About the Los Angeles Chargers:
For 57 seasons, the Chargers have led the fight to stretch the
imagination and give fans the most exciting show in football.
Behind the dramatic games, unforgettable highlights, beloved
players, groundbreaking performances and one of the best uniforms
in the NFL lies an uncompromising drive for success – one rooted in
toughness, resilience and old-fashioned hard work. A charter member
of the American Football League, the franchise was established in
Los Angeles in 1960 and called the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum
home during its first year of existence. From 1961 to 2016, the
team played in San Diego. Advancing to five of the first six AFL
Championship games ever played, the Chargers claimed the 1963 title
and later joined the National Football League when the two leagues
merged in 1970. Since the merger, the Chargers have gone on to
appear in Super Bowl XXIX and have captured an additional 10
division titles. The Chargers were purchased by construction leader
and real estate developer Alex G. Spanos in 1984 and have been
under the guidance of Spanos’ eldest son Dean, the team’s current
Chairman of the Board, since 1994. Dean Spanos’ sons – A.G. Spanos,
President of Business Operations, and John Spanos, President of
Football Operations – oversee the day to day operations of the
franchise. The Chargers returned to Los Angeles in 2017 and will
play all home games at StubHub Center while the new L.A. Stadium
and Entertainment District at Hollywood Park is constructed. For
