SAN FRANCISCO - The Chargers, Raiders and Carson city officials completed a land deal Tuesday morning that will enable a $1.65-billion stadium to be built next to the I-405 freeway that eliminates another hurdle for the NFL's return to the Los Angeles-Orange County market.
The deed for 157 acres was transferred to the Carson Reclamation Joint Powers Authority Tuesday. Following a model used to develop and finance Levi's Stadium, the 49ers' new home in Santa Clara, the CRJPA will lease the land to a stadium authority, likely made up of Carson City Council members who in turn will rent the facility to the NFL teams.

how many public officials from Carson will go to jail?
If Democrats-none
If Republicans-all of them
The Carson Chargers? I actually like driving to San Diego for Chargers games. Carson LOL. Surrounded by homey’ hoods like Compton, Torrance and Harbor Gateway. I’m stunned those rich dudes from Rolling Hills and Palos Verdes allowed this to happen.
I could see maybe the Raiders moving out of the Oakland dump but why would San Diego relocate to Lost Angele$ Oh yeh— follow the greenery.
So, if the Hollywood Park stadium comes to fruition, then LA could go from having zero NFL teams to having 3 NFL teams? I don’t think so.
Let’s see, the Chargers would move to Carson so they could compete with the Raiders to sell tickets there. The Raiders would come from Oakland to LA for a second time to prove that they still can’t make it in California’s largest city.
It would seem like the only team that would come out ahead is the Rams by coming back home to LA where they are still beloved, a city they never should have left. The late Carroll Rosenbloom is probably still rolling over in his grave from when his idiot wife, Georgia of the perpetual mink coat took the Rams to St. Louis.
I hope the Raiders, Chargers, and Rams all move in at once. It will demonstrate for all time the absurdity of the NFL owners’ ongoing blackmail of cities.
I can understand Oakland Raiders are moving.
I don't understand why the San Diego Chargers are moving. It makes no sense.
The Chargers and the Raiders are in the same division so they would basically have 10 home games a season. I don’t see the rest of the owners in the NFL much less their division being comfortable with an advantage like that.
The Rams are involved too?
F!! There goes my property values. I live in Torrance.
Torrance is not a homey hood.
9 home games, in that one of the Chargers-Raiders games already counts as a home game. While there may be an advantage in having a little less travelling, this may be off-set in that in both of the games with the stadium mate, one would effectively not have a home field advantage.
It will be now even more so. BTW, Torrance already has some nasty areas, and dumping a stadium in the region ALWAYS increases crime and low life population. Bet the rent.
Well the good news is that the new stadium will be next to I405 which means it will be easy to get to, if you leave the day before anyway.
Ya, put in near the 405 Fwy parking lot...Brilliant.
How stupid are these people?
If I lived in that area, I’d move fast.
“Well the good news is that the new stadium will be next to I405 which means it will be easy to get to, if you leave the day before anyway.”
I have driven by the site and it’s next to the Harbor (110) Freeway.
The NFL doesn’t want L.A. to have a team. How many cities have built a new stadium subsidized by the government to keep their teams from moving to L.A.
Why wouldn’t it make sense. Their stadium is outdated with little chance of getting a new one. The. Chargers started in LA. How does it not make sense?
Los Angeles has had three NFL teams, and they lost them.
The excuse was there are too many things going on in “LA” to sell out NFL games. That’s why the Rams and the Raiders left.
I understand the new stadium for the Chargers, but why move it from a city where they are popular to a city that has lost three NFL teams?
The owners are doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
