An update the Oakland Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers will go San Diego this week

The reason here is that the Bay Area where the Raiders play is dealing with the fallout of Smoke from wildfires in Napa and Sonoma counties.

I don't see anything in that post where the game was going to be moved anywhere. According to ESPN the NFL has decided the teams will play in Oakland as planned: http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/...ep-game-oakland-monitor-air-quality-wildfires

Complete misreading of the story. It says only that the NFL is keeping an eye on the fire situation AND that San Diego's mayor has offered Qualcomm Stadium as a site IF the game were to be moved -- and the league already has the 49ers' stadium in Santa Clara in mine as a site! The subject line in the original post assumes far too much.

Regardless, the Chargers would likely never accept the invitation back to Qualcomm. Too risky from a marketing standpoint. The college game at Berkeley is going on as I write this, but they are watching levels of smoke to adhere to NCAA regulations on air quality. I don't believe the NFL is subject to any such restrictions.
