The hits keep on coming for the city of San Diego. First, it loses its beloved football team of 56 seasons, and now its taxpayers are on the hook for the remaining debt for the expansion deal of Qualcomm Stadium and Chargers Park signed off on in the 1990s by former Mayor Susan Golding, per the San Diego Union-Tribune.

The remaining debt left on the note is up to $45 million, which will be paid off from now until 2027.

Now that the Chargers have bolted for Los Angeles, the city is left with only one tenant for Qualcomm, and some San Diego City Council members see no use for Chargers Park, per Tom Krasovic.
