There have been recent rumors (back in August-September) that the San Diego chargers could be moving from San Diego sometime soon. One of its prospective new cities is the city of Los Angeles. If a new football stadium is built in L.A., then the Chargers might go through with the move, considering that their current stadium, Qualcomm Stadium, is considered outdated. A move to Los Angeles “would increase the team’s value by at least $200 million”. This increase in value will be a result of the new stadium, and more sponsorship opportunities only available in L.A. This potential move is interesting because there was a point in time where people thought San Diego would be the rival of San Francisco in Southern California. Instead of San Diego, that rival turned out to be L.A. And it would be another slap in the face of San Diego if they lose their professional team to Los Angeles.
