The viability of the Chargers in Los Angeles will be a "major discussion topic among NFL owners and executives at this week’s league meetings" according to Seth Wickersham of ESPN.
As ESPN's Adam Schefter notes, it's a "troubling issue" for the league. The Chargers' PSL (personal seat license) sales have been a real struggle, and Wickersham says the team is expected to revise its Inglewood revenue goals sharply to a more realistic number of $150 million from initially setting it at $400 million. The Chargers are a team without a home as the Rams have cornered the L.A. market, and the Bolts are the stepson to the city. They don't even have a home field advantage in the soccer stadium they temporarily call home in LA, as the opposing team's colors seem to dominate in the stands on a weekly basis. There were whispers last year of the NFL considering moving the Chargers back to San Diego. It should be done, but it would be a total admittance of failure by Roger Goodell and his billionaire friends.
There is also the question of whether the fans in San Diego would welcome back owner Dean Spanos after he so publicly jilted them.
