Stories in the local media continue to refer to the San Diego Unified Port District's Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal as a possible site for a new Chargers' football stadium, but Port Commission Chairman Stephen P. Cushman said such a development is impossible.

"The Port Act of 1962 (pdf), which lays out the purposes for creating the Port District, clearly states that it is the policy of the State of California to develop ports for the benefit of the people of this state," Cushman said. "Specifically, the act says the Port District's purpose is to acquire, build, maintain and operate port facilities.

"As trustees of the Port District's terminal at 10th Avenue, we are committed to upholding that policy and responsibility," Cushman continued. "There is no way our working port and a football stadium can coexist at the Tenth Avenue facility. It is time for all idle speculation about such a development to stop."
