In 2017, the Chargers announced they were moving from San Diego to Los Angeles. The move was widely criticized by fans and media, but it made sense for the team from a business standpoint. Los Angeles is the second-largest market in the NFL and offers greater opportunities for revenue growth. The Chargers also considered themselves a regional team, with fans in both Southern California and Arizona, so moving closer to those markets made sense.
The Chargers played their first season in L.A. in 2017 at StubHub Center, a soccer stadium that seats just over 27,000 people. They'll move into a new $2 billion stadium in 2020 that they'll share with the Rams.
