The architectural designers who recently offered the Chargers a dramatic new stadium concept have taken it to another level: digital animation.

Mayor Jerry Sanders and Chargers special counsel Mark Fabiani are talking about a new Chargers stadium as an integral part of a sports and entertainment district in downtown San Diego that might replicate L.A. Live 120 miles to the north. The pair’s new talking points signal a shift in their pitch for San Diegans to support a stadium for a team that has sought one for nearly a decade without success.

According to an article in today’s San Diego Union-Tribune, and following a closed door meeting among several of San Diego’s business leaders, Mayor Jerry Sanders seems interested in bringing a version of LA Live to San Diego.  The obvious conclusion that Mayor Sanders reached was that a football-only facility for the San Diego Chargers could not be sold as a good public money investment.  I have just one question.
