SAN DIEGO - Former NFL executive Jim Steeg, who was in charge of running the Super Bowl for 26 years, is among nine civic, business and real estate leaders appointed by Mayor Kevin Faulconer to an independent advisory group tasked with trying to solve the contentious issue of building a new stadium to keep the Chargers in San Diego.This is likely the citys last chance to keep the Chargers, who could move to Los Angeles if a new stadium is built there.Faulconer said Friday that he wants the advisory group to recommend whether to put a new stadium downtown near Petco Park, home of the Padres, or at the current site of aging Qualcomm Stadium in Mission Valley, and to develop a financing plan that can be approved by voters.Faulconer will review the recommendations, which he wants by the fall, and finalize a plan to put on the November 2016 ballot.The Chargers have pushed for a new stadium since 2002, just five years after Qualcomm was expanded.Steeg, who has lived in San Diego for 10 years and helped put on the three Super Bowls played here, believes the group can devise a plan the voters will pass.Were past the point of debating whys and wherefores. Now its, lets come up with a plan, present a plan to get it done, said Steeg, who worked for the Chargers from 2004-2010.To me, one of the things thats kind of been missing in the community is political will, and the mayor has it, Steeg said.Steeg is considered by many as the person most responsible for developing the Super Bowl into the spectacle it is today. He also helped the NHL stage outdoor games at Dodger Stadium and Chicagos Soldier Field, and was a consultant for the first Pac-12 Conference football championship game.Faulconer was elected not quite a year ago to finish the term of Bob Filner, who resigned after less than nine months on the job amid a torrent of sexual harassment allegations.Faulconer told the advisory group he wants a good and fair deal for San Diego taxpayers.During his pre-Super Bowl news conference in Phoenix, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said building a new stadium for the Chargers is a shared responsibility and something that we need to see tangible results sooner rather than later.The Chargers push for a new stadium has coincided with various political and financial upheavals at City Hall. Qualcomm Stadium has fallen into disrepair and lacks the modern amenities the team says it needs to compete financially with other teams.The problem hasnt been tackled. Thats just clear, Faulconer said. Sometimes its easy to put off things, right? At the same time, we cant. I believe its imperative that we get this group together now and we have a real plan this year.Lets be honest: At no point in San Diegos history has the possibility of the Chargers moving to L.A. been more real, the mayor said. Its time for us as a community to come together to decide the future of the Chargers in San Diego. I know we can do that.Although the Chargers have floated various proposals and scouted sites in neighbouring cities, Faulconer said, Were going to have a real, tangible plan for a new stadium for the first time. San Diegans are going to be able to see it, feel it, kick the tires and, in the end, voters will have the final say.Adding to the urgency was the recent announcement that St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke is part of a joint venture that wants to build an 80,000-seat stadium in the L.A. suburb of Inglewood.The Chargers had a lukewarm response to Faulconers announcement. Team spokesman Mark Fabiani said in a statement that the Chargers would be happy to share their previous proposals with the new group.The Chargers most recent proposal was to build a stadium downtown as part of a non-contiguous expansion of the convention centre. A financing plan for a contiguous expansion favoured by convention centre officials and downtown hoteliers was recently struck down in court.Following Faulconers State of the City address two weeks ago, Fabiani criticized the mayor for calling for another task force.Previous task forces were larger and more politically focused. This group is more business-oriented.___Follow Bernie Wilson on Twitter at http://twitter.com/berniewilson___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFLWholesale Chiefs Jerseys China .

Jorien ter Mors set an Olympic-record time of one minute 53.51 seconds to win her first Olympic gold medal. Ter Mors just missed a short track medal Saturday, finishing fourth in the 1,500m. "It is bizarre that I can do this," said Ter Mors, who had to wait nearly an hour to know the gold was assured after skating in the ninth of 18 pairings. Veteran Ireen Wust failed to defend her Olympic title but still managed to win silver in 1:54.09. Wust now has six Olympic medals, including three gold and a victory in the womens 3000m in Sochi. "I admit Im a bit ticked," Wust said. "I had [a gold medal] in me. Maybe I was too keen, too concerned about lap times. You have got to be loose out there on the ice, and then the lap times will come. But I dont begrudge Jorien the gold." Lotte van Beek made it a 1-2-3 Dutch finish with a time of 1:54.54. The Dutch team actually had the top-four skaters as Marrit Leenstra finished with a time of 1:56.40. The Netherlands has dominated the proceedings, taking five gold and 16 medals so far in only eight races, eclipsing the record set by East Germany in the 1988 Games in Calgary. It also as swept events in the mens 500 and 5,000m in Sochi. No Canadian women were able to crack the top 10. Reginas Kali Christ plaaced 16th in 1:53.dddddddddddd51. Christine Nesbitt, of London, Ont., finished 17th with a time of 1:58.67, Winnipegs Brittany Schussler was 26th in 2:00.65, while Brianne Tutt of Calgary, ended up 35th in 2:03.69. It was another disappointing event for Nesbitt, who finished ninth in the 1,000m — her signature event — on Thursday. Nesbitt won gold in that distance at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. She was the 1,500m world champion in 2012, and dominated the World Cup circuit two years ago. But injuries, a battle with coeliac disease and admittedly feeling the pressure of defending Olympic gold have all contributed to Nesbitts dismal season, where she failed to medal in any of the World Cup events. "I think one of the hardest things about winning is that because youve done it once people expect you do it again and again and again," said Kristina Groves, CBC Sports speed skating analyst and four-time Olympic medallist. "I think they forget how hard it is to do that. Nesbitt has had some struggles with injuries, with coeliac disease and that takes a toll over time. But I think she should be proud of this race. I know she was probably expected more but shes been through so much this season. "I thought she looked solid, just a little slow tempo toward the end. I think she should be proud of herself for coming here and giving herself the best chance she possibly could to win a medal for Canada."
