The San Diego Chargers brought out the big guns to kick off their signature-gathering efforts, which included an unlikely spokesperson in NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
More-specifically, they would like for the tourists that visit San Diego to hand them some money so that they may head up a project for noncontiguous expansion of the San Diego Convention Center (and also build an NFL stadium).
