Mission Valley is at a crossroads. With the looming exit of the San Diego Chargers and politicians playing hot potato with development plans and initiatives, it’s hard to gauge what will happen with the Qualcomm Stadium site. Here’s what we know.

As of May 10th, 2016, more than 75% of states have held either presidential primaries or caucuses.
