SAN DIEGO (CBS 8/CNS) - The Chargers and the city missed a deadline to reach an agreement on a stadium plan that would lead to a public vote in January.
Friday marked a "bittersweet" moment for the team, according to special counsel Mark Fabiani.
Friday was considered to be the last day San Diego and the Chargers can forge an agreement in time to have the City Attorney's Office draft a ballot measure and get it approved by the City Council in time to hold a special election.
City officials said the deadline could be fudged slightly if the Chargers rushed in at the 11th hour to propose a deal, which is considered highly unlikely.
