The San Diego Chargers are a professional football team in the NFL. The Chargers have the ability to win a super bowl, but have yet to. They have been an established team for 56 years. Originally they were based out of Los Angeles in 1960 and ever since 1961 they were based out of San Diego. 55 years later they are seriously endangered of moving back to L.A. because Qualcomm stadium is out of date. I believe that we should create a new stadium for the Chargers to keep them here.

There are many upsides to building a new stadium. We have the possibility to make so much more revenue with a new stadium. If we do get a new stadium, we could get as much as $1.8 billion in return. This could result in new jobs, but currently there is no estimate of how many would be created. If we get a new stadium for the Chargers we will be in the running to host a Super Bowl, as Qualcomm doesn’t meet the NFL’s requirements to host a Super Bowl. We will also be able to hold many events as we have in the past such as, Supercross, Monster Jam, College football bowls, and so much more! Last year alone in Arizona during the super bowl the state boost of $500 million and Phoenix had a boost of $150 million.

As of today, May 5, 2014, the city of San Diego has denied at least a dozen stadium requests. A huge deal/problem with a new stadium is definitely the funding behind it. At a whopping $1.2 billion for a new stadium we would have to have almost half of it private funding, and the other half taxes, or public funding. This is a huge task but I feel that we are up to the task, because if they do leave we will take an enormous hit to the local economy.

As there are many pros to a new stadium there are also many cons. The fact is that we actually have a chance at losing the Chargers, and their revenue that they create. Another bad thing is the funding. Even though we’d get private funding for the stadium, it wouldn’t pay for the entire thing which would cause the public to pay through taxes, but not everyone who pays taxes watches football, or even likes the sport. It would have to go to a public vote and unless the entire county of San Diego voted it’s very likely that there would be no way of public funding. The new stadium (River Valley Stadium) would be put next to Qualcomm and be built while the Chargers continued to play in Qualcomm. After the River Valley Stadium is completed by 2018, Qualcomm would then be taken out and the surrounding area would be developed.

The SAN DIEGO Chargers need to stay in San Diego! The revenue that’s created from them is amazing,and if they left San Diego would be hurtin’ for certain. It is very important that Kevin Faulconer and Dean Spanos come to an agreement to get something finished and finalized to keep the Chargers in SD.

“Lion, Lion, what do you see?

“I see a Hippopotamus looking at me”

He can finally rest
He payed his dues
He fought for equality
He fought against what
wasn’t right

He spent 27 years in prison
fighting for what was important
At the end of the day he became
the president of South Africa
and what he’d achieved what
he’d been fighting for and now
He can finally rest

Life is like a maze
sometimes you
might get stuck
and frustrated and
happy and mad and sad 

There’s twists and turns
and maybe up’s and downs
the only way out is to
keep your head up
and try and try again

Life is good
life is great
who cares what
the haters think

Do what you want
and what you think
is right

Strive for the end
goal and if at first
you don’t succeed
try and try again

Just remember,
A quitter never
wins and a
winner never
quits

The door had just been broken down by the zombies. The men ran to the opposite end of the roof. The helicopter was coming closer but very slow it seemed like.

“We need to get their attention! Charles, get a mirror out of the survival bag, now!”

Charles went as fast as he could go while the four others and Tank fought off the zombies. Charles was in the zone. He put all the focus into finding the mirror, because he trusted his friends to keep him safe during his task. He found the mirror rather quickly.

“Guys, I got it!” yelled Charles sounding surprised that he actually found it

“Ok! Now go to the side of the building and try to get their attention by flashing the mirror at them, and please do it quickly!” yelled Jack while fighting off zombies.

Charles ran as fast as he could to the edge which wasn’t more than 50 feet away. He held the medium sized mirror above his head and began to wave it around. He did this for roughly 30 seconds before he saw the helo change directions and begin to head towards the rooftop they were on.

“Guys, he’s on his way over here and we still don’t know if he’ll kill us or rescue us. We will find out really soon,” yelled Charles over the loud fighting.

