Yeah after no football in LA in 22 years and no Rams in the Coliseum since the 1970s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosioux76 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I know this is probably a fever dream, but I'm still harboring a conspiracy theory that this Chargers move to StubHub Center is one in a series of intentional half-steps intended to get the team back to San Diego. First you threaten to move, then you reach a deal to move but give yourself a year to work out a stadium deal, then finally you ACTUALLY move but to an embarrassingly inadequate (by NFL standards) facility until someone else's stadium is built. Somewhere in some corner office in San Diego, Dean Spanos is saying to himself: "Now we've got 'em. They'll beg to get us back." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I wonder what the Chargers position will be if they can't draw crowds in Inglewood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'd like to think he's at least that scheming... reality is he actually thought this move to LA was a good idea. It's going to take the NFL to save Dean from himself.

Lights Out Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Furthermore, if this was all to get a stadium built in San Diego, Deano made it nearly impossible for that to happen by pissing off the taxpayers, local government, and his fellow owners. If the Spanos family were ever interested in building a stadium in San Diego, they'd have abandoned their downtown plans that nobody else wanted and agreed to build one in Mission Valley. Their refusal to compromise speaks volumes. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming they sold out the preseason tickets, selling 27,000 preseason tickets and 21,000 showing up is pretty good. that's 77%. Most stadiums sell 60-70,000 (they are all sold with season tickets) but usually 50% or less show up. So 21K out of 27K seats is pretty good. Its not like 21,000 showed up from 70,000 seats.

Gothamite Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Do we know that 21,000 is the number that showed up? Or is that 21K the number of tickets they sold? The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 People making excuses for the Chargers being unable to sell out a 27,000 seat soccer stadium has to got be the most hilarious thing posted here. The Galaxy, in the midst of their worst season in a decade, outdrew them. The shots of the crowd showed a lot of empty seats and tarps galore. The game got a higher rating in San Diego than LA. Nothing about this looks good, and it's more and more apparent that this was a huge cluster .

In both instances, regardless of the different circumstances, don't forget the draw of the Cowboys, especially in an area without football for years.
