The Rams are the only team I think that's doing this right.
They left a city that was lukewarm about them to go to a huge market that has a history with them. Instead of begging for public funding, they're going to fork over their own money to build a stadium, and from the looks of it, it's going to be the nicest one in the league (until that Vegas one theoretically gets built). They've put a fair amount of effort into branding and messaging. And their team is pretty well coached and has the key pieces in place for a swift rebuild.
The Chargers didn't even think it through. All the way down to their logo this was just corporate and mindless. LA doesn't give two shits about this team and never has, and that's going to get even worse when the Chargers ask the public for money on a stadium. They may have to pay the Rams for rent.
