Chargers on the Move?
-
They said the Raiders would be going to LA....but that ain't happenin'. Looks like Las Vegas.
If some other city comes along and offers the Chargers a sweet stadium package deal......it could still be that they would be enticed to move to such a location...and I hear that SATX may be prepared to do just that.

If you go by percent to capacity, yes they are near the bottom, 28th to be exact. But if you look average per game, they are 2nd in the league to Dallas at 83,700 per game. The Rams are drawing just fine and while I don't think the Chargers should move, there's no way a stadium is getting built in San Diego. They wont go to San Antonio, Jerry J. won't ever allow another team to be moved into Texas. Raiders to Vegas, Chargers to LA as the tennant to the Rams.

They could move to Oakland.

And play where? In just as big of a dump as they have now in Qualcomm?

I've seen this on ESPN how can a team have a percentage over 100%?? If the ground is full that's at 100% capacity no?

Some stadiums sell standing room only tickets.

So the capacity listed is actually how many seats are available?

That would be my understanding.

It's vegas or LA. If the Raiders take Vegas than Chargers go to LA

Now that the NFL appears to be over the gambling hangup Las Vegas is getting a team, the Raiders are a better left coast fit but the Chargers would work.
They better hurry with both before the magic window closes for billion dollar stadiums in professional football.
The other city? Mexico City? A border Mexican city? (If president Trump will allow it.

500 million relocation fee,,wouldnt say it's quite over for san diego yet

)Actually Mexico City would be an excellent choice. Cheap labor to build the stadium and it would fill every week. Could make a hell-of-a contract with Univision for here in the U.S. for all the illegals that would tune in to watch their home team games and sell a lot of advertisement in Spanish to hit that huge market. We just need to convince the wall builder that this would make better business sense than sending them all back. Been telling my kids since they were little to learn Spanish if they wanted to be a part of the long term future of this country and that was before NAFTA. There is a huge untapped market to our south and smart business guys are catching on to it.
I should send the Donald a copy of Doris Kearns Goodwin's "The Bully Pulpit". TR was way beyond his time on our neighbors to the south. He was just a bit heavy handed is all.

If they move, OKC seems a logical choice.

From what you hear? Who are you hearing this from because hey are ranked second in attendance in the NFL behind Dallas.

Capacity figures. Though perhaps that is misleading....as the Coliseum holds a ton of people. Still....as far as I am concerned, why don't we see if one team can make it in LA before they put another team there.
It is foolish to think that just because it is "LA" and some of the league owners are Hollywood star butthole sniffers (read: Jerry Jones) and because it is the second largest market in the nation that it is able to support two teams.

Jerry may have influence....but he don't control shit. From my understanding (as my daughter lives there), a lot of people in SA had been fed up with Jerry Jones taking SA for granted and thinking he owns them......and a lot of people had shifted allegience to the Texans. (but that may all change now that the Cowboys are winning big....their mediocrity was another factor in driving people away.....winning could cause them to flock back).
IF a big enough fat cat were to come along and put money up for a new stadium.....they could go. In the interim, the Alamodome is probably as good a stadium for an NFL team to play in as the ones in both SD and Oakland....but a new stadium would be required.
Besides, the NFL owners may like the idea of playing a Super Bowl in SATX. It has good weather (much better than Dallas) that time of year.
