The Chargers and Raiders are working together to develop a proposal for a privately financed Los Angeles-area venue and plan to immediately seek a ballot initiative to get the voter support needed for it to be built.
The $1.7 billion NFL stadium in Carson, Calif. would break ground on a 168-acre site near the intersection of the 405 Freeway and Del Amo Boulevard. Inside look at the proposed Chargers Raiders shared stadium

Dont get this think if I was a chargers fan I might be pissed
this is all clearly for leverage for new stadiums for the chargers and raiders.that will never fly with the NFL.we are talking about two teams not only in the same conference but same division.
you would have to completely rearrange the conferences and divisions if they did that and that's not going to happen,the NFL is not going to want to lose the long standing rivalry with these two teams and their traidtions.
Plus think about it for a minute.The chargers when they first came into the NFL in the AFL/NFL merger,their first year they were in LA.they left after their first season there because they could not compete with the Rams for attendance only averaging around 20,000 fans per game.
The Raiders were never embraced in LA.even the year they won the superbowl there,they averaged only 40,000 a game where the Rams averaged 65,000.Only the thugs embraced the Raiders in LA.
dan dierdorf recently said that when he would broadcast Monday night games on Monday night football,that the raiders never had a home game broadcast while they were in LA.that there Monday night games were on the road.
LA never supported the raiders or the chargers the entire time while they we in LA.spanos and davis both know that.so they are obviously doing this for legerage.this will never fly with the owners.
Yeah this is all just for leverage for the chargers and raiders obviously because for one,the chargers have NO FANBASE in LA.if they moved,they would have an empty stadium for all their games.Nobody would support them in LA and they would piss off all the fans that support them in san diego so they wouldn't come down there to see them.
and the raiders? as I said,when they were in LA,all their Monday night football games were always on the road because they could not sell out.nobody supported them.even the year they won the superbowl they did not have very good fan support.that was why Al Davis moved them back to Oakland.
LA is not like New York,they wont support two teams,they will support the Rams because of their long tradition there but not the raiders or chargers as history has proved.

Here is why that plan will never fly or take off.
This money economist agrees with me as well that its just being used as leverage by spanos and davis for a new stadium.

It makes way more sense that this is a bluff,” he said.
