On the bright side (unlike the convention center expansion), this won't require 2/3 voter approval.
SoccerCity headed toward fall ballot; MLS will wait

The SoccerCity initiative to redevelop the Qualcomm Stadium site in Mission Valley should go on a likely special election ballot this fall, the project’s supporters said Tuesday.
FS Investors said it will ask the City Council to place the measure on a November ballot rather than ask for outright approval of the billion-dollar plan. It would appear on the same ballot as a measure, announced Monday, to raise the hotel-room tax to expand the San Diego Convention Center and generate funds for homeless programs and road improvements.
Mayor Kevin Faulconer is asking the council to set a special election for the tax measure.
The SoccerCity decision came after Major League Soccer said it would delay until after the vote the decision of which proposals for new franchises will be chosen among 12 bidders, according to La Jolla-based FS Investors, the official bidder for a San Diego team.
