Key Points To Consider When Corresponding with a Public Official or Media Outlet
Take a couple of minutes to reach out to a public official or media outlet using these handy points. You'll be surprised at the impact that just a handful of concerned citizens can have on the future of public policy in San Diego.
·         The Chargers proposal calls for 100% private funding and will not cost taxpayers a dime

·         Construction of a new stadium in San Diego County would create jobs, increase tourism, grow the region's tax base and provide valuable National exposure

·         The Spanos family has spent over 7 years and more than $10M trying to find a suitable site to build a stadium in San Diego County

·         With the Chargers' escape clause dollar amount decreasing each year and the construction of a new stadium in the City of Industry, the team's chances of leaving San Diego increase dramatically with each passing month

·         Especially under the current economic circumstances, San Diego would benefit from the significant economic upside associated with a new Stadium in the region

·         The specter of over $50M in deferred maintenance and more than $60M in unpaid bonds owed on Qualcomm makes the new stadium project critical for local taxpayers

·         If the Chargers leave the County, it also jeopardizes the SDSU football program as it would not be economically feasible for the team to continue playing at Qualcomm

·         Citizens and taxpayers demand specific information on what is being done to prevent us from losing one of our most highly valued civic and economic assets

The Chargers' Shaky Stadium Estimate
The argument goes like this: The city of San Diego loses money each year operating Qualcomm Stadium, the Mission Valley home of the Chargers. A lot of money. A whopping loss of more than $300 million between now and 2020, when the team's lease ends at Qualcomm.

Chargers Response
There is a fundamental problem with the work done today by the Voice of San Diego’s fact checker: From the very outset, the
fact checker misstates and mischaracterizes the basic question and in so doing undermines the validity of his conclusions.
