The Chargers are staying in San Diego.

For now.

The disgruntled local team was given conditional approval by NFL owners on Tuesday night to move to Los Angeles County and join Stan Kroenke in the Inglewood stadium he plans to build for his St. Louis Rams .

But the Chargers have also been given time to possibly work out a stadium deal in San Diego, which would almost certainly hinge on the success of a public vote either this June or November.

The Oakland Raiders , with whom the Chargers had proposed a shared stadium in Carson, withdrew their request to relocate before owners convened for a final vote Tuesday evening in Houston.

The Chargers have until January 2017 to opt for Inglewood. But that deadline could be extended to January 2018 if public financing for a new stadium is approved by San Diego voters this November or sometime earlier.

Chargers owner Dean Spanos and Kroenke and their representatives are immediately moving forward to explore joint use of the Inglewood stadium, according to a variety of sources, who say the league is facilitating the effort.

If the Chargers decide not to exercise their option, the Raiders will be given a one-year window to decide whether to join the Rams there.

In a press conference Tuesday night, Spanos wouldn't commit to reviving negotiations with San Diego officials.

"I'm going to look at all our options," he said. "It's very difficult to say 'I'm going to do this or do that.' "

Mayor Kevin Faulconer and county Supervisor Ron Roberts said Tuesday night they'd be glad to revive negotiations with the Chargers as long as the team is serious.

"If Mr. Spanos has a sincere interest in reaching a fair agreement in San Diego, we remain committed to negotiating in good faith," Faulconer and Roberts said in a joint statement. "We are not interested in a charade by the Chargers if they continue to pursue Los Angeles.”

They've also scheduled a City Hall press conference for 11 a.m. Wednesday.

At the Houston press conference on Tuesday night, Commissioner Roger Goodell said the Chargers and Raiders would each receive an extra $100 million toward stadium construction in their home markets. That's in addition to the $200 million the league typically contributes to stadium projects.

Goodell declined to reveal the size of the relocation fee paid by the Rams, saying it was information meant only for the league's owners. The league previously said it would cost $550 million per franchise to move to Los Angeles.

The commissioner said owners opted for the Inglewood proposal over Carson because it was the best option for the league's long-term prospects in the Los Angeles area. The final vote was 30-2.

Kroenke, the Rams owner, said he's willing to allow the Chargers -- or the Raiders in 2017 or 2018 -- to become part owners of the Inglewood stadium or lease from him as a tenant.

The Rams are expected to play in the L.A. Coliseum until the Inglewood stadium is completed, probably in time for the 2019 season. Multiple reports Tuesday night said the University of Southern California has agreed to let the Chargers join the Rams at the Coliseum if they opt for Inglewood before the 2016 NFL season begins this September.

The Chargers have quietly been preparing for the possibility they would be forced back to the table in San Diego. They could launch their own citizens' initiative for a November ballot measure.

Spanos read a statement before answering questions.

“My goal from the start of this process was to create the options necessary to safeguard the future of the Chargers franchise while respecting the will of my fellow NFL owners,” he said. “I will be working over the next several weeks to explore these options we have now created for ourselves to determine the best path forward for the Chargers.”

The NFL's decision means San Diego has narrowly – and perhaps temporarily – avoided being without the Chargers for the first time since 1961, a 55-year span during which the team has become one of the city’s most recognizable civic institutions.

While experts say the economic damage of the Chargers leaving would probably be minor at the most, San Diego’s image could have suffered outside the city and local community pride could have taken a hit, especially among the team’s more enthusiastic fans.

The Chargers’ departure would leave San Diego with only one franchise among the nation’s four major sports leagues: the Padres. The Clippers’ departure in 1984 cost the city its NBA franchise, and San Diego has never had an NHL team.

Tuesday's vote ends a year of tough negotiation, maneuvering and speculation as the Chargers, Raiders and Rams fought over the financial potential that Los Angeles, the nation's No. 2 market, represents.

Los Angeles hasn't had pro football since after the 1994 season, when the Rams and Raiders simultaneously left.

Stadium negotiations between the Chargers and San Diego officials ended in June with the team walking away.

A starting point for negotiations could be the final offer from the city and county last fall. The team could also revive the possibility of a downtown stadium or suggest other options.

In September, Faulconer and Roberts announced plans for a new $1.1 billion stadium in Mission Valley on the Qualcomm Stadium site.

The proposal, which would have needed cooperation from the Chargers and approval by a simple majority of city voters, included $350 million in public money — $200 million from the city and $150 million from the county.

The remainder of the stadium financing would have been $200 million from the league, $362.5 million from the Chargers and $187.5 million from seat licenses.

Another possibility is a proposal last fall from attorney Cory Briggs to possibly build a joint convention center/stadium project downtown.

Faulconer has said he’s willing to consider that approach, but support would also be needed from local hotel owners. And the plan, which is an initiative, would also require voter approval.

Many Chargers fans have said negotiations would be unlikely to succeed if Mark Fabiani, the team's special counsel, remains part of the process. Fabiani was a contentious figure last year, harshly criticizing Mayor Faulconer and other city officials.

Tuesday’s vote ends a brisk two weeks of activity in which the three affected cities – San Diego, St. Louis and Oakland – made their final pitches to the league, the NFL then declared each pitch inadequate and all three franchises applied for relocation.

Tuesday’s vote culminates a battle that heated up in last winter when Rams owner Stan Kroenke announced plans to build his proposed Inglewood stadium project with no taxpayer assistance.

The Chargers had already said Kroenke's plans for L.A. were a game changer for them, and this announcement prompted San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer to create a stadium task force last January to try to keep the team. But a month later, the Chargers and Raiders announced a competing stadium proposal in Carson.

The Chargers have repeatedly said that Qualcomm Stadium is hopelessly inadequate and that allowing any other franchise into the L.A. market would crush the team financially.

The team says it has pursued at least nine different stadium solutions since 2004, though some say that’s an exaggeration and that many of those proposals lacked financial details.

It’s unclear how Tuesday’s potential reprieve will politically affect Faulconer, a Republican. He’s been viewed as a heavy favorite to be re-elected this year, with the only Democrat willing to challenge him dropping out of the race last month.
