Also, they're going to be the LA Chargers for at least 2017. The League only allows teams to change uniforms/names once in a five year window, and the last time the Chargers did any kind of alterations was 2012.

I love how you still have hope. You probably watch the news waiting for a rational debate about Trump.

Ross dude, reality awaits you. Come home. They're gone. We will all hopefully die soon. Come back. We're right here.

And good riddance to the Spanos and The Chargers.

Just got home from a San Diego Gulls game and gently caress the Spanos family forever.

Really wish I could say I didn't care, but gently caress that oval office, this loving hurts. Hope they thrive in their mediocrity up north.

EDIT: gently caress Spanos

That's an awesome idea!! I'd love the Seahawks in the AFC again. Especially now. They'd really make this conference a better one. I'd miss the chargers but having the Seahawks would be so cool. I'd love to watch my Ravens face them more often.

The league is not putting two NFC teams in the same city.

At least StubHub shouldn't look empty? Would kinda kick rear end to be an away fan there.

The next largest media market with no NFL team is Sacramento, actually. They just built a stadium for the Kings, though, so there's zero interest in forking out for an NFL stadium. I always thought that would be the best place for the Raiders go to to, since it's a long but not totally out of the question drive from Oakland to Sactown, and there's also the train, and Sac actually has lots of unused old industrial space along the river too. But I never saw it even suggested anywhere, so welp.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_television_stations_in_North_America_by_media_market

Sacramento is #20. St. Louis is #21, Portland is #25, and San Diego is #28. Half of LA is still bigger than any of these, though.

Green Bay is the team with the smallest media market at #68.

Las Vegas is #40, so clearly moving to the largest possible media market is not the only consideration, but it's definitely something the league cares about.

Pretty clear they wanted it to be MetLife West from the get-go.

Isn't there some rule against two teams in the same city in the same division or something? So they won't want the Chargers/whoever and the Rams to be in the same division.

It would be pretty cool if they played two times a year though.

quote:

The afc west is exactly the same as it was in the 60's.

Not quite, I mean there wasn't a team in Vegas and the Chargers were only in LA for one of the years that the division included the Dallas Texans. And none of the teams played in a 25,000 seat soccer stadium

It's the same franchises but there are definitely some differences.
