Charger Exploring StubHub Permanent Stay?

As many of you know, I live in Carson, just blocks from the StubHub Center and Carson City Hall. I know people who work there, and I also have coffee in the morning on occasion with members of the City Council.

I've been told the Chargers Management is exploring the possibility of staying at the StubHub Center and making it their permanent home. Those ways include how to expand the seating there. These talks are in the infant stages, but its apparent Chargers owner and president Dean Spanos and Son, aren't happy with sharing Kroenke's stadium when it's completed.

I've been told the Chargers want to see how well attendance goes this season for their home games, and if they sell out all of them, they will go forward. It's worth noting that Charger tickets for their home games are 3 to 4 times more that for Ram games. This Sundays game vs the Dolphins the cheapest seat is 120$ (end zone corner) 50 yd line 720$$, (according to vividseats.com)


I started hearing this rumor last year before the Chargers even moved from San Diego. I gave it about the same credence as the Carson Landfill Stadium rumor. Who knows, it may be just talk, but I keep hearing bits and pieces and more and more often from people who would know.

I would love to see this happen. How would Kroenke and the NFL front office like this?

I would personally love to see our Rams have their own stadium instead of sharing it. It should just be Rams' home stadium, no stinking Chargers! :twisted:

Great stuff bubba, you're a regular Jim Rockford.

But like you said, Spanos has signed some kind of deal with Kroenke, don't know how easy or hard it would be to get out of it. But i've also been wondering what happens if Spanos has trouble selling PSL's. He's not much good to Kroenke in that case...

Thats a good point.

I wonder how the deal with the Raiders would be affected. They were in play with this also.

I'm still waiting for the Chargers to move back to SD. Raiders to LV.

Rams own LA!

Lower rent? Spanos is on a 1.00 a year lease.

Made that whole "Pay your rent!" chant a moot point.
