New Chargers stadium will have retractable roof, synthetic turf field

SAN DIEGO -- Preliminary renderings unveiled this week by the San Diego Chargers for a new stadium downtown show a retractable roof and artificial turf field for the $1.8 billion project.

If approved by voters in November, Chargers stadium advisor Fred Maas said the earliest a stadium could get completed is 2021.

“If all the stars and the moon were aligned -- which I’ve rarely seen in San Diego -- but if they were, I would like to think that we could be playing in the 2021-22 season,” Maas said.

Manica architecture is serving as the team’s architectural firm for the project.
