San Diego mayor, Chiefs owner will meet to talk Chargers stadium


Keep your friends close and your enemies closer -- especially when it comes to stadium politics.

San Diego mayor Kevin Faulconer will meet with the owner of a hated Chargers rival if it helps to keep the team in town.

So, he'll chat up Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt in an attempt to sway his relocation allegiances when he comes to town this weekend, according to U-T San Diego's David Garrick.

"It’s an opportunity to speak directly and have the ability to answer questions and share information," Faulconer told Garrick, adding that there’s no substitute for face-to-face contact.

Faulconer's battle might be the most contested one in San Diego this weekend. He'll have to go a long way to convince Hunt and his owner contemporaries to abandon the leading candidate for Los Angeles relocation.

He's prepared to go the extra mile. Hunt will be the fifth member of the NFL’s committee on Los Angeles opportunities that Faulconer has met with individually.

Time will tell if his face-to-face meetings will trump the NFL's desire to return to L.A.

Would this be like Mayor Slay meeting with Jerry Jones?

Nice to see. If Peacock is meeting with owners of the LA Committee as he says he is, nice to see they will meet with San Diego as well.

Has this somehow been established? One thing for sure, the pot is getting stirred.

That has been the general take, since the Iger announcement... although I'm not sold on it.

Me either. How does Iger really change much since he'd have to delegate in the crucial first few years and has a possible COI in planning Carson but owner of only one of the teams (that could be a stretch).
Kroenke comes up with the NFL Disneyland and Carson goes and makes a deal with a Disney exec. Almost seems patronizing.

I've never been sold on it
