Given that Dean Spanos’ typical dinner hour is 6:30 p.m., and that, well, he’s pushing 66 years old, one concern you can immediately eliminate about the soon-to-be Angeleno is him getting caught up in the whole Hollywood scene.

His Chargers might call Los Angeles home now after spending the last 56 years in San Diego, but the lures and temptations and potential pitfalls of Tinseltown won’t be a problem for their long-time owner.

“No TMZ moments for me,” Spanos said, laughing. “In the event a camera crew jumps out of me coming out of a restaurant, I’ll just smile and nod and say: ‘I’m just ecstatic to be here in Los Angeles’ and keep on walking.”

Spanos’ smile and laugh indicated a man growing more and more comfortable with his new surroundings and the new world that awaits him. The last two weeks have been a non-stop blur that’s left precious little time for him to reflect or dwell on his decision to relocate the Chargers 120 miles north to Los Angeles.

But as each day passes, the reality of it all sets in and his mind shifts more and more from what he left behind to what lies ahead.

“This is an entirely different stage, a bigger stage, and there’s no doubt you already sense that,” Spanos said. “And for us, it’s full steam ahead.”

The key being moving forward, especially after a report surfaced over the weekend indicating the NFL is upset Spanos is relocating the Chargers to Los Angeles and that some owners hope he changes his mind and goes back.

To which Spanos replies: Not happening.

“That’s not even a consideration,” Spanos said. “There’s no looking back. We’re moving forward.”

The disappointment the NFL might feel is understandable, Spanos acknowledged. No one wanted to leave San Diego, least of all Spanos, who spent the last year chasing one final local stadium effort after being approved by fellow owners last January to relocate to Los Angeles.

“That vote was 30-2, by the way” Spanos reminded me.

But when the Chargers’ downtown stadium measure failed in a vote by San Diego residents last November, Spanos essentially turned his attention to Los Angeles, where an option to join the Rams awaited him.

And along with it, a fully financed $2.66 billion stadium in which the Chargers are responsible for none of the construction cost but reap or share most of the revenue streams. After paying off a $550 million relocation fee and the $1 dollar per year rent – it’s all profit after that.

And that provides Spanos with what he sought for so long in San Diego: At least 30 years of stadium security in a world-class, revenue-creating venue that will enable him and the Chargers to compete financially with the 31 other NFL teams.

Yes, there were some last-ditch efforts to buy the Chargers more time in San Diego, even after the November vote, but as the days and weeks and months passed and the deadline to exercise his L.A. option approached, Spanos knew what he had to do. In fact, the groundwork for the move began well before he made the announcement Jan. 11.

“This wasn’t a decision I just woke up and made two weeks ago,” Spanos said.

Nor did he make it with apprehension or half-heartedly.

“We want to be in Los Angeles,” Spanos said. “And we’re excited to be in Los Angeles.”

And he has hit the ground running.

There have been meetings with Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and Inglewood Mayor James Butts.

The owners of the Lakers, Kings and Clippers all opened their arms to him with welcome-to-Los-Angeles dinners and brunches. Each has lent advice and standing offers to reach out as needed as Spanos continues the process of settling into his new neighborhood.

“The response has been overwhelming and very much appreciated,” Spanos said. “Jeanie Buss, in particular, has been incredibly kind and gracious with her advice.”

Up ahead is a meeting with Los Angeles business mogul Casey Wasserman, who is heading L.A.’s 2024 Olympic bid. And every day is a chance to connect with the vast business community in Los Angeles and the surrounding communities.

“It’s a bit overwhelming, L.A. is so big and there are so many people to meet and connect with.” Spanos said. “That’s not going to happen over night. It’s a process that will take time. But it’s very, very important to us that we’re not just in Los Angeles, we’re a part of Los Angeles. And it’s been really exciting getting that part of the process started.”

There are challenges ahead, no doubt about it – creating a niche and building a fan base, first and foremost.

The Rams have a year’s head start in the market and nearly 50 years of history to tap into. The Raiders remain a strong presence. And the Lakers, Dodgers, Angels, USC, UCLA, Clippers, Kings, Ducks and Galaxy fill an incredibly packed local sports landscape.

Into that crowded community come the Chargers. And while they used the 21 years Los Angeles spent without an NFL presence to build what they say already makes up 25 percent of their ticket buyers, many more will have to jump on board to create a sustained base.

That doesn’t happen in a week or month or one or two years.

The Chargers will have to earn everything they get in Los Angeles.

“But I absolutely believe we’ll find our place,” Spanos said. “And that’s what’s so exciting, and why I can’t wait for the games to start. You can say all you want, do all you want, but ultimately it’s about the product you put on the field. That’s how you create history. That’s how you attract fans and build a fanbase.”

The Chargers will play the next two seasons at StubHub Center in Carson, and the 30,000-seat capacity offers a chance to ease into the market rather than force-feed things at the 90,000-seat Coliseum. The Chargers haven’t released season-ticket wait list numbers yet, but Spanos insists the only problem he anticipates is running out of seats to accommodate the interest.

“It’s going to be a great atmosphere and a great place to watch a football game,” Spanos said. “I think fans are in for a treat. I really do.”

Official kickoff for the Chargers’ new life is still eight months away. And plenty of work remains between now and then.

But more and more, you get the sense Spanos and his franchise are focused ahead rather than behind.
