Las Vegas mayor says Chargers are in pla

If Las Vegas can't work things out with the , then the city has a backup plan: Andy Dalton Jersey The . Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman revealed on Thursday that her city views the Chargers as Plan B if the Raiders end up staying in Oakland. During an interview on , Goodman was asked directly if she thought a Chargers move to Vegas was an option. "To me, yes," Goodman said. "I know they're absolutely looking to move." The mayor then pointed out that she has personal ties to the Chargers and the Chargers have personal ties to Vegas. "My husband and Jesper Horsted Jersey I have had season tickets to the Chargers for the past 30-plus years and I would love for them to move here ," Goodman said. " Chargers owner Alex Spanos already has a relationship with the city, he was a developer for us in the '70s and '80s." Before anyone in San Diego starts panicking, do keep in mind that about a zillion things would have to happen before a Chargers move to Vegas would even be considered. First, Vegas would have to Brian Urlacher Jersey approve funding for a new stadium. Second, the Raiders would have to magically get something done in Oakland, a city that has made it clear that it won't be offering any public money toward a new stadium. If the Raiders remain in the Bay Area and Vegas approves stadium funding, that means Sin City would have an NFL-caliber stadium with no NFL team. And even if that happens, that still doesn't mean the Chargers would move. At that point, the only way the Chargers for the team's by voters in November. The team has to collect 66,447 valid signatures by June to get the stadium funding initiative on the ballot in November. If the team gathers the appropriate amount of signatures, then Khalil Mack Jersey San Diegans will get to vote on the new stadium. If the initiative pa ses, San Diego's hotel room tax would jump up four percent, which would help pay for the $1.8 billion stadium/convention center project. If the initiative were to fail, then the Chargers would likely to move to Los Angeles, unle s everything mentioned above also miraculously Jimmy Graham Jersey happened, then the team would have the option of Las Vegas. One more thing to keep in mind for Chargers fans: Goodman as already said the Raiders will end up in Vegas. In Vegas terms, a Chargers move to Sin City is probably something you shouldn't bet on.
