Ok. I don't know anything about this measure. But couldn't you just raise the hotel tax and have that go to the City in the first place? So if you sent that revenue to the Charger's owners, San Diego citizens are still paying more tax than they would/could otherwise.
Granted, for the 8 home games a year you might have a few more hotel rentals and there may be other upsides. Still smells like a subsidy to me.
