Debunking Myths about NFL Stadium Construction

Scott Lewis writes a columned aimed at dispelling myths surrounding the development of a new NFL stadium to house the Chargers in San Diego. "Every time I talk about this story, whether on the radio, at a party or on Twitter, the same simple responses come up. Here’s why we need to retire the most common ones," writes Lewis.

The four myths Lewis tackles:

• "Why don’t they get a bunch of private investors to pay for a new stadium?"
• "The fans who care about football can pay for it."
• "They can combine it with a soccer stadium. (Or the Olympics!) Or the Convention Center."
• "We’ll get Super Bowls regularly if we build it."
