Mark Fabiani, the attorney who has led the Chargers’ stadium effort on Spanos’ behalf, declined to answer specific questions about San Diego on Wednesday.
The Oakland Raiders could move to Los Angeles if the Chargers do not. Haden said its current lease allows for only one National Football League team to use the arena, although it could be amended if the Chargers decide to move as well.
The Chargers believe the proposal for them to join the Rams in Los Angeles has doable components that could result in them moving to the nation’s second-largest market as early as this year, a source close to the situation said.
The relocation vote is a huge victory for Rams owner Stan Kroenke who had been doing everything in his power to make sure his team would be able to leave St. Louis after the 2015 season.
UPDATE 6:43 p.m.: The Chargers have denied that anything is imminent.
While the Chargers decide whether to stay in San Diego or move to Los Angeles, fans said they are fed up with the stadium saga.
“That’d be fun. We won’t quite feel at home because we’ll be in the visitor’s locker room, but that’ll be fun to be there”, said Carroll. However, upon the second go around the vote was more decisive in 30 yes and two for no. Thusly, the Rams were officially granted its wish to return to Los Angeles.
“I think that’s bad, that’s a lot of traffic”, said Jose Esquivel of Tom’s Jr. MORE: Fans take to streets after NFL announces Rams returning to LAAs excited fans wait in anticipation, the team managing the Coliseum has been hard at work since August preparing the historic venue to be ready for pro football again.
However, don’t worry Raider fans, there still is a chance the silver and black team will be back in Los Angeles.
The Raiders were already in the only remaining two-sport stadium in the NFL, but now with the Chargers getting their choice of a new stadium either in San Diego or Inglewood, the Raiders will have the most embarrassing stadium situation in the league. The proposed Inglewood stadium that will house the newly transitioned teams will also not be completed until 2019.
“I felt like I won the lottery because they’re finally coming home where they really belong”, Olvera said with a laugh. Even though the team hadn’t had a winning season since 2003, Lindsey gained an affinity for a squad once labeled The Greatest Show on Turf.
That leaves the Raiders homeless for the time being.
The Raiders and Chargers had a competing proposal to share a new stadium in nearby Carson, but neither option got the 24 votes needed for approval.

Rather than waiting for next season’s release of the game, players can take advantage of the “Franchise relocation feature” of Madden 16 to make the move immediately.
