SAN DIEGO _ The Chargers have decided to leave San Diego, their home of 56 years, and move to Los Angeles, ESPN reported Wednesday night.
A source confirmed to The San Diego Union-Tribune that team Chairman Dean Spanos has called a staff meeting for 8 a.m. Thursday, at which time he is expected to inform his employees that the team will be moving. Spanos then plans to be in Los Angeles later in the day.
The ESPN story by writer Adam Schefter also said that a league source cautioned "Spanos has yet to send a formal relocation letter to the NFL, yet to notify public officials in Los Angeles or San Diego of the team's move, or even tell the members of the San Diego organization about his plans.
