SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The Chargers announced Tuesday that they'll pursue a stadium project in downtown San Diego, in conjunction with a planned expansion of the convention center, with the aim of placing a citizen's initiative on the November general election ballot.
In making their decision, team officials rejected city and county of San Diego offers to build a new facility next to existing Qualcomm Stadium in Mission Valley.
