Sure were a lot of empty seats at the LA Coliseum.
I can't understand why LA hasn't had a team in 20 years or so, then gets 2 teams in one season. The owners clearly think they can make more money with the Chargers AND Rams in LA. I guess we'll find out when the new stadium is complete.
empty seats at NFL stadiums is the norm for many teams right now,thats going on everywhere. The owners have killed the game with all these relocations. they were that stupid to not understand moving a team away to another city would hurt their fan base in each of these three cases here below.
First they had no idea how they were going to destroy the league so badly letting the Rams leave LA in the first place,the most moronic decision ever letting them go to a no name hicktown that never embraced football
They are paying for it now because people in LA were deprived of an NFL team for so long they found other things to do on sundays.there is plenty of stuff to do in LA so they are back at rebuilding all over again trying to win a fanbase back they left.
The Rams can fix things with attendance next season with how they are winning because THEY have the history there in LA.Chargers are a hopeless cause though even if they win.
the niners and chargers are going through the exact same problem the rams did most their time in st louis,having half empty stadiums with most the fans being from the opposing teams.
They were as equally as moronic letting the niners go to santa clara because it is mostly fans from the opposing teams who up for those games in that half empty stadium all the time,they priced out the loyal fans the blue collar workers and are paying for it.
Now to their stupidity,they let the chargers go to LA. the chargers and niners are having the exact same problem the Rams had the majority of their time they were in st louis,with half empty stadiums with most of then being from the opposing fans.
the ONLY team move that was justified was the Rams going back to LA but as i said,they are even paying for that trying to get fans in LA interested again, with them winning they should be in good shape for next year though with a packed stadium again. their slowly getting bigger crowds there each week.
spannos and goodel are in denial mode,they dont get it that it does not matter if they win,that nodboy in LA will ever see the chargers. a couple years from now when they see the attendance has not improved,they will wise up and demand that spanos take them back to san diego but that wont do any good because the fans there wont go to a game again as long as he is the owner.
so the NFL has fucked themselves losing a great market in the process.the chargers are nobodys team now,nobody in SD is driving up to see the games and nobody in LA wants them there.
