NFL: Chargers move to Los Angeles

[Falco Lombardi]

I would guess San Diego feels the same way we do in St. Louis. Pretty much scorched earth.

The only way you could even entertain it is with a new owner and if you were going to do that, then why did you force this mess for Spanos in the first place?

 

[JRull86]

I mean realistically, where would you move the Chargers if not back to SD?

San Antonio in theory seems nice, but there's no way Jerry Jones would let that happen, let alone Jones and McNair.

St Louis still makes sense, but again, how can you put that city through losing the Rams, to then just give them a different team a few years later.

Not a lot of options.

No team is going back to St Louis unless theres a new stadium.

And fot the record, they lost the Cardinals in 87 then managed to get the Rams 8 years later

 

[Blitzkrug]

I think the only way you could get San Diego to even accept the Chargers coming back is somehow having Spanos removed from the picture.

Spanos burned that bridge for himself forever. San Diego residents rightfully nothing to do with him or his business. Honestly the bridge might be burned period regardless of who's involved. they got screwed by Spanos and the NFL.

Chargers should try a new market, maybe Virginia or Austin?

 

[GKJ]

There was nothing wrong with the Mission Valley stadium, why didn't Spanos take that?

Because he wanted to be in Los Angeles.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

That Yahoo article is interesting, I’ve been thinking since the Miami game Spanos is eventually going to sell to someone who moves the team back to San Diego and builds the Mission Valley Stadium. I think San Diego will welcome them back with a new owner and new stadium, but not with Spanos no way.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

jerrah and mcnair aren't going to let that happen.

Jerry and McNair shouldn't have a say

SA is 274 miles away from Dallas and a 4 hour drive with no traffic
SA is 197 miles away from Houston and a 3 hour drive with no traffic

 

[TorMenT]

Just move the Chargers to the UK

I don't think Jerry would care that much since the Chargers are in the AFC. He was supportive to Houston getting a team back. The Cowboys will always rule Texas.

Yeah St. Louis isn’t an option for the Chargers lol

He's lame.


Just switch the Raiders and Charges then. Tell Spanos he'll get all the revenue from the stadium in LV rather then being a tenant.

Yea, Jerry is going to be making truck loads of money regardless of how many teams play in Texas. They haven't won or been to a SB in over 20 years yet go up in value every year.

He's lame.

Why would the Raiders do that? Then they'd be the tenant instead.

Virginia is way too small for the NFL.

Then you’ve put Mark Davis in LA and they don’t want that either.

I guess 1614 people came dressed as seats.

FAA denies Dean Spanos’ request to stop banners from flying before Chargers games

Disgruntled Chargers fan Joseph MacRae bought a banner to fly over the stadium in Carson to send a message to Dean Spanos about how much San Diego fans detest the move to L.A.


Recently, Spanos tried to stop it by contacting the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and requesting a temporary flight restriction (TFR) for game days.


However, the FAA [URL='https://www.faa.gov/uas/resources/uas_regulations_policy/media/sports_tfr-uas_handout.pdf']only grants TFRs for stadiums and arenas that hold 30,000 or more

, and since the StubHub Center capacity is under 30,000 -- the Chargers announced a sellout at 25,386 during their game with the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday -- the FAA will not grant the TFR.

[No Fun Shogun]

hahaha, that's awesome that the reason why they won't grant it is because it's too small of a stadium.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Amazing.

Rams have the biggest attendance drop in history and the Chargers can’t block a banner because their stadium is too pathetically small.

The return to LA couldnt have gone better IMO

 

[BKIslandersFan]

I think Rams willbe fine in the long run, they need to field a better team.

That Jeff Fisher team was atriocious to watch.

Just let it go bruh. The Rams will be fine in LA. The only negative part about the move was St. Louis fans suffering. That is it. Everything else was right and YOU KNOW IT.

It was right to put the Chargers in LA? It was right to NOT put the Raiders? Lol what? In what universe? Sheesh the champion of your city, Bill Plaschke even called LA a city of front runners (which fine, whatever but then why put two of the biggest losers in recent memory there?). Meanwhile the Raiders are going to leave the state?

It wasn’t right, it will never have been right, but it’s too late to go back.

Doesn’t mean I can’t laugh at the hilarity of their own stupidity.

SMH where did I mention anything about the Chargers? Yikes.

Also funny how you call the Rams and Chargers as the biggest losers while conveniently complaining about the Raiders not moving there considering they were losers before their unexpected winning season last year.

Now before you laugh at other people's stupidity, please get rid of yours first.​

But he's not wrong. Sellout doesn't mean everyone showed up. Just means the tickets were sold.

You quoted me first, not the other way around. I simply addressed my entire post, not just the parts you didn’t ignore.

Also the Chargers moved this year, not last so they had full knowledge of what the Raiders had done. Nobody in their right mind can honestly believe the Chargers going to LA was a good move.

Who cares if I ignored the rest of your post? That's why I simply referred to the part where you were talking shit about the Rams again (shocker). I think you just wasted your time as you can see, I don't care about rhe Chargers.
