Chargers Maybe Moving

[OregonLAA]

I am really getting the feeling that the Chargers are moving to LA. A lot of talk by players, writers and coaches about the fans in San Diego. It just seems like it's going to happen.

What are you guys thoughts?

And what do you think LA response will be like? I know many of you have teams already. I see a lot of benefits, but I also see a lot of bad. Just wondering what you guys think

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

I think it is inevitable they will move to LA. I'm okay with it, what would they call themselves? Los Angeles Chargers?

[OregonLAA]

A benefit would be that all my gear would instantly become throwback gear

[Hollyw00d]

They've been taking about this for over a decade now.

I'll believe it when I see it

They did have previous L.A. history as well.

But it was back in 1960, the first AFL season, and followed immediately by moving to Balboa Stadium (yes, in Balboa Park) in 1961.

Send the Rams first! Then if you can't get them, then bring the Chargers, but only because of dedicating it to Mike's memory would I become permanently a Chargers fan 2ndary after always staying a Rams fan.

Pro football in LA just won't work.  Give it up, NFL.  It's not gonna happen.

I hope it's the rams imo. Doesn't their owner own land on the old hollywood park

Ya I've read some owners want 2 teams here

Normally I wouldn't be one to advocate much public financing for a stadium but as a city losing out on being a preferred spot in the Super Bowl rotation will have to hurt. You'd think the city/region could offer up at least something that could compete with zero public financing in LA.

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

My thoughts are that if they move to LA it won't impact how many games I go to a year but to be fair I go to about one game every two years.  The biggest reason I go to Chargers games is to see the team they're playing and the second biggest reason is to turn it into a day/night trip and stay in SD.  Nothing about LA makes me want to stay there or turn a sporting event into a weekend trip.

[Hollyw00d]

Whales vagina is a better city than la, I can admit that

[Thomas]

Not next year.

[Angel Oracle]

Is Qualcomm really in that bad of shape, where one more renovation wouldn't do any good?

It's comparable to the oakland Alameda

[Hollyw00d]

Its worse imo, its really an ugly piece of crap

[Tank]

1. i don't really have any interest in having another team in LA.

2. if/when another team moves here, i have no idea if i'll support them.

3. i don't really care which team moves here as long as it's not the raiders.

[Angel Oracle]

1. Rams

2. Chargers

 

Anyone else, especially the Jags?    Ack! Ack!

[nando714]

No team will be moving in 2015.

[OregonLAA]

Nice to see that they're not moving. They really need to come to a solution with a new stadium in San Diego. The fans and players shouldn't have this hanging over their heads year after year

That is what they originally were in the early days of the American Football League.

[Angel Oracle]

Two teams won't work here.

But it's criminal to have NO teams in the second largest market.

Probably will be for 2016. StL will have one more shot to work out a deal and new stadium will be on the ballot in Inglewood on 2015.

No teams are moving in 2015. 2016 probably per the iron fist Godell
