The Los Angeles Chargers will be returning to San Diego for two training camp practices at Torero Stadium on July 22-23. The team spent 56 years in San Diego before moving to LA in 2017. The decision to move was due to an inability to reach an agreement on a new stadium with the city.
The Los Angeles Chargers have announced their training camp schedule, which includes two practices in San Diego at University of San Diego’s Torero Stadium [1]. The team will return to the city where they spent 56 years, from 1961 to 2017, before relocating to Los Angeles [2].
The training camp practices will take place on July 22-23, with the July 22 practice being the first in full pads and open exclusively to active-duty service members, veterans, and their families. This practice will be a significant event for the community, as it allows those who have served to engage with the team in a unique way [1].
The Chargers will report to camp on Wednesday, July 16, and their first practice will be held the following day. They will celebrate NFL Training Camp: Back Together Weekend on Saturday, July 26, with highlights including giveaways, food and beverage offerings, and autograph sessions with Chargers Legends [1].
In total, 17 practices will be open to fans, with a capacity limited to 1,500 fans per practice. All training camp practices are free of charge, but pre-registration is required. Registration will take place in waves through the Chargers' official website, with Week 1 practices available for registration starting July 7 [1].
This return to San Diego marks a significant milestone for the Chargers, as they look to reconnect with their roots and engage with their community. The team's decision to move to Los Angeles in 2017 was due to an inability to reach an agreement on a new stadium with the city [2].