He didn’t hesitate to jump in and help the fighting. He went back to his bag, grabbed his weapon and jumped right in. At this time it was right above their heads. All of a sudden out of nowhere a long stream of bullets shot down just past their heads to the stairwell at the zombies. They all looked up and saw the helicopter shooting down and their jaws dropped in awe. It came closer to the roof maintaining the stream of bullets as a rope ladder dropped down.

“Let’s go guys!” yelled David as loud as he could, though he was very sure no one heard him.

They climbed up the ladder as fast as they could and then the helicopter began it’s journey through the air again. It was almost simultaneously, they all were knocked out like a sack of potatoes.

They were still in the helicopter but weren’t moving. A strange man walked over, “My name is Jeff and that’s what I’ll be called,” said the man in a deep Texan accent. “Where are y’all from and most importantly, what in the hell are y’all doing on the roof of that building?”

“Sir, my name is Jack, that’s Cole, Thomas, David, and Charles. We began our journey in Utah. After that we went to Colorado, then on a road trip up to Alaska we spent a few years there and went on another road trip and we ended up here.”

“Well, I’ll ask you more questions later, but until then goodnight,” and one by one each was kicked and knocked out cold.

Warm water and sunny skies
these are the things that make you mine
long days and short nights, make everything
alright 

The warm weather and ocean breeze
make life perfect for me
The sunsets are the mystery of every day
and they let us know when we can no
longer play 

The sand between your toes makes
the world and your problems
just disappear

You are like a tall and skinny man
You have picked yourself up through the tough
times and also lend a helping hand
You are like a water bear, the toughest animal
alive

My city is America’s Finest city
My city is San Diego

I am from good music,
from camping trips and long days
I am from the sight of every sunset
and the smell of Eucalyptus
I am from the smell of fresh Mexican food

I’m from early mornings and cartoons,
I’m from laughing all day
and sleeping all night

I’m from falling asleep on the couch
and mysteriously waking up in my bed
I’m from Gamecube and Windows XP
and the play structure with swings and a
sandbox

Warm and sunny
Like Hawaii usually is

Clark Little is at the
North shore beach

The water is clear and
The sand is soft and white

He relaxes on the shore waiting
With his camera for the
Summer swells to come and
Break on the shore
To get the perfect shot

After two years in Alaska they couldn’t afford the cabin for too much longer. The five of them decided to pool all their alcohol and any other crap they thought would be worth some value and piled it up to get an RV to tour the U.S. just for fun.

The one they’d purchased was big enough to sleep all five of them and Tank pretty comfortable. They were sad to leave Alaska, but they were so happy to see it go. It meant beginning another part of their lives in a crappy situation. They were going to have fun with this.

They went through Canada and down south, straight for southern California. They are going to SoCal because it is really one of the only places still left with good weather.  Along the way they passed through Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and after a very long time driving they arrived to their final destination, San Diego, CA.

They went through downtown. David had the bright idea of going into the tallest highrise in the city. The five of them mutually agreed to take a chance and go in. It wasn’t quite their brightest idea yet, but they decided why not? The building all five of them went into was the One America plaza. It was 500 feet tall and in the middle of downtown. There was the scattered homeless person here or there but other than that there was no one else to be found. The elevator didn’t work inside so they had to take all 34 floors to the roof using the stairs. They were only at the 12th floor when all of them except for Tank was wheezing.

“I can’t go on any further,” said Jack, barely able to get the words out.

“I don’t think any of us can. Let’s start heading back down,” replied Charles.

They began to go down stairs and as they got to the 10th floor they heard simultaneous moaning, like zombies getting louder and louder.

“Guys, what’s that? Is that a zom-”

“I hate to say it but I’m pretty sure that they are zombies Charles,” replied Thomas.

As fast as humanly possible they turned around and ran as fast as they could all the way to the top. It was the hardest they’ve worked out since the disease shocked the world. At the 30th floor, they stopped and the zombies ran faster and faster. They were less than 5 floors above them. Their only option at this point is to take the stairs to the roof. It was not a great option but it was their only option.

“Guys, get onto the roof and block the door with the heaviest stuff you can find. We will need it, that looks like a large horde of zombies. “ said David

They got to the top. The five of them all blocked the door with the heaviest thing they could find, and hid. The zombies easily broke through the door and flooded the roof. In the distance, they could hear a helicopter.
