Awkward title, or I just have a knack for getting things wrong: I thought they were trying to measure the stadium, like it needed new drapes or something.
You are right, it is an awkward title. I did copy it straight from the newspaper's website. It is referring to a ballot measure - the voters of the City of San Diego need to approve the new visitor taxes to build a new stadium to benefit the NFL Chargers (the team that owner Dean Spanos has been telling us for years really should be the Los Angeles Chargers.)
