Measure To Give Chargers New Stadium Losing, Could Make Way For LA Relocation

SAN DIEGO (CBSLA.com) — Los Angeles now has the Rams and could soon have a second NFL team.

Voters in San Diego are deciding on a measure that would fund a new stadium for the Chargers.

If the Chargers don't get approval for a new stadium they will likely seek relocation to Los Angeles and move in with the Rams when the stadium in Inglewood is ready.

As of 11 p.m. Tuesday Measure C, which would increase a hotel-tax increase sponsored by the Chargers, was getting support from 39 percent of voters. The measure needed  to reach 66.7 percent for approval, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

Measure D, which also had a hotel-tax increase and was placed on the ballot by environmentalists and other community leaders, was getting support from 40 percent, also well short of a two-thirds majority, according to the Union-Tribune.

CBSLA's Stacey Butler reported from a "Save The Bolts" party where it didn't look good.
