Raiders would be willing to shift divisions with move to L.A.
LOS ANGELES — Construction of an NFL stadium in the Los Angeles area could come with another change: a possible shift in division for the Raiders or the San Diego Chargers.
The Chargers and Raiders are rivals in the AFC West, which could make game scheduling and other issues difficult in a shared stadium.
The teams have made clear to the league and NFL owners that “you send us to L.A. and you’ll make the decision as to who plays in what conference or division,” Policy told reporters after detailing stadium plans for business leaders and a sports group at an event in downtown Los Angeles.
The renderings show an open-air stadium wrapped in steel bands, its seating shaded by canopies, with features that range from a nearby stage for live music performances to a farmers’ market.
