LA: They Are Who We Thought They Were

[RP-29]

LA + NFL = FAIL

Week 2 attendance
Chargers - 25,381 / 30,000 = 84.6% capacity
Rams - 56,612 / 93,607 = 60.5% capacity

For relational reference:
2017 NFL Football Attendance - National Football League - ESPN

JOKE

Kinda unfair to compare a couple recent transplant organizations to one of the most historic and beloved sports franchises in the country, but the Green Bay Packers sold out Lambeau Field for a pre-preseason scrimmage.

Note:
[#2] Los Angeles metropolitan population = 13,310,447
[#157] Green Bay metropolitan population = 318,236

Never deserved one team, nevermind 2

Not to mention, any "fans" that jump on now, arent real, lifelong fans anyway

Just a shitty shitshow

Makes you wonder how both teams will be able to fill a 70k+ stadium in a few years for a sustained period of time unless either/both of these teams become title contenders. The Chargers move really is a head scratcher.

Texas-USC had bigger crowd than Rams and Chargers games combined

 

[Sgt Brutus]

Pics I saw of the Chargers game looked even less than 85%

I hope they owner is forced to sell for his stupid move and the team is moved back to SD

Oftentimes, corporations buy tickets. Chances are, the tickets were purchased, but no one from the company cared enough to show up.

Parking for the Chargers' Los Angeles opener costs an obscene $100

Charging $100 for parking sure didn't help attract fans. Who is running this sorry organization?

Fire Goodell.

This is all his work.

Rams should have never left St. Louis.

San Diego doesn't deserve that team. Should have moved the team to a city that cares about NFL football instead of chasing the unicorn.

Jerry charges $75. So figuring in cost of living indexes, $100 is a steal.

I guess.

5 Reasons Why the Rams Want to Leave St. Louis

Whether it is the rt thing to do or not - it appears that the Rams relocated for basically the same reason as the Chargers & the Raiders. Their current stadium was not good enough & they had a much better stadium deal elsewhere. That is sadly just the current state of the NFL.

The Chargers & Rams owners probably don't care that much about lackluster fan support. They are in a huge TV market & have their new stadium (& a future SB) already in place. I am not saying that I agree with any of this - this is just reality at this time.

Not even close to the same situation.

The Chargers had been getting denied for over a decade by the city.

St. Louis had a stadium plan when the Rams left.

The games won't be seen if they don't sellout.

Blackout rules much??

Cowboys are not trying to build up their product so they can pretty much charge whatever they like.

The TV money will be there regardless. It is not about just showing games in your market. Read the article - it appeared that the Rams proposed stadium plan was inadequate. Again - I am not stating that this is the rt thing to do - just the way things work in the NFL. I feel bad if you were a diehard Rams fan & the team was yanked out from under you.

Inadequate because Kronkie had a dream and the NFL is corrupt.

The NFL changed the parameters the Rams had to meet in terms of local financial support after the proposal was given.

Shady things were done but I don't expect you to know or care - it would be cool if you didn't talk about what you don't know about though.

Chill out dude. Again - I didn't say that I agree with it & also stated that I feel bad about the fans who lost a team. You are basically making the same pt as me - this is all about owners finding a way to make more $$ - which they will one way or another. Not sure why you have to be such a jerk when making a reply.

This shit pisses me off. St. Louis got robbed. I apologize for taking it out on you.
