The Chargers have been talking for 10+ years about a new stadium. Qualcomm is a pit - RWS on its' worst day was better. The Raiders stadium in an antiquated baseball field.
The Chargers say they get 35-40 % of their money from Orange County - so fans are already driving 60-80 miles to go to a home game. If & when the Rams move to Inglewood - the Chargers would see the casual fan money diverted.
Neither the Chargers or the Raiders are getting any support from the locals politicians and are floating this "trial balloon"
I am no fan of public money for billionaires playpens and the myth that stadiums spur growth is largely overblown.
If the Chargers/Raiders (strange bedfellows indeed), achieve the stadium in Carson it would be 70 miles from my house so about 120 miles from the South Bay (Mexican border) for the southern locals. The game day commute would be interesting, even on a Sunday.
Could the Chargers/Raiders make a go of it with the Meadowlands ?
Or is this just grandstanding by all parties ?
