Now that the entertainment sports market in L.A. just got more crowded with the announcement Thursday that the San Diego Chargers were relocating to Los Angeles, the Clippers said that they “welcome” the area’s second NFL team. They played in Buffalo from 1970-78 before moving to San Diego and becoming the Clippers. Chargers owner Dean Spanos announced his decision to move the team from San Diego to Los Angeles in a letter posted on the team’s website. Similar to the Clippers arrangement with the Lakers at Staples Center, the Chargers are expected to share the new stadium that the Rams are building in Inglewood. "We welcome the Chargers to Los Angeles,” Zucker said, “and believe that the NBA and the Steve Ballmer-led Clippers are a strong, world-renowned brand that will thrive and shine in any situation."
