Thread: Chargers AND Raiders Building Stadium In L.A.?

Sure sounds like a desperate ploy to get the stadiums they want in San Diego and NorCal respectively, but the Chargers and Raiders are going in together on a new football stadium in Carson, CA where the Raiders have threatened to build before.

Can't imagine how this is going to work but if the Jets and Giants can share a stadium, this could possibly happen but I'd bet against it. The threat of moving to L.A. has been part of blackmailing city fathers in NFL cities for two decades now.

I think LA would be a good fit for the Chargers.

Lol 2 rivals and they both can't afford their own stadium. How embarrassing.

Oakland should just move to San Antonio or Las Vegas.

And the owner of the Rams have already purchased property in the LA area.

By the way, the Jets & Giants aren't division rivals, so its not as big of a deal for them to share a stadium when they only play each other once every 4 years. The Raiders & Chargers have been division rivals since both teams inception in 1960. I can't imagine this not eventually causing problems when they play each other twice every year.

If LA was interested in football they would still have a team... this is another idle threat

I'm not sure I'd want to share my PSL with a Raiders fan. I'd have to bring disinfectants and wipe down when it's my team's week to play there.

They already do have a pro football team - the USC Trojans.

New report says one of them would likely join the NFCW. Im guessing it would be the Chargers bc noway you break up the Denver/Oakland rival.

Then maybe the Rams join the AFCW in place of whoever leaves.

wow thats pretty crazy

Yeah that would be a big shake up. I dont really even like SD leaving the division bc they have managed to build a rival with the division too. But looks like they are willing to sell their soul for a new stadium.

One thing I hate though is the Rams have an indoor stadium. I hate us playing there and I always prefer us playing on grass.

If this plays out, the likely scenario is that the Chargers will move to the NFC West and the Cardinals will likely join the AFC West.

What the freak? That would suck. The Chargers, Raiders and Broncos have all been division rivals for 50 years.
