The Chargers moving from San Diego earlier this year means the 2017 season will be the first time LA has hosted a pair of franchises since 1994. While they opted for the StubHub Center in Carson and won’t all share USC’s iconic LA Coliseum, lots of NFL action in proximity to the Trojans can be a good thing.
Local pro football could be a recruiting tool, and it gives the Trojan family additional opportunities to see their favorite players from yesteryear.
Currently, three former USC football players reside in Los Angeles. Robert Woods and Nickell Robey-Coleman both signed with the Rams as free agents in March, while Max Tuerk will enter his second year on the Chargers’ payroll after being drafted in 2016.
