SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The San Diego Chargers have agreed to lease office space and 3.2 nearby acres in Costa Mesa for a team headquarters and practice facility, team officials confirmed Friday.
The move, initially reported by the Orange County Register, ups the ante in the team's drive for a new stadium -- either in its home of 55 years or in the Los Angeles area.
Chargers Chairman Dean Spanos has been calling for a new facility for around 15 years to replace aging Qualcomm Stadium Mission Valley. He said he would wait until after the regular season, which ends Jan.
