I remember reading an excellent ESPN article about the whole LA move. Basically Kroenke and Jerry Jones wanted an NFL team in LA and Kroenke wanted to build a new stadium but he wanted a 2nd team to move aswell to help him recover the costs of the stadium. The league had a ridiculous vote where they were basically coming up with ideas on the fly and the Raiders were willing to move to LA but Kroenke didn't want them as he knew they would be the more popular team.

Spanos had a years long battle with San Diego to finance a new stadium but they wouldn't so he put the Chargers up as the 2nd team and Kroenke accepted. They completely screwed the San Diego fans and just expected them to travel the distance but the Chargers couldn't even sell out the 20,000 capacity soccer stadium in LA they played at for a year before the stadium was completed.

The craziest thing was once the Raiders moved to Las Vegas they sold more season tickets in LA than the Rams or Chargers did!

The San Diego Chargers fans got completely screwed by the owners but the current LA Chargers fans seem to be LA fans supporting whatever team of the Rams or Chargers are doing better.
