The City of Angels is one step closer to acquiring a football team.

According to ProFootballTalk, the San Diego Chargers will not have sufficient time to get a measure on the ballot for a citywide vote concerning a new stadium to keep the team in San Diego.

Chargers special counsel Mark Fabiani released a statement, as noted by PFT:

Should the Chargers leave San Diego, the clear favorite to land the franchise is Los Angeles. The last time L.A. directly supported an NFL team was in 1994.

Unfortunately for the Chargers, quarterback Philip Rivers has not committed to the organization beyond the 2015 season. So, if the franchise relocates, they’ll need a new stadium and — very likely — a new quarterback.
