With Los Angeles clearly moving forward with their plans to one day bring an NFL team to the city, some are still worried that San Diego could eventually be the team to go. Though it’s almost pure speculation at this point and there are other franchises that also make sense to make the move to L.A., the Chargers have some issues that they’ll eventually have to deal with. One of their biggest issue is Qualcomm Stadium, which is now somewhat outdated and no longer a place that could house the Super Bowl. San Diego, formerly a great option for the biggest game of the year, hasn’t hosted the event in quite a few years and a new stadium would have to be constructed before it would happen again.
New plans have started to come forward that could start construction on a downtown stadium, which would presumably be the long-term solution to keeping the Chargers in town. In addition to the Chargers being rumored as a possible franchise that could move to L.A., other teams in the mix – according to reports mixed with speculation – are the Jaguars, the Bills and the Vikings. The Bills and Jags have smaller cities backing them up while the Vikings are also in the middle of dealing with their own stadium problems. Though it’s very unclear what will happen, the Chargers will almost definitely have to upgrade their stadium if there is going to be an NFL team in San Diego. For now, commissioner Roger Goodell has stated that the league is committed to San Diego, but there are no guarantees in the NFL.
