Not good for the Chargers

[fearsomefour]

Yep. They should be the London Chargers baby.

San Diego
or
Tijuana

Because Oakland didn’t cough up $, and Vegas did.

Davis wanted to stay in Oak, but $ won out.

The great irony is now talks are progressing for a new A's stadium.

This is giving Spanos way too much credit. Move to LA, have it be a spectacular failure, then get more monetary help from the league to slink back to SD?

Yeah, maybe this scenario could happen, but it sure wouldn’t be because of a “plan.”

Spanos is so darn stupid, he screwed over his city, his fans, and himself.

yeah good point.

To me, this gets to a central question which I still don’t know the answer to.

My question is, “Does Kroenke WANT a second team as a tenant in his new stadium?”

On the one hand, it would seem that he does, since he gets a cut of game day revenue (at least partially, I think, from parking, etc.), as well as increased advertising, etc. Over the next 20 years or so, wouldn’t Kroenke make more money having a viable 2nd team as his tenant in Inglewood?

On the other hand, my understanding was that initially, Kroenke very much wanted LA all to himself. Kroenke only made the Inglewood stadium capable of hosting two teams because the owners forced him to do so. As I understand it, the owners basically said to Kroenke, “If you want to leave St Louis and build your new stadium in LA, you must also be willing to allow the Chargers to join you in LA if they choose.”

I guess I still don’t feel sure about what Kroenke wants NOW. My guess is that he still would prefer what he wanted initially— one city, one team— the LA Rams, and no one else.

You are spot on in the second hand.Yes your understanding is correct.Kroenke wanted LA to himself,he did not want to share but because the owners insisted that the stadium be built to house two teams to continue to use LA as a leverage threat for other teams in the future to get new stadiums,to get to LA he had to go along with their wishes which really sucks.

This article was written the day after Dean Spanos announced the Chargers were moving to Los Angeles by a fan of the Chargers who lives in L.A.. Everything this guy said has come true..

@LesBaker I get they voted but it could be they voted against Davis as much as for Spanos. Not a lot of love for Mark and especially his dad.

especially since it it well known most the owners hate the davis family.

Spanos is the NFL's reverse King Midas.

Every "stadium deal" he's touched has turned into poop.

Hey mods. I believe we need a Chargers vent board.
