    Spanos needs to get creative, but he did not buy the team through creativity as a businessman, he inherited the team. So i doubt he has what it takes.

    Browns went to Baltimore and became Ravens.
    Chargers should have went to LA and became the Dragons or something else. Left the Chargers in San Diego.

    Then during year 1 , all the San Diego Chargers mis speak by announcers and the new HC would not have happened...because no one would have been thinking Chargers. There would be no Charger helmet or Jersey to look at and accidentally say San Diego Chargers. Everytime that happened, it was sad. Nobody wants to be a part of sad & old and buy season ticket for some other City's team.

    But if it had a Dragon or something else on the helmet. It would be easier for LA football fans to think we have a new football team for our city. And new is exciting.

    Spanos has a history of very questionable football decisions. And as of yet none of the decisions have led to a championship. Team has a history of most talented team to not make postseason. A Top QB not able to make Superbowl. Chargers are gonna Charger as long as Spanos is in Charge of her.

Of course the loyal fans like us will always be there, but there are simply not enough of those when you have all the attractions of so cal availabe. You have to build some legacy. At least one championship in LA is required IMO.

      The other side is cost of tickets and opposing fans willing to pay much more than the locals for the tickets. Brokers know this too. There is profit to be made.

      So the real question is '' do the Spanos have what it takes to build a winner ''? So far the answer seems to be that they have come close but have proven they can't get us over the hump.
      I do agree with this.
      A Championship or multiple Championships are needed to capture some of the LA Market.
      Like it or not SD is a loser sports city. LA is not. The Bolts need to win one Championship or maybe 2 in the next 3-5 years to become a "player" in the LA sports market.

      SoCal is not like Cleveland, KC, GB, Pitt, Buffalo, Baltimore, etc.

        You mean teams that already won championships.
        And you mean 75 years ago when major sports 1st moved in to LA.

        I would expect if there was already NBA & MLB teams, the Dodgers & Lakers would not have been as welcomed.

        Not exactly the same thing.
        Chargers are like the Clippers. No Championships.
        LA did not want them and they are a tenat with the more popular team.

        Chargers could move to a city that never had NFL and then they would be closer to what the Lakers did.
        Who has it better than us?

          Been lurking here but the Chargers have little following in LA. If the Rams win a SB, and they seemed better positioned to do so, then the Chargers will become even more irrelevant in the city than they are already are. I do think the league wishes they could go back in time and have done more to ensure the Chargers stayed in San Diego but I don't see a way out for them now. Spanos is stuck in LA and the league s stuck with the Chargers in LA. Once they move to the big stadium at least there will not be any blimp shots to show how poorly their games are attended. Per the agreement, Spanos cannot sell the team for 10 years after the move and the window to a return to SD is closing rather quickly with the SDSU West project.

            Yeah, well, maybe...just maybe the NFL owners shouldn't have approved the move.

            Greedy morons.

              BUT.....every new stadium that has been built;t has been sold out its first few years just because its the "hip" place to go eat and drink even if the teams suck.....
              Rams have never won a Superbowl for LA from my recollection. If Rams win it, chargers are screwed in the LA market IMO.

                Excellent points.

                We are definitely the clippers as opposed to the Lakers. Diego is a curse for franchise start ups.

                    The Chargers have trouble selling out a 27k seat stadium coming off a 12-4 season with a playoff win. Imagine if the crap we are seeing on the field continues and we end up around .500. It will be ugly and we'll see how the league responds to 40k crowds when 25k are fans of the opposing team.

                      The entire LA move has been a garbage fire from day one. From the stupid marketing slogan to the terrible environment at the soccer stadium and everything in between. LA sports fans could give a shit about the Chargers and the way they piss away games isn't making new fan's.

                          Rams are easy to like. Dynamic young coach and GM. Franchise an in place. Best d lineman in the game. Solid group of receivers. Imaginative offense.
