The Chargers scored a public relations victory last week when they leaked their plans for a downtown stadium and convention center annex.
Talking up the plan to select media -- a quintet the team invited to Chargers Park -- allowed the Chargers to shape the initial narrative, but I wonder if the approach has boomeranged. The more San Diego's elected reps have learned about the 110-page proposal, the less they seem like it, if they ever did. Several politicos have slammed the plan, and a few are snippy about how the team spun an undertaking whose initial cost projects to $1.
