Force Spanos to sell and then talk to us. Exactly.

force the Spanus to sell the team, and then build a wall around San Diego to keep them out.

Colin Cowherd also had about a 2 minute rant this morning on how the Chargers should be back in SD. What the league is really pissed off about is the tv ratings in SD and LA. Less than 13,000 people watch the chargers play on TV 📺 this past weekend in SD. About 35,000 watch game in LA. The San Diego fan base is so pissed off at the NFL that even the donkeys and Cowboys didnt get the tv rating they were projecting. Are those real numbers? 35k in LA sounds impossibly low

This should not even be speculation. The chargers are not welcome back. I would personally stand in the middle of the road blocking the Spanus fron entering the county line.
Aztecs 4 life.

According to Nielsen ratings from this past Sunday, there were about 131,000 TV's watching the Chargers in San Diego, and about 279,000 TV's tuned to the Chargers in LA.

It's all talk right now, and talk is cheap! Wait a few years and see what happens.

In reality, the average San Diego Fan will welcome back the Chargers with open arms. I know you feel jilted and betrayed, however, forgiveness is human nature, and it really sticks it to Los Angeles for a change. Something that every San Diego fan would relish.

The Chargers--or any other NFL team--will not come to San Diego without a concrete plan for a new stadium. The city sure isn't going to build it. Exactly. It's guaranteed that the Chargers will be playing in this stadium in 3 years. Or they could move back and play here with no guarantee to ever get a new stadium. I have a feeling that the NFL and the Chargers will try a little longer than 3 weeks to make the LA plan work. That's odd how they didn't watercolor in the smog. Wouldn't be hard to do.

Chargers are not coming back, and thank God for it. SDSU finally has momentum, and the last thing we need is the Chargers coming back.

The Spanos family moved the team to L.A. to increase its value. Wouldn't them moving back to SD reduce its value by a like amount? Astonishingly, according to the Forbes sports team valuations that just came out, the Chargers are worth $2.275m after their move to L.A. That's a jump of just $275m in valuation. The Chargers were running around saying for the past few years that such a move would gain them $1b in market value -- from $2b to $3b. Apparently, not so if you don't really have a fan base. Further, Spanos is now on the hook to pay the other owners a $650m relocation fee -- $65m each year for 10 years. He's actually managed to lose $$$ by moving to L.A. What a putz. www.forbes.com/teams/los-angeles-chargers/
Al Davis went back to Oakland, with his Super Bowl Trophy because he couldn't get his stadium. The "LA thing" meant dick to him. That's what separated Spanos and Davis. Moreno thought the "LA thing"
would move the Angels to the next level. Keep trying. The fact is, if talk of the Chargers moving back to San Diego actually gains traction and the tumblers actually fall in place, the city will literally light up and SDSU football will once again regain its rightful place.
The irony would certainly be, both football teams came crawling back, one to a conference, the other to a city. Only in San Diego.
(AFA +3. For me, anything less than 5 is a "pick'em". Don't let me down Aztecs).

The odds of the Chargers moving back to San Diego aren't good. They would have to continue to fail miserably both at the box office (not selling out on a regular basis in that tiny soccer stadium) and in the TV ratings. Spanos would also either have to be willing to sell or be forced to sell (San Diego will NOT welcome the Chargers back if Spanos still owns the team).
THEN the new owner would have to be willing to pay for the stadium on his own dime (with some help from the NFL).
But if the Chargers continue to hurt the league (and negatively impacting TV ratings in both L.A. AND San Diego definitely hurts the league, overall) and if they're still an embarrassment then if all the above comes to pass it isn't impossible.
Just highly unlikely.
Aztec Football will remain the top dog in San Diego.

Aztec Football will remain the top dog in San Diego. Even if Spanos sells the team, I don’t think it’s very likely that the team moves back down. The Charger’s value doubled the minute they announced they were moving to LA. What are the odds that someone would be willing to pay the marked up price of the team, only to have its value halved by moving it back to SD? That just wouldn’t make sense. I reckon the only way SD gets a new team is either via expansion, or by the relocation of a less valuable team.

Click bait. Never gonna happen. The Spanos orchestrated their LA move over a fifteen year period and their franchise value went up by a billion dollars. No one is going to buy a franchise at LA pricing then movie it to small market San Diego. Well I agree Doc, however setting aside inflation, this may be as valuable as the franchise gets. Consider these challenges facing Deano and the kids: First the Spanos group could (likely) continue to run their team into the ground; and while San Diego was arguably willing over the years to support a non winner, LA...not so much. Losing team equals less attendance, and less revenue from concessions, apparel, etc. Fewer fans means less revenue and less revenue means lower team value. Second, the bad TV ratings may be an NFL-wide trend, and if it is TV revenue will surely go down, taking team value with it. Three, once they move in to Kronke's place their new landlord can up the rent if he so desires. Not being in control of your own venue does not help team value. Finally, even the mayor of LA has said they didn't really want the Chargers. Translation the fan base isn't really that large to begin with and while the market may be huge, the Chargers share of it is incredibly small. A few years of poor attendance, sales, and TV ratings may well convince the analysts who thought the move added value to rethink their position. I'm pretty certain Dean isn't smart enough to realize it, but there must have been a good reason the Rams moved to St. Louis, and the Raiders went back to Oakland. If he is capable of figuring it out though, the for sale signs will be going up soon. I don't know if that means the team will then relocate, but history seems to indicate LA can't support two teams.

LA really doesn't have smog anymore because all the cars have emission controls. Inglewood really doesn't have smog because it close to the coast and not in the valley.
