Chargers think L.A. proposal has doable components

When Kroenke proposed building the Inglewood stadium about a year ago, the Chargers and Raiders responded by announcing plans to construct the Carson facility. And the Oakland Raiders folded their bid for the City of Angels, but the team’s final destination remains in flux.

It’s unclear if the Rams will change their uniforms or logos in any way, but needless to say their fans in St. Louis aren’t pleased that they’re being abandoned.

Three teams – and three powerful owners – were vying for one or two spots for teams in Los Angeles.

“I think that’s bad, that’s a lot of traffic”, said Jose Esquivel of Tom’s Jr. He believes the only missing piece of the puzzle is whether San Antonio can guarantee a new stadium – which is part of the deal wherever the Raiders choose to move. “Chargers vetting it now and barring anything unforeseen, plan on going to LA”.

The Raiders were already in the only remaining two-sport stadium in the NFL, but now with the Chargers getting their choice of a new stadium either in San Diego or Inglewood, the Raiders will have the most embarrassing stadium situation in the league.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said he expects Chargers chairman Dean Spanos to “make a relatively quick decision knowing that he’s got to make some decisions coming up for the 2016 season”.

Last week, the St. Louis Rams, Oakland Raiders, and San Diego Chargers all filed for relocation to Los Angeles, which hasn’t had an National Football League team since 1994.

The Los Angeles Coliseum has been tabbed as the Rams’ temporary home, and it should eventually serve as the Chargers’ abode should Spanos decide it’s in the franchise’s best interest to move up the coast. Just hours later, there were media reports of a potential “framework” agreement in the works that would have the Chargers moving to Los Angeles this year. What’s happening, all you Lutherans from St. Louis? Faulconer said he has reached out to Spanos to meet sometime soon, but he hasn’t heard from the Chargers owner following the owners’ decision handed down Tuesday. “…We’ll see where the Raider Nation ends up here”. The Inglewood site is where Kroenke plans a $1.86 billion stadium expected to open in 2019. “We’ll get it right”. “It’s part of the fabric of who we are”.

Kroenke, a land developer with the second highest net worth among the NFL’s 32 owners, is considered an astute businessman who could bring a winning product to California.

There are still many details to be answered, but Los Angeles fans are excited. Finding a home for a second team could prove more hard, although the coliseum is a possibility.

Iger said the time to act was now, and that the teams had all come to a point where patience will not be tolerated by fans in existing home markets.
