I agree kind of but I have a friend that lives in San Diego and he tells me Qualcomm Stadium (or whatever it's called today) is a dump. Much like with Oakland it's hard to keep a team when your stadium is a dump and the city doesn't want to assist in paying for a stadium. I don't want to get into the public money for stadium circular arguments but this is how the NFL conducts business and as long as other cities are willing to provide new facilities, teams are going to move. The Chargers long term could probably move to say St. Louis as they were ready to help build another stadium but Kroenke always wanted the LA market. I don't think they are going to succeed in LA as I fear that big stadium could look pretty bad with less than 40k next year for Chargers games.
