Cheap tickets for road fans.

But sadly that means owners are still making money on parking and concessions.

LA can support hoops. baseball. maybe some hockey.

but not football. college only.

If the Rams beat the Cowboys I bet you're going to see Rams fans coming out of the woodwork. I wouldn't be too quick to say LA football is kaput. The Chargers in LA is kind of a joke though. San Antonio?

Agreed, but I do think if they would've moved only the Raiders to LA they'd be drawing 80k/week. But this decision was about money and pie in the sky thinking. Total fucking flop and I'm enjoying every minute of it.

the rams should never have left in the first place, THATS the problem. raiders come and go, rams come and go...

how do you know who your team is going to be in 5 years? no stability = no fans.

Friend told me the Chargers want $114 for nosebleed seats. This could be the real reason they are only getting 20k at the Carson stadium.

and $100 parking. I wonder how much concessions cost? Truly an organization that thinks very, very little of their fanbase.

That, and Philip Rivers looks like he should have retired in 2004

Damn. Last time, I went to a game it was $20 or 25.

I'd agree with this.

Its the issue with St Louis, too. Cardinals and Rams both left in most people's lifetime so good luck getting the city to rally behind a third team.

Chargers in LA are basically a '3rd team' in LA and I dont think they have any chance.

Analogy...the Chargers are kind of like that brother that hit the skids and needed to move in with you for a while to get back on his feet. You don't want him to move in, but you couldn't tell him no.

Yep & being 0-3, facing an almost certain losing season, playing in a crap stadium for a few years & having an aging QB sure isn't helping things. An almost sure fire recipe for failure.

I think they're actually more than that, but there really are no nosebleed seats in a soccer stadium. They're all good seats. Kind of like flying on a 747 with only 40 passengers.

Let's see - remaining home games are vs Eagles, Broncos, Bills, Browns, Redskins & Raiders. I believe that all of those are teams w/ a strong presence in the LA area. Redskins already proved that vs Rams & Raiders no doubt will dominate the stadium. I wonder if the Chargers might scrap the player intros for most/all of the remainder of the season.
