different billion dollar franchises run the risk of the environmental and PR nightmare while trying to re-brand and re-establish a new identity? How is this even an option?

Is it not as bad as reported? Is the pollution issue completely solvable? I understand the controversy over the potential move but why this site? This toxic waste of a site?
