Kind of glad to see the Rams go back. I remember that 79 Super Bowl rooting for Vince Ferragamo and Wendall Tyler. They should have never left LA, just like the Cardinals should have never left St. Louis.

San Diego going to LA just sounds like the stupidest thing ever. Just confused how Spanos is thinking.

This is great for West Coast Redskins fans.
To bad the Rams play in DC next year instead of LA.

Chargers need to beg fans for forgiveness and stay.
Paying half a billion to leave town and play redheaded step child in LA isn't going to be profitable in the long run.

I hope the rams go back to the old Blue and White uniforms!

Sorry for the multiple posts.

With the Rams getting a year head start in LA, aren't the majority of fans going to jump on their bandwagon?
Is anyone going to want to cheer for the leftover football team, LA chargers?

If Bolts are actually bolting for LA, they need to do it from the get go and compete with the Rams for fans.

That's what I was thinking. As a younger fan who wasn't around for the Rams first go around in LA I'll definitely be pulling for the Rams to win, not the Chargers. They have the ties to the city and got here first.

Also hope they make the retro blue & yellow jerseys permanent or update them just a little - their current jerseys are terrible.

Does anyone know why the Rams only proposal wasn't approved by the owners?

If your question is why the Rams were approved and not the Chargers or Raiders?
Stan Kroenke owner of the Rams is privately financing the Inglewood stadium to the tune of $1.8 billion.

I never knew the Chargers actually started in LA (1960) and then moved to SD.
I hope they stay in San Diego as well, because it's tough to find a nicer place to host a Super Bowl- beautiful city.

I always thought the other LA teams struggled with attendance/support because of the bad traffic conditions.

Does anyone know if the new stadium have easy access for the fans?

On Sunday afternoons it shouldn't be too bad, but that's by LA standards. Monday/Thursday-nighters will suck w/ LA rush hour traffic. But with LAX, the 405 freeway, and the Forum all within minutes of the new stadium, that area is set up to handle traffic.

Lakers, Kings, and Dodgers don't have attendance problems and I'd say that Staples/Dodger Stadium are in equally bad, if not worse, positions in regards to traffic.

ticket prices are going to be outrageous.
Scalpels are going to snatch up all the season tickets and then resell them on ticket exchange to the fans of visiting teams.

the raiders are going to have an extra home game once the Chargers move to LA.
