Rumor: Chargers, Goldman Sachs to build L.A. stadium

Some jockstrap chat sites are running a rumor that the Chargers and Wall Street's Goldman Sachs will team up to build a stadium in Los Angeles.

The site rantsports.com ran a brief item on the rumor yesterday (January 23), attributing the story to Andy Strickland of CBS Sports. The Chargers' chief executive Dean Spanos "has a deal in place with Goldman Sachs to build a new stadium and the [National Football League] has asked him to hold off from announcing those plans," Strickland was quoted saying, citing St. Louis officials.

Stan Kroenke, multi-billionaire owner of the St. Louis Rams, has announced plans to build a stadium in the Los Angeles area and most scribes say he wants to move the Rams there.

Strickland mentioned that Spanos has locked up at least 9 NFL owners who would thumb down Kroenke's request to move the Rams to Los Angeles. To move the Rams, Kroenke would need the votes of 24 of 32 NFL owners. There is also a rumor that Kroenke would move the Rams without the league's permission. That could lead to all sorts of complications, including the Chargers suing the Rams, according to Strickland.

"Essentially, it seems like Spanos is putting all of he pieces in place to thwart the Rams' move," says rantsports.

In 2010, Alex Spanos — now suffering from severe dementia — hired Goldman Sachs to sell a minority interest in the Chargers. It's not clear if that ever happened.
