It would be a terrible business decision for the chargers to remain in San Diego. If a team other than them move to LA they lose 30% of their revenue, their franchise value decreases and they lose all leverage to get a deal done in San Diego.

San Diego doesn't deserve a pro football team. More Patriot and Bronco fans at the last two games. Pathetic.
GO LA Chargers!

I don't care one way or another about the Chargers but the last thing I want to see is the GD Raiders moving back here to L.A. so if the Chargers moving would prevent that, I'm all for it.
I'll add this. Jim Harbaugh is now as good as fired as the 49ers coach and when I was in the Bay Area on business three weeks ago, there was considerable speculation on KNBR680 about the Raiders hiring him. Word from Gary Raditch and others who know Jimbo pretty well was that if they were to move to San Antonio, there's no way he would take that job since he wants to remain in California more than anything but would much prefer Ann Arbor for the Michigan job or NY for the Jets over San Antone. But OTOH, he reportedly thinks very highly of Derek Carr.

I hope to God the Raiders move to San Antonio, get them out of California. They can also do an extensive rebranding as well!

Both SD and LA have thousands of transplanted fans from those two areas, and it's also a destination city for the hometown fans who travel. That's not an excuse, it's reality.

True but to a lesser extent in L.A. Go to Dodgers-Cardinals game and you'll definitely notice the number of fans in red. Go to a Padres-Cardinals game and there are more fans of the road team.

Maybe so, but the Bay Area has thousands of transplanted fans from other areas as well. I live walking distance from Oco Coliseum, and have attended many Raider games over the last couple decades. It's not the same. Raiders have been crappy for over ten years, but the fan support will never change. I don't dare wear any Charger gear.

What a load of crap. Typical NFL rumor mongering to scare cities. In a normal world what the NFL is doing is called extortion. Getting the tax payers to pay for a new sand box for a billionaire owner. San Diego has to borrow millions of dollars just to fix the pot holes, yet the NFL wants the tax payers to pay for "The Goofuses" sandbox. Outrageous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At the game the other night I asked some students what they thought about having a FB stadium on campus . What they told me was Money needs to go into security on campus , more classes , more classrooms , more teachers , more housing units , and a wide variety of other things that are needed for ever day life on the campus , a FB stadium was not a priority for the guys .

Where does the 30% revenue from LA come from? I keep hearing that, but no one in LA cares about the Chargers. They still think the Raiders are based there. OC yes but LA no. OC residents aren't going to change and become another teams fan just because LA is on the jersey. I still don't think LA is an NFL market, they have tried and failed multiple times. The market is just as soft as San Diego, people root for winners and attend their games and care less when the team loses. Sad but true. Look at the Clippers. I hope San Diego can get something done this off season that makes sense for everyone.

There are 10,000 or so seats tarped off for every game

They wanted to get rid of Monty, the Aztec Warrior, the name Aztecs, etc
