On Tuesday, January 12, 2016, the City of Carson received unwanted news – the NFL did not approve Carson as the site for the return of professional football to the City of Angels. By a vote of 30-2, the NFL owners voted to allow the St. Louis Rams to move to Inglewood, Ca.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego Chargers, Oakland Raiders and St. Louis Rams filed for relocation to the Los Angeles area on Monday night, trying not to be left out in the race to return the NFL to the nation’s second-largest market after a 21-year absence. The Chargers want to partner with the AFC West rival Raiders on a stadium in Carson. Chargers chairman Dean Spanos has had the right to leave San Diego since 2008, but the team’s long, contentious efforts to replace aging Qualcomm Stadium became more aggressive after Rams owner Stan Kroenke announced plans to build
NFL franchise owners have scheduled a meeting in January to vote for one of the two 20-year vacancy proposals for a stadium in Los Angeles. The San Diego Chargers have partnered with the Oakland Raiders to propose a $1.75 billion stadium in Carson while the St. Louis Rams desires to build a $1.86 billion stadium Inglewood, according to the LA Times. Cities of St Louis, Oakland, and San Diego must submit their plans to keep their franchises by Dec. 29. The franchise owners will deliberate the two plans on January 12. If 24 owners approve on the same plan, the
