San Diego Chargers to Stay Put for 2016 Season: Chairman

(Reuters) - The chairman of the San Diego Chargers said on Friday the team would stay in San Diego for the 2016 season, though the club has also reached an agreement with the Los Angeles Rams on sharing a Los Angeles-area stadium.

Chargers Chairman Dean Spanos said in a statement that he has been working with city lawmakers to find a resolution to their stadium woes. He said the team has an option to move with the Los Angeles Rams to a stadium in Inglewood next year, but added: "my focus is on San Diego."

"This has been our home for 55 years, and I want to keep the team here and provide the world-class stadium experience you deserve," Spanos said in a statement.
