The San Diego Chargers are expected to exercise the team's option to move to
Los Angeles in 2017.
電光隊被不少人預期會執行明年遷移至洛杉磯的球隊選擇權
During the NFL owners meetings in January, in which the league approved the
relocation of the Rams to Los Angeles, the Chargers were granted the option
to relocate to L.A. with a deadline of Jan. 15, 2017.
這項選擇權是因為今年年初的球團老闆會議而產生的。在當時，聯盟通過了公羊搬家至
LA的申請，也給予了電光在一年內動用選擇權將主場遷移到LA的權益–這個選擇權預計
將在明年1月15日到期
The Chargers received only 43 percent approval on Measure C in November, the
team's $1.8 billion plan that proposed raising hotel taxes from 12.5 percent
to 16.5 percent to secure $1.15 billion in bonds to help pay for the stadium
project.
電光在上個月與總統大選同時舉辦的聖地牙哥新球場方案公投中，只獲得了聖城市民
43%的選票。這個又被稱作Measure C的新球場方案，其提議就是將市內的旅館稅率
提升4%至16.5，使還在規劃中的新球場可以募集到11.5億美金的施工費–不過據估計
聖城的新球場一旦正式動工，總預算仍將達到18億。
"Dean has said that he wants everyone to be able to focus on the remainder of
the Chargers' season, and so won't be making any final decisions until after
the season is over," said Mark Fabiani, the point person on the stadium
situation for the Chargers. "That hasn't changed."
電光的顧問律師，也是近期電光新球場狀況的關鍵人物Mark Fabiani，在接受記者訪問
相關問題時表示︰「電光老闆Dean Spanos曾經跟我說他希望所有人都把焦點集中在球
隊在球季剩下的比賽，所以他在例行賽結束後才會做出(球場議題的)最終決定。這一點
他未曾變更過」
