Not sure why you decided to close your article with a comment from Herman. Quoting him as saying " it wouldn't happen anyway," was a disappointing and misleading close to the article. Being a resident from Escondido for over 20 years. I am excited about this possibility. I think it would be great for the city and the surrounding communities. I applaud the City of Escondido and the San Diego Chargers for exploring this alternative. I hope we can make it work.

Look what happened to that "dump" called Glendale in Arizona. It's a beutiful, vibrant part of the region. A city that's already held a Super Bowl. Escondido should exhaust every possibility to get the stadium to Econdido. The financial impact it would make to the city couldn't be measured.

The Chargers would bring something to this city that none of these other business have brought, and that's class. Having a new and active stadium to the city would bring new jobs and income to the city and not only that, it would bring up the value of everything surrounding it. When people outside of Escondido even hear the word Escondido they think of it as a dump, and that's because of the businesses like these that don't contribute to the city.
