Los Angeles Chargers
History of the National Football League in Los Angeles
De to årtier, hvor Los Angeles ikke havde et NFL-hold, skyldtes til dels, at Los Angeles' eksisterende stadions var forældede, at ligaen ikke var villig til at udvide med nye hold efter 2002 (da Houston Texans blev grundlagt) eller flytte andre hold, og at man ikke kunne blive enige om en plan for at bygge et nyt stadion på trods af flere forslag, der blev godkendt af myndighederne, men som aldrig fik et hold, der var villigt til at flytte på udviklernes betingelser. Truslen om en flytning til Los Angeles blev i den periode brugt som en effektiv forhandlingsmulighed for hold på andre, mindre markeder; et hold kunne afpresse sin hjemby til at bidrage mere til at bygge eller renovere et stadion ved at fremmane truslen om at flytte til Los Angeles, hvis deres krav ikke blev opfyldt. Ligaens fravær fra Los Angeles sluttede i begyndelsen af 2016, da Rams fik ligaens godkendelse til at vende tilbage til området fra starten af 2016-sæsonen. I øjeblikket er Los Angeles hjemsted for NFL's Los Angeles Rams og Los Angeles Chargers, hvoraf sidstnævnte annoncerede deres hensigt om at flytte fra deres tidligere hjemsted i San Diego i januar 2017. De to hold vil dele Los Angeles Stadium at Hollywood Park, når stadionet åbner i Inglewood i 2020.
Los Angeles Chargers
History of the National Football League in Los Angeles
The two-decade span in which Los Angeles lacked an NFL team was brought on in part by the obsolescence of Los Angeles's existing stadiums, the unwillingness of the league to add expansion teams after 2002 (when the Houston Texans were founded) or relocate any other teams, and an inability to agree on a plan to build a new stadium, despite several proposals that received full regulatory approval but never landed a team willing to relocate under the developers' terms. The threat of a relocation to Los Angeles was, in that span, used as an effective bargaining chip for teams in other, smaller markets; a team could blackmail their home city into contributing more toward constructing or renovating a stadium by raising the specter of leaving for Los Angeles if their demands were not met. The league's absence from Los Angeles ended in early 2016, when the Rams received league approval to return to the area beginning at the start of the 2016 season. Currently, Los Angeles is the home of the NFL's Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers, the last of whom announced their intent to relocate from its previous home in San Diego in January 2017. The two teams will share Los Angeles Stadium at Hollywood Park when the stadium opens in Inglewood in 2020.
