Coach · 09:58 PM

And on first day they were eligible to file their relocation application, the San Diego Chargers have done just that. Filed papers today.

I haven't paid that close of attention to this - is the stadium in L.A. completely done and ready to go? And is it pretty much a done deal that two teams will move and share the place, or are there other scenarios out there?

There has been some scenarios out there, one I hear occasionally is SD and Oakland moving, and one of them may have to relocate to the NFC West.

Kroenke cannot be bargained with, he can't be reasoned with, doesn't feel pity, remorse or fear. And he absolutely will not stop.

No stadium is complete. They have two stadium sites. One is being developed by the Rams. The other is a joint venture between the Chargers/Raiders. They need two teams there because of the NFL tv deal. AFC/NFC can both have access to #2 market.

no way? how far is Buffalo from NY/ new jersey?

2 basketball teams,2 baseball teams,two hockey teams. ( Anaheim isnt far from LA)

an hour away from San Diego.

no fans need to show up as long as tv money is there.
Thats how Tampa, Jacksonville, Miami,Detroit, Atlanta, New Orleans still make money.

Santa Clara split that market.

San Diego is a beautiful place. Much better than LA. I can see the Faders wanting to get out of the shithole that is Oakland-but they chose it, so **** them. Same with the Lambs.

Way on the other side of New York. It is closer to Pittsburgh than NYC.

All San Diego had to do was build a stadium. All Oakland had to do was build a stadium. All St. Louis had to do was notice they had a football team.

I believe that San Diego wants to build a stadium but Spanos wants the hell out.

ModSocks · 01-04-2016, 10:23 PM

The casual Charger fans i know seem indifferent. Imo, it doesn't feel like anyone really cares. I'll poke fun at them about losing the team and their reaction is usually "yeah..".

But then again, it has to be a brutal time to be a charger fan. After that shit show of a season and this relocation charade, it must be really hard to give a shit anymore.

Im curious to see how many will attend games next season.

its full of military and retired people

Shekelsteinberg · 01-04-2016, 10:24 PM

Can anyone give me a good reason on why any team other than the Raiders are moving?

I can't see it being any other team. They were sold off when Santa Clara got okay'd.

Yep Lamb fans jumped off the bandwagon right after the Greatest Show on turf retired. I will miss Arrowhead East though. That was a great Chiefs game there-had a blast!
