City Sues Chargers

The San Diego City Attorney said the city expects to quickly settle a breach-of-contract suit it filed against the Chargers.
 
The suit claims the team owes the city more than $170,000 for use of Qualcomm Stadium in 2004.
 
City attorney Jan Goldsmith said the suit was filed just days before the four-year statute of limitations expired. Goldsmith said the matter should have been handled years ago.
 
According to the lawsuit, the team underpaid the city by $125,795 in 2004 as a result of the Chargers claiming skybox rent credits that were previously disallowed by the city for the 1996 through 2000 seasons. The city is also seeking more than $44,000 in accrued interest.
