SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Chargers Chairman Dean Spanos met with San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer and county Supervisor Ron Roberts on Monday, just a couple hours after announcing the hiring of a longtime civic leader to push a stadium project forward.
Fred Maas will serve as a special adviser for a prospective ballot measure, according to the Chargers.
Maas used to be chairman and CEO of the Centre City Development Corp. - the city's former downtown redevelopment arm, and his appointment could be seen as a preference by team officials for a downtown stadium.

Chargers Chairman Dean Spanos said in a video posted on the team's website that such speculation wasn't necessarily accurate, and that Maas would also provide input on Mission Valley adjacent to Qualcomm Stadium - a location being offered by city and county.
