Manchester's NFL proposal needs clarity, urgency

It’s another idea.

That’s all.

Local developer Doug Manchester told NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell via letter earlier this month that he has “assembled a powerful group of associates” who will develop the land on which Qualcomm Stadium sits and privately finance “a new 70,000-seat stadium and surrounding development.”

A town that couldn’t keep an NFL franchise is evidently now teeming with possible ways to develop the land the Chargers abandoned.

There are no specifics contained in the letter, and Manchester declined comment Tuesday.

Add the proposal to the list of projects that could maybe possibly perhaps might someday become an actual something on the city’s most valuable piece of real estate.
