Good morning. John Kentera of The Mighty 1090 AM radio talked with citizens’ stadium advisory group chairman Adam Day, who said according to security at Qualcomm Stadium, 2-3,000 fans attended the rally and public forum Monday evening.  You can listen to that conversation here.
Now that the forum is over, Day said the group will turn its focus toward choosing a location to recommend to San Diego mayor Kevin Faulconer. The group will meet again on Tuesday. “I think the overwhelming testimony heard here tonight was to build a facility at this existing location,” Day said. “We did hear some suggestions for a downtown site. But no matter what, the consensus was 100 percent they don’t want the Chargers to leave San Diego obviously, and neither do we.
“We want to find a way to build a multi-use facility that will work well for the Chargers, Aztecs football and all sorts of other civic events.” Bernie Wilson of The Associated Press notes that several hundred more fans watched the forum on video screens in Qualcomm Stadium’s plaza because there was not enough room in the club suite. Jay Paris of The Mighty 1090 AM radio writes that the community that absorbed talk of stadiums being erected in Los Angeles for their team answered back on Monday.
