 | | A 1995 deal between the Chargers and the city of San Diego under former Mayor Susan Golding was supposed to keep the team in town until 2020. |
 | | That vote never came about, as the team said in early 2006 that the city of San Diego's financial troubles, political strife and worries about the housing market killed a development package that called for the stadium to be privately financed, with the help of 60 acres of public land. |
 | | With the proposal dead, the San Diego City Council voted in May to amend its contract with the team and allow the Chargers to negotiate with other cities inside San Diego County, giving local parties a head-start on other suitors. |
