For the first time in more than 20 years, Los Angeles could have a professional football team — or three.
The St. Louis Rams, the San Diego Chargers, and the Oakland Raiders filed applications with the NFL to move their franchises to L.A. for the 2016 football season, the league announced Monday. The Rams and Raiders were both based in L.A. until the mid ’90s.
NFL committees will begin to review each application this week and they will be presented to the league meeting for consideration next week. Franchise relocation requires approval from 24 of the 32 NFL clubs.
