Any chance that Phillip Rivers

Here's what a Chargers game at StubHub Center will look like in 2017 | FOX Sports

Good Lord.

With that few seats they could really charge a lot.

Pretty ironic for a field named for what is essentially a ticket-scalping web site, right?

My thoughts exactly. but they can't have a team in a city that has gambling, because that would send the wrong message

This should put the rumors that Rivers won't go to LA to bed. He seems to be onboard with the idea & actually had a good time joking about the subject.

If you put it that way I understand the situation. Feeling that the team is not going to contend in your last few years is a different matter. Ditto for playing in a stadium that seats less than 30k. BTW - why in the hell are they playing in that stadium anyhow? Can't they play for a few years in Anaheim Stadium, the Rose Bowl or even share the Coliseum? Doesn't appear to make sense.

Optics. They want to play in a sold out stadium, and based on the comments of a few big names in sports media like Peter King, Jim Rome, etc...they might even have a hard time selling 27k seats. Imagine how bad 25k in the Coliseum would look.

Personally I think they will sell out most games depending on who the opponent is. But some games will be heavily attended by fans of their opponents - especially the Raider game.

Yep - they play the Redskins in LA this year & I have been telling my fellow Redskins fans there to buy tickets early. How pathetic that you have to play in basically an FCS sized stadium just to achieve a sellout.
