Padres Owner Concerned Of Chargers
Possibly Bolting From San Diego |
Padres Owner John Moores since getting Petco Park built in San Diego has been “concerned about the Chargers’ search for a new stadium,” according to Nick Canepa of the SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE. Moores: "If the Chargers leave town, the real loser is San Diego. People who don't think the Chargers are at risk aren't thinking seriously." Moores has said that the 96-acre Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal in San Diego would be “an ideal spot for the new football stadium.” Moores: "I don't understand how San Diego works. We went through the fires of hell to get something built. But this is so obvious. Oh, my Lord." Chargers General Counsel Mark Fabiani previously has said that the terminal would be an "ideal spot because all roads, parking and infrastructure are in place." But Canepa notes it is "Port of San Diego land, and the Port, giving in to the unions, has said no." Moores, who called the land a "ghost town," said, "It's probably the most underutilized piece of great real estate in Southern California. The unions regard it as their property, but there's so little activity; what goes on there easily can go on someplace else" (SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, 2/27).
