1. The mercurial Al Davis is dead.
2. I think the stadium in Las Vegas will be a good home. Mark Davis and his mother own 47% of the team. Because of the way the Raiders are structured, they have control. Given that Mark has never married, has no children, and that people outside the family own 53% of the team, I'd think it's likely that there is already some sort of plan in place, perhaps with various limited options, that will go beyond Mark Davis' natural life.

If the Chargers are to relocate, it should be back to San Diego. Relocation back to San Diego requires intelligence and money.
If London wants a team, how about resurrecting NFL Europe?

I agree.
I'm a lifelong Raiders and 49ers fan, but for a long time, the Chargers were my third team. When I lived in Southern California I had friends who were part of a large group of long time season ticket holders. On any given weekend, at least a couple of the tickets were available re someone being out of town, etc. As a result, I've been to more Chargers home games than home games for either the Raiders, the 49ers, or the Rams.
If someone managed to do it (move the team back to San Diego with a new stadium), I'd make trips from out state just to go to some games. The most avid of the season ticket holders I used to go to games with would also go to all of the regular season away games.
