2487058, not really the first to file...

nobody can file right now... the window to file hasn't opened yet...

but look at what dude said..

"“At this point yes, because there's no sign that the other team or teams are not going to file,” said Fabiani, who serves as the Chargers’ special counsel. “Everyone assumes all three teams will file, and in that case we can't afford to lose our market in Los Angeles and Orange County.”


He didn't say they were filing to relocate to LA....he said he was filing because he knows the Rams are going to file and he wants to protect "their market" in la and oc...


he's saying they'll file to try and block the Rams..

that's much different than what Kroenke and the Rams are doing...

Kroenke will file to relocate when the window is open because he's building a stadium in Inglewood, and he plans to move the Rams there.

The Rams will have the only stadium project ready to break ground when the relocation window opens...it's the stadium project that is the preferred choice by the league office...everything will be ready to roll....

The Chargers on the other hand have the Carson project. Several months ago the Carson city council approved bonds for 100 Million that would fund the completion of the toxic clean up of the Carson land. To this point, they haven't gotten anyone to purchase the bonds yet...thus the clean up hasn't been funded and has not begun. That clean up will take 18 months to 2 years....

when the window opens...both the Rams and Chargers will apply...but the Rams will be the only ones who have a stadium project ready to go.
