What was the main reason for their move? Was it decline in fans? Losing money in the SD market? Seems odd how a team has been there for decades, had many playoff appearances even a spot in the Super Bowl and now they are off to LA. I would think Jacksonville would move before SD.

Chargers owner Spanos wanted the city of San Diego to raise the hotel occupancy tax to help pay for the new downtown stadium project projected at $1.8B.  The SD voters rejected that ballot measure.

So Spanos didn't want to contribute more than 300 million dollars for a new stadium in San Diego but will pay a 550 million dollar relocation fee to the NFL.  Shows that he really had no intentions of trying to keep the team in San Diego.

He was going to get money from the NFL for a new stadium too.

Greedy owners know how to ruin a team/fan base. North Stars, Winnipeg Jets, Cleveland Browns just to name a few. Too bad fans can't fire owners.
