Good morning.

San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer and San Diego County Board of Supervisors Dianne Jacob and Ron Roberts will announce on Thursday that the two government bodies have joined forces to work collaboratively and explore financing options for a new Chargers stadium.

The group will hold a news conference at 3:30 p.m ET.

This is a positive step, after NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said during his news conference with reporters on Wednesday that he felt San Diego was taking a more aggressive approach with the city’s stadium effort.

Goodell said he spoke with Faulconer a few weeks ago.

“He’s put a very aggressive time frame forward to try and get a solution,” Goodell said. “I think that’s a positive step. And I encourage him to continue down that path.”
