THE San Diego Chargers and Los Angeles Rams reached an agreement on Friday, Jan. 29, in principle to share a future football stadium in Inglewood, California that is set for completion in 2019.

However, Chargers owner Dean Spanos said in a message to fans on the team’s website that the team will play in San Diego this year.

“Today I decided our team will stay in San Diego for the 2016 season and I hope for the long term in a new stadium,” he said in a message to Chargers fans posted on the team’s website.

Spanos has been demanding a new stadium for more than a decade, but has been met with the recession, limited options for sites and the city’s former financial problems, according to the Times of San Diego. In addition to remaining in the city for another season, the team announced it would try to get a stadium built.

There is no word yet on whether or not the Chargers will actually relocate to Los Angeles, but the team has until Jan. 15, 2017 to decide whether or not it wants to move.

The Chargers will be able to extend the option to Jan. 15, 2018, should a referendum for public financing in San Diego not be approved before Nov. 15 this year, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune.

In his letter to Charger fans, Spanos expressed that he would prefer to stay in San Diego.

“I have met with Mayor Faulconer and Supervisor Roberts and I look forward to working closely with them and the business community to resolve our stadium dilemma. We have an option and an agreement with the Los Angeles Rams to go to Inglewood in the next year, but 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,” he said.

Should the Chargers reach a new stadium deal in San Diego, the NFL said it would give an additional $100 million in support, on top of a $200 million loan from the league, according to USA Today.

A new stadium in San Diego would probably cost a minimum of $1.1 billion, including hundreds of millions of publicly funded dollars that could be approved or rejected in a public vote later this year, USA Today reported.

News of the agreement between the teams comes a little over two weeks after the NFL voted to allow the Rams to move from St. Louis, Missouri to Los Angeles.

It also comes one day after reports that the Chargers are scouting a parcel of land in Santa Ana to serve as a temporary training facility and headquarters, in the event they move to Los Angeles, according to the Los Angeles Daily News.
