SAN DIEGO -- The idea of having two stadiums in one area has been done before in places like Pittsburgh and Baltimore.

Now, it could possibly happen in San Diego.

Plans are being discussed for a football stadium between Petco Park and 16th Street in San Diego's East Village, 10News reported.

Although the San Diego Chargers are interested in building a stadium in the area, there are no immediate plans.

However, the mere idea is more enticing than ever before.

The Chargers are still looking for a new stadium to call home, and the East Village has drawn the team's attention.

"There is a lot more talk about it around town than before, probably because land values have gone down," said Chargers' Special Counsel Mark Fabiani.

The team would also piggyback off the infrastructure already in place for Petco Park.

"You wouldn't have to build any roads, freeways, trolley stops, parking; it's all there," said Fabiani.

Fabiani told 10News the location and amenities could cut construction costs by roughly $300 million, but the team would still need to find 30 acres in this crowded area.

"It's going to be hard to find 30 acres that you can afford and that you can acquire without displacing people," said Fabiani.

Some nearby building are already empty, like an old Wonder Bread building built in 1884. But it could be the next Western Metal Supply building, only this time for a football stadium.

"We hear talk about it. People have given us ideas about it. We've looked at them. But at this time I think it's premature to say that's a realistic option," said Fabiani.

Seven years is a long time when you look at any project.

Fabiani told a group of developers and business people in La Jolla Tuesday that the Chargers are still focused on two sites in Chula Vista, including the bayfront power plant.

But Fabiani did admit the East Village was interesting.

"It's certainly something we have on our radar, no doubt about it," said Fabiani.
