Stadium arcadium

The Chargers are now free to talk to any city about relocating. They've been out scouting the county for sites including the latest proposal from Oceanside. They say they won't talk to other cities outside the area until they exhaust their San Diego options. But why is it they seem to be so accommodating?

For one thing, no city in America is going to build them a stadium for free (read, no sweetheart deals). Two, they can make a better case for relocation if they indeed "exhaust all San Diego possibilities." And three, LA is still trying to work out their own stadium solution. Once that's resolved, the rush will be on league-wide to relocate there. See where this one is going?
