LA Jaguars, debuting September 2023.

Nah, I don't think they put a second team in LA again.

Which, I mean, doesn't matter, because they're not going to move the Chargers out so quickly. As much as Kroenke wants the LA market all to himself (and, let's be real, he has it), that 20-year lease is a lot of money.

As to other posters asking why SD fans aren't driving up to see the Chargers, one of the biggest reasons is that the fans were taken for granted and slapped in the face. Even back when I lived there (2007-2010), there was a sense that relocation would happen sooner or later, but moving just up the road to LA then making overtures about fans still being able to see the Chargers play was ridiculous. I think Spanos was banking on a large portion of his existing fan base going up north on Sundays, and I think he was somewhere between naive and an idiot to assume that would happen.

Or he just didn't care and assumed shared revenue plus the exposure of being in LA would take care of it. Whichever.
