The Chargers have tapped Jeffrey Pollack as a special advisor to team President Dean Spanos to consult on the team's influx of stadium options and on future revenue growth. He has been in his role since Jan. 1, but it has not been publicly disclosed before this morning. Pollack, who founded THE DAILY in '94, is also a former NBA and NASCAR exec. Since '13, he has run his own consultancy, Sports Business Associates.
Chargers Special Counsel Mark Fabiani will remain deeply involved, guiding strategy on the stadium effort, as he has for over a decade. Pollack's role is to supplement. For example, he helped identify and hire the architect for the proposed Carson development, Manica. The Chargers are currently negotiating with the city of San Diego over a replacement to Qualcomm Stadium, but also last week proposed a stadium in Carson that would be shared with the Raiders. The team has said it is moving on parallel tracks. Once the team makes a choice, Pollack would remain in his role with the Chargers, advising on revenue and brand growth.
