Make way, LA Galaxy. You have a guest coming.
It was announced on Thursday that the Galaxy's stadium, StubHub Center, in Carson, Calif., will serve as the temporary home of the NFL's Chargers in 2017. The Chargers announced earlier in the day that they would be relocating from San Diego to Los Angeles.
“We are excited to welcome the Chargers to StubHub Center,” said AEG President and CEO Dan Beckerman in a statement. “This is a world-class facility that will give fans and our community a unique and intimate experience during NFL games. We’ve had a longstanding friendship with the Chargers and the Spanos family and I would like to commend the Chargers on this bold and innovative decision to move to StubHub Center.
"It is truly a testament to how strongly the Chargers feel about the fan experience and their willingness to create something special for people in Southern California.”
StubHub Center, which is located on the campus of California State University Dominguez Hills, will seat 30,000 fans for Chargers games. The NFL team will play on days that do not conflict with the Galaxy's regular-season schedule, which was unveiled today.
“The experience for our fans at StubHub Center will be fun and entertaining, and every seat will feel close to the action,” said A.G. Spanos, the president of business operations for the Chargers. “This is a unique opportunity to see NFL action in such an intimate setting.”
