In 1961 during their second year of existence the Chargers moved from Los Angeles to San Diego. Ownership has decided affective for the 2017 NFL season, the team will relocate back to Los Angeles. After 56 years it's politics as usual. The Chargers will have a new city (Los Angeles) and a new head coach (Anthony Lynn). The political part comes from city/county/team not being able to come together on a new stadium in San Diego. Alex Spanos, has been the Chargers owner since 1984 and for the past 15 years, has been trying to get a new facility to replace outdated Qualcomm Stadium. His threats finally became a reality following the 2016 season. The word is that for the next few seasons the Chargers and their plethora of logos will play in Carson, California. Then they will share the Los Angeles Rams new stadium being built currently in Hollywood Park. Now the Charger fans in San Diego are left heart broken.
