SAN DIEGO -- Marisa Cali left San Diego at midnight on Monday, making the eight-hour drive north on I-5 to San Francisco with fellow San Diego Chargers fan Jim Wolak to show support for their team at spring NFL owners meetings.

Oakland Raiders and Chargers fans gathered outside the Ritz-Carlton Hotel to voice support for their teams staying in their home markets, chanting “Stay in Oakland, save our Bolts.”

Even Raiders owner Mark Davis ventured outside to talk with fans and sign autographs.

“If you let the Raiders move with the Chargers to L.A., you’re killing a rivalry that’s decades old,” Cali said.

It’s been a roller-coaster ride between the city of San Diego and the Chargers in an effort to get a stadium done in San Diego, and fans like Cali and Wolak are caught in the middle.

Just Monday alone, they experienced the high of the citizens’ stadium advisory group announcing a finance plan for a $1.1 billion multi-use facility at the Mission Valley site to house the Chargers, only to go through a low when news broke that the Chargers hired former NFL executive Carmen Policy to lead the team’s effort in building a $1.7 billion stadium with the Raiders in Carson, California.

“It just seems like the business side of it is getting so nasty,” said Jeremiah Liebrecht, a Chargers’ fan who lives in San Francisco. “It just seems like betrayal, and it’s not good for all of the fans who have been Chargers’ fans all of our lives.”

Liebrecht said he regularly attends the Chargers’ game against the Raiders when the team travels to Oakland. And on game days when he doesn’t travel down to San Diego to attend a game at Qualcomm Stadium, he watches his team at local bar Danny Coyle’s. Liebrecht said about 200 Chargers fans on game days to the San Francisco bar.

“We pack it out every week,” Liebrecht said.

Wolak, 22, is a Pennsylvania native who grew up rooting for the Chargers and recently moved to San Diego. A recent graduate of Temple University, Wolak is filming a documentary on the Chargers and the stadium issue.

Wolak was asked what he would do if he saw Chargers president Dean Spanos leaving the hotel where the spring owners meetings are being held.

“I’m not going to go after him with weapons,” Wolak said, with a laugh. “I feel for him. Maybe we're not the most loyal fans. We don’t fill up the stadium with our own fans. But I want him to know that the fans he does have care so much about it.”

But if the Chargers relocate to Los Angeles, the support for the team will end for Liebrecht.

“If they move, then I’m done,” Liebrecht said. “I mean I’m not going to burn my jerseys or nothing, but I’m definitely going to hang them up and shrink wrap them, and just think back fondly on the team.”
