I highly doubt the Chargers are moving to LA. Why would they want to?

Because San Diego won't give the whiny little brats a brand new stadium; same as every other team.

Except, unlike the Rams, Qualcomm is the 5th oldest stadium in the NFL. When the new LA stadium opens, it'll be the 4th. Soldier Field was heavily renovated 13 years ago and the Raiders will likely be moving as well, which would make Qualcomm the 2nd oldest behind Lambeau (which isn't going anywhere).

Even Lambeau has been somewhat heavily renovated recently.

That's right, forgot about that one. In any case, the Chargers have a point in wanting a new stadium. The other stadiums even remotely close in age are being replaced (or very likely to be vacated in the case of Oakland) or have been heavily renovated since the turn of the century. Actually, the only stadiums more than 20 years old that haven't been renovated or won't be renovated heavily/replaced within 5 years are Oakland and San Diego.

I want a new house. Should I complain to my landlord that I want a new one and threaten to leave if they don't build me one? The Chargers already HAVE a stadium. Last I checked, they are also a private company - worth millions in an overall organization worth billions. Seems that, if they want a new stadium, they can pay for it. Age has nothing to do with it.
