Residents of San Diego will today vote on whether or not to build a new stadium for the Chargers. The outcome could have wide reaching effects on the future of the franchise, with a possibility of moving the team out of the city if the proposals are rejected. It has been a confusing process from the start, and any outcome is likely to offer more questions than firm answers. However, this is what we know so far. WATCH: Graham hurdles defender Jimmy Graham scored two touchdowns in week nine but it was his hurdle that caught the eye. What is the proposal? Ballot Measure C - the official name for the vote proposes that a new, Super Bowl ready stadium would be built to replace the ageing Qualcomm Stadium, the current home of the San Diego Chargers.The facility would also be used as a trade centre and music venue, available 300 days a year, according to team executives.The stadium would require $1.8 billion, raised by increasing the hotel taxes from 12.5 per cent to 16.5 per cent, as well as $650m pledged by the NFL and Chargers owner Dean Spanos.There is also a separate proposal - Ballot Measure D - which, if passed, gives the Chargers organisation the right to build the stadium but without any public funds. This measure would still raise taxes on hotel occupation, to be used for the construction of the convention centre. Chargers fans have been kept in the dark regarding the franchises future What are the conditions of the vote?To pass, there must be a two-thirds majority in favour of the Chargers stadium plans. However there is potential that, should over 50 per cent of the public vote yes, this may be enough, as the Californian Supreme Court can lower the voting threshold.Who is for/against?Obviously the Chargers are pushing for the move, but they have garnered the support of Mayor Kevin Faulconer. Measure C is also backed by the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce and Downtown San Diego Partnership. The San Diego Taxpayers Association is staunchly against the proposal, claiming that Spanos has spent $5m on a popularity campaign. Current opinion polls would indicate that only 45 per cent of voters would approve Measure C, which would not be enough for a stadium change in the city. Opinion polls suggest only 45 per cent of residents will vote in favour of a new stadium What are the potential outcomes?If the majority is achieved, the Chargers would look to build a stadium in East Village, the largest urban neighbourhood in Downtown San Diego. The increase in tax is predicted to raise $1.15 billion, enough to cover the remainder of the stadiums bill. If the proposals are rejected, but still achieve over 50 per cent of votes, the franchise may look to take legal action and force the bill through.Lower than a 50 per cent result and the chances of the organisation leaving the city increases dramatically. The Chargers have the option of joining the Rams in Los Angeles, but this would need to be agreed by January 2017, and it is clear that a ground share would be neither sides preference. The Chargers have a loyal fan base in San Diego, and a move to a new city would likely mean starting again Moving in with the Oakland Raiders is also an option, as is replacing the Raiders if they were to go Las Vegas. There is even the outside possibility that the Raiders could end up in San Diego if the Chargers left for Los Angeles. However a rejection of the vote doesnt confirm the team moving. They have a contract in Qualcomm until 2020, and even then could negotiate a rolling deal to stay, if it proved to be the best option in the short term.Ultimately the decision is still up in the air, whatever the vote. However the outcome will provide an important gauge for Spanos on the future of the NFL in San Diego.

CHICAGO -- Jorge Soler has made the Chicago Cubs lineup deeper by going deep.Soler, who hit a three-run home run to lead Chicago to a 6-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday night, has hit seven home runs in seven starts since coming off the disabled list in early August. Hes hitting .379 in 10 games over that stretch.When Jorge is in there it makes a deep, long lineup, said Cubs catcher David Ross, who hit a solo home run as the Cubs won their third straight and 17th in 20 games.When he was out ... the lineup was shortened, you know, once you get past a certain guy, its a little easier to navigate the lineup, Ross said.Hitting in the sixth spot, Soler sent Milwaukee starter Jimmy Nelsons 2-2 pitch far over the wall in left-center field, depositing it just under the videoboard atop the stands.The homer capped a five-run first inning after RBI singles by Ben Zobrist and Addison Russell.That made for an easy night for Cubs starter Jon Lester (13-4), who got his fourth straight win, giving up one run and three hits in 6 2/3 innings while striking out seven. He hasnt lost since July 3.You get five runs after the bottom of the first, it kind of relaxes you, you dont have to grind as much, Lester said.Lester and the rest of the Cubs starting pitchers have been magnificent, going 11-0 in August, with Chicagos only two losses being hung on relievers. But Lester credited the offense for the starters success.It makes our lives as pitchers a lot easier when theyre consistent, and doing what theyve been doing pretty much the whole year for us, Lester said. We just kind of go about our business after what they do.Nelson (6-13) walked leadoff batter Dexter Fowler then hit Kris Bryant with a pitch to begin the first. Then came Solers home run.Cubs manager Joe Maddon said Soler has worked on staying patient since coming back from the DL.Hes really staying in the zone, Maddon said.Carl Edwards Jr. and Travis Wood combined for 2 1/3 innings of scoreless relief for the Cubs.Nelson is 1-10 over his last 14 starts.Milwaukee rarely threatened Lester. The Brewers got a run in the sixth when Keon Broxton singled, then stole two bases before scoring on a groundout byy Orlando Arcia.dddddddddddd Milwaukee loaded the bases on two singles and a walk in the second inning, but Lester got Nelson to ground into an inning-ending forceout.The loss was the fifth in six games for the Brewers.Were having a tough go of it putting together offense, Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell said. But theres no breaks, no quit. We just keep going at it.LA STELLA RETURNSCubs INF Tommy La Stella will report to Double-A Tennessee, and Maddon said he hopes La Stella will be back with the big league team by early September. La Stella was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on July 29, but refused to report, and the Cubs placed him on the temporary inactive list on Aug. 9. La Stella reportedly said he was contemplating retirement. Hes reported to Double-A, and moving on up to Triple-A, and hell be back here probably by the first of September, Maddon said before the game. La Stella, 27, was hitting .295 in 51 games for the Cubs this season before the demotion.TRAINERS ROOMBrewers: OF Ryan Braun is day-to-day after crashing into a wall at Wrigley Field on Tuesday. Braun injured his left knee and ankle and was out of the lineup Wednesday. Braun and Counsell said he might be ready to play Thursday in Chicago and is expected to play over the weekend in Seattle. ... RHP Chase Anderson, who was hit in the left quadriceps by Bryants comebacker Tuesday, said he felt much better and would play light catch and evaluate from there. Counsell said Anderson might be well enough to start in the Brewers three-game series in Seattle.Cubs: OF Chris Coghlan was placed on the 15-day DL on Wednesday with a right rib contusion. ... RHP Joe Smith was placed on the 15-day DL with a left hamstring strain. The sidearm reliever said he didnt feel right during his ninth-inning appearance on Tuesday, when he walked two of the three hitters he faced, and that it might be a recurrence of an injury from May.UP NEXT:The Cubs send RHP Jake Arrieta (14-5, 2.55) to the mound for the series finale on Thursday. RHP Zach Davies (9-5, 3.80) will pitch for the Brewers. ' ' '
