    The Chargers Need To Relocate

    They haven't had a true home field advantage for 25 years, dating deep into their San Diego days. It isn't like the Dan Fouts "Super Charger" era, and never will be again in California. They don't even have enough fans at their home stadium to boo this team, and their coach, off the field as they deserve. The problem is where do you move them? San Antonio, Austin, and Oklahoma City could support them, but they are all firmly Cowboys based. St. Louis has already had 2 franchises with the last one leaving them for Los Angeles. I'd say London, but they seem to have a Jaguars fetish.

    Salt Lake with the elevation and potential for diehard loud fans, although not sure chargers are a good fit, I think it could be a tough place to play.

    I think the Chargers should just stay in California and either move to Sacramento or go back to San Diego. I’m not into international location, but with the proximity of San Diego next to Mexico, then Mexico City might actually be an ideal location.

    If Chargers moved to Mexico City, they could change their name from Chargers to Churros. Great marketing tie-in. 🤣

    Chargers don't need to move they need to rebuild.

    Start with coaching changes and an offensive line upgrade. That OL can't protect worth crap. Defense kinda sucks as well.

    Pay hundreds of millions to move out of a great stadium with a minimal rent? Explain the upside.

    Goodell should've been fired for allowing that team to move to that city...it never made any sense from a competitive standpoint. Los Angeles was home to the Raiders which is a division rival so many people out there already didn't like the Chargers and certainly didn't want them. Not only that there's a built in rivalry between LA/San Diego for many things other than sports teams. So now you have a team in a city that never wanted them and many fans from San Diego severed ties when the Spanos family left in the dark of night just to line their pockets.

    Yeah, I agree with JP.
    Chargers had an identity in San Diego.

    Chargers were good last year. This year they suck. It happens.

    Man this is the truth. The Chargers are always going to be a JV Franchise.

    Raiders is the team in LA and OKC might be the same way with Cowboys. Going to OKC won’t help Chargers and they might have the similar problem as in LA if they moved to OKC but from a different team with Cowboys.

    Agreed 100% Jake.

    Raiders should have moved back to Los Angeles where they would have been HAPPILY welcomed back.

    Chargers should have moved to Vegas.

    OKC could work if they paid Dak Prescott and Jerry Jones to each take a shit on the Oklahoma state flag. I mean, the two states have a rivalry in every other way it makes no sense for Oklahoma to live vicariously through the Cowboys.
