Chargers listening, but San Diego still faces heavy lift to keep team

SAN DIEGO – The Chargers have one foot out the door headed to Los Angeles.

However, Chargers Chairman Dean Spanos is still listening to stadium pitches from San Diego city leaders in a last-ditch effort to keep the team here.

The Chargers have until Jan. 15 to exercise the team’s option to move to Los Angeles, joining Rams owners Stan Kroenke’s $2.6 billion stadium project in Inglewood, scheduled to open in 2019.

“The building that is going to be built in LA is going to be spectacular, which will attract a lot of fans and a lot of money,” said sports business consultant Marc Ganis, who works closely with the NFL on relocation issues.
