CARSON, California -- It is going to be futbol and football on the same grass.
While Major League Soccer enjoys growing popularity, the NFL reigns supreme as the top attraction in the United States sports scene. In Carson, California, the two sports are going to awkwardly coexist for a while.
The Los Angeles Chargers will play their 2017 season at StubHub Center, sharing the soccer-specific venue with the Los Angeles Galaxy of MLS.
The power of the NFL is such that Galaxy president Chris Klein was wary when he first heard the news.
"Concern, just because having our home and the integrity of what we do was important to us," Klein said of his initial reaction.
