Chargers, Jaguars, Vikings, Rams & Raiders Among Football Teams that Could Move to SoCal
Although the proposed football stadium in the city of Industry awaits an important, yet possibly disastrous environmental vote in the State Senate, planners are eying what teams they could bring to Los Angeles County.
