The NFL feels the Chargers fans' pain, according to commissioner Roger Goodell.

The Chargers were formally welcomed into Los Angeles in a press conference and pep rally on Wednesday, but after the ceremony, Goodell shared some words for the fans in San Diego.

"We're hurting, too," Goodell said in a video captured by Marty Caswell of 1090AM in San Diego. "We feel bad for the fans that are there because we know how much they supported the Chargers and that's why we all worked so hard to get that stadium fixed."

The Chargers bolted up the coast for L.A. after more than 50 years in San Diego.

"We're disappointed for the fans, we're disappointed for ourselves," Goodell said.

He added that the Los Angeles market will be able to support both the Chargers and the Rams.
