Yes, it's for the Coliseum, for three years. The new stadium opens in 2019.

The Rams have already announced that there will be PSLs, but they have not set a price for them. They indicated that they will probably set the prices for both the PSLs and the season ticket packages later this year.

It will be VERY interesting to see how the PSLs go over. I would never pay a PSL, even for the Kings.

Just to clarify, I meant PSLs for the new stadium. There won't be any for the Coliseum. I should have clarified that in the first post.

Yes, I realized that. I was talking about PSLs for the new stadium as well.
 
@BillPlaschke: "The Lakers and Dodgers run this joint, and college football teams are giants, and nobody wins like the Kings, and nobody has more drama than the Clippers, and in 21 years Los Angeles has become arguably the nation's most interesting sports town — without the national pastime's help... Welcome back, NFL. Now make us glad we missed you."

You're goddamn right.
 
:laugh:

What did they say?

The guy who picked up the phone was actually nice. At first, he was like, "Aw really?" Then I just pretended to be a reaident there and told him I was from LA. I told him that I didn't mean to rub it in (lies, LOL). Anyway, he said that the hats won't be available until around the draft.
 
When NFL owners voted to approve the Rams’ move from St. Louis to Los Angeles, the Chargers were given until January 15, 2017 to strike an agreement with the Rams to share their proposed stadium in Inglewood if they chose to make the move.

The two teams began talks shortly after that vote and Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports that the two teams have reached such an agreement in principle. There are no details about what’s involved in the agreement.

Reaching the agreement is a big step toward the Chargers making a move, but it’s not a final one. Chargers owner Dean Spanos still has to make the call to head up the coast and Acee reports that “some near the process say” he hasn’t “entirely made up his mind” about departing. Reaching the agreement could lead to action from San Diego that makes staying a more favorable deal for Spanos and the team, although there’s been no public comments from the team or city at this point.

The Chargers have already gotten the ball rolling on a team headquarters and practice facility in Orange County and the Los Angeles Coliseum is considering a change to their lease with USC to allow two NFL teams to use it as a temporary home.

"Open Letter to the Community from Dean Spanos
San Diego Chargers·Friday, January 29, 2016
Dear Chargers Fans,
Today I decided our team will stay in San Diego for the 2016 season and I hope for the long term in a new stadium.
I have met with Mayor Faulconer and Supervisor Roberts and I look forward to working closely with them and the business community to resolve our stadium dilemma. We have an option and an agreement with the Los Angeles Rams to go to Inglewood in the next year, but my focus is on San Diego.
This has been our home for 55 years, and I want to keep the team here and provide the world-class stadium experience you deserve.
Everyone on both sides of the table in San Diego must now determine the best next steps and how to deploy the additional resources provided by the NFL.
I am committed to looking at this with a fresh perspective and new sense of possibility.
With deep appreciation for your years of support,
Dean A. Spanos
Chairman"


Rare smart move by Spanos - moving to LA would be a disaster for the Chargers

I don't think #Chargers do this without having a comfort level something can work in SD

Not moving this year will only make it harder for Chargers to move next year. I read it as a good sign for the long-term future in SD.
