Nothing new. The Giants and Jets have shared a stadium for years, the Clippers and Lakers share the Staples Center, the Cardinals and Browns shared Sportsman’s Park for decades.
As long as a new stadium in LA has field turf, there’ll be no problem.
maybe an NFC/AFC sharing a stadium, but 2 AFC teams? That will never fly.BTW, are the Chargers looking for a new stadium from San Diego? Kind of sounds like blackmail to me. Same with the Raiders. They were using some people in San Antonio who have been looking for an NFL team since they built their white elephant stadium, to get concessions from Oakland
Who cares? Teams “announce” their intention to move to LA all the time, and their current “hometown” government types are suckers enough to fall for it, promising them the moon to keep them where they are.P.S. I live in MN, where the Vikings just had the Metrodome torn down to play in a currently-under-construction $1B (probably will end up costing more) stadium, over half of which is paid for by public funds.
The Raiders and Chargers deal seems more like another ploy to play Los Angeles against their home cities to get a better deal since the Raiders already signed an extension on their deal with Oakland about a week or 2 ago.

What about the Rams wanting to move to Inglewood? THREE teams, three times the cooties!
