The Chargers want to ask San Diego voters in November to raise taxes on hotel stays to help pay for a $1.8 billion stadium and convention center complex next to Petco Park downtown, say sources close to the team.
All the details won’t be public until the Chargers release their official initiative, which is expected any day now. Until then, let’s sort through some questions and answers about the proposal, based on the limited information from our sources, inside or otherwise.
Q: What do the Chargers want to build?
A: A football stadium with about 65,000 seats, luxury suites and other niceties considered essential by the National Football League these days, expandable to 75,000 seats for Super Bowls.
