        Spanos is making a lot of money in LA as we speak.

          The league would deserve the flop that would occur if they did this.

            I have a question though.

            The Chargers have not even settled in to the original plan and home which is a waiting game till the stadium is built. So why are people stirring the pot when we are obviously rebuilding and still relocating for the 2020 season?

            Because for some people it's their purpose in life.

            The higher Charger SSLs was a Kroenke gamble that didn't work as hoped and now that the Chargers are marketing to a more family friendly price point the Charger season ticket sales at SoFi are running roughly even with the Rams. They are selling a lot more of the 4 seat packages vs. 2 seat packages then expected.

            To think that Kroenke organization didn't plan for all possible marketing outcomes is ridiculous. The Chargers will plan at SoFi until at least 2060.

            Sofi is going to be awesome, Go Chargers!

              London Chargers, baby! Bring it on!
              That stadium in Tottenham would sell out for YEARS in advance. There'd be FAR more appreciation of the Bolts here in the Big Smoke than they will EVER have in that cess pit to the north.

                Tom Telesco’s Results in 9 years as Chargers GM:

                - 69-74 record
                - 0 division titles in 9 yrs as GM
                - Worst record among all active GMs with same tenure
                - 6th worst winning percentage among all active GMs overall
                - 2 playoff wins despite elite QB all 9 yrs
                - Team still has the same weaknesses (Oline and run defense) that it had when hired as GM in 2013
                - Consistently puts together horrible depth, expects starters to never miss games

                  Spanos is just pissed because this story brings his incompetence to the forefront again.

                  Not that anyone needs a reminder or anything.

                    NFL teams deserve to be in the US ONLY! It's an American game. The logistics make zero sense. Amazing how the snooty EAST Coast based NFL headquarters, media, etc have no problem with the moving Chargers over there...... its same distance for east coast teams to travel as flying out to west coast........ so it does not hurt the most popular east coast teams like NFGC East and NE.........

                    it only screws the less popular teams living out west...... and whatever team gets stuck in london......

                    NFL should just have a separate league in europe ....

                    The NFL can still sell sunday ticket packages to europe ands rest off the world...... just like some Americans pay to get programming from their home countries.....

                    If Chargers move, it should be back into san diego where they belong!...... in mission valley...... we should have approved the mission valley stadium proposal, which was near freeways, trolley, etc, and Chargers should be playing in old stadium until new one is built.....

                    That way SD gets multiple super bowls....... has a great venue for concerts and other big shows, etc......

                    moving chargers to LA made them the leagues biggest joke......

                        Let's face it - this is the Clippers situation all over. I remember when Barry's Tickets were letting tickets for a Clippers-Pistons game go for $7-TOTAL. I took advantage of it only to find out everyone else around me paid 5 bucks for their seat. You'd think Steve Ballmer would worry about the fact his tix were being thrown away but guess there is no reason to care. The Chargers are the Clippers, plain and simple. There is no need to move, excite fans, put a winning team, or sell seats. The money will continue to flow and the only question for the players will be-What is better? Being a Bengal and playing in front of empty seats OR the Chargers playing to sold out crowds where no one is cheering for you? Funny, when the Lakers cheers outweighed the CLippers cheers for a CLipper HOME game, no one ever wondered if the CLippers should go back to San Diego or even Buffalo, for you old-timers out there. What makes the NFL different?

                          Whole heartedly agree! The Bolts are OUR team and belong in OUR town.
                          Unfortunately, as long as he who shall not be named owns the team, no chance of that happening.
