Not sure how this is even possible playing in the same division, seems it would be really hard to get a non conflicting schedule to work.

The San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders, rivals on the field, are moving forward together on a plan to build a $1.7-billion NFL stadium in Carson that they will share.

The Chargers and Raiders will continue to seek public subsidies for new stadiums in their home markets, but they are developing a detailed proposal for a privately financed Los Angeles venue in the event they can't get deals done in San Diego and Oakland by the end of this year, according to the teams.

In a statement given to The Times on Thursday, the Chargers and Raiders said: “We are pursuing this stadium option in Carson for one straightforward reason: If we cannot find a permanent solution in our home markets, we have no alternative but to preserve other options to guarantee the future economic viability of our franchises.”

They plan to immediately launch a petition drive for a ballot initiative to get voter approval to build the stadium.

This latest high-stakes move was precipitated by St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke, who announced in December his plan to build an 80,000-seat stadium on the land that used to be Hollywood Park.

That put pressure on the Chargers, who say 25% of their fan base is in Los Angeles and Orange counties. The Raiders, among the most financially strapped NFL teams, joined forces with the Chargers because they don't have the money build a stadium on their own.

There have been a lot of new stadium proposals recently.

Here is the Rams idea to keep them in St. Louis

San Diego has proposed a new stadium idea for the Chargers also, which looks like jiffy pop.

Unfortunately the Jaguars have plans laid out for a new practice facility. So I guess they are staying put to the dismay of Central Florida Dolphins fans.

And of course the new Falcons stadium

Either the Raiders or the Chargers will move to the NFC if the plan goes through and both would be okay with it. Sounds like this has been in the works for awhile.

The Falcons new stadium is insane. So if the Raiders or the Chargers go to the NFC, who comes over from the NFC?

I say bring the Seahawks back. They're an AFC team in my book. Now that they've gotten good I don't see it happening so my next guess is the Rams. It only makes sense Raiders/Chargers stay in a west division.
