Dean Spanos forced to sell Chargers?
This is amazing.
Imagine owning a company that prints money for every other owner, in a stadium you didn't even build and still you bounce charity checks. Watch Jeff Bezos buy this team and move it back to San Diego where he doesn't have to rent out a stadium to a competitor. This is all over the radio in LA right now.

SD is logical.
It could also go to Canada or London.

That ship has sailed.
Qualcomm is a pile of sand and we're well in motion to build a 40K seat stadium in place of it for the SDSU Aztecs.

Right I knew that, I don't actually know if it is too late to just make that stadium NFL ready? New stadiums may only need 40k moving forward. I know that if someone like Bezos was involved he'd probably not want to have a landlord like the Chargers do now. Basically I just really want the Chargers to go back to SD so it's more hope than actual logic |

As far as Aztec Stadium goes, it's suppose to be built in a way to allow seat expansion. But with SDSU's plans to basically turn the surrounding areas into, essentially, an extension of a college campus, im not sure how suitable it will be for an NFL team and an owner like Bezos.

Off topic but your mention of the Aztecs reminded me of how badly I wanted the Chiefs to draft Kirk Morrison when he came out...

You can't do Canada or London. Players are not going to do that.

The Chargers are one of the up and coming teams with a promising young QB and nobody cares here. There are Rams fans but nobody wants the Chargers here.
They're building a new stadium already in place of the old one in Qualcomm. It seems like a no-brainer to get someone with actual money involved, upgrade that stadium to NFL level and just play there. |

Jesus. This is definitely one instance where I'm pulling for Bezos to make the move.
How have the other owners not forced this turd out before now? Surely they have been aware of the Chargers' financials? Mark Davis thinks Dean Spanos is terrible at money, lol. |
