Rams fans aren't particularly excited to share a stadium with the Chargers

The now-Los Angeles Rams will probably have a co-tenant in their new Inglewood home.

Don't tell that to their new, Los Angeles-based fans, though. Roughly 200 of them booed the concept of splitting a stadium with the San Diego Chargers when the topic was broached at an introductory press conference.

That possibility didn't sit well with the crowd. Boos and catcalls echoed through the arena and caused Demoff to briefly stop until his words could be heard. The murmurs of discontent resurfaced a few minutes later when Kroenke was asked about the Chargers moving to L.A. More boos almost drowned out the question."We don't want them!" several fans shouted.

Kroenke was adamant about pushing his two-team plan. He cited the two-team preference held by league owners, market studies, and the possibility of a USC-UCLA-like rivalry.

Nothing worked. Rams fans want L.A. to themselves, even if an AFC partner will likely join them.
