Chargers fail to draw a bigger crowd than L.A. Galaxy for their preseason debut
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/c...eseason-debut/

Yes, an NFL team playing in a soccer stadium can't outdraw the soccer team that plays there

Despite the fact that it's only preseason, when teams move there's usually a certain buzz around a team's first game in a new stadium. The Los Angeles Chargers' move, however, has been controversial from the jump. For their preseason opener on Sunday night, 21,054 fans went to the StubHub Center (which has a capacity of 27,000) to see the Chargers get routed by the Seahawks. For comparison, the Los Angeles Galaxy of the MLS had 25,667 in attendance the previous night.

The Chargers' welcome to L.A. has been significantly less than warm so far. Between them getting booed at the Staples Center in January and their new logo being mocked into the ground upon its unveiling, the Chargers will really need to work to get into the good graces of the city. Obviously it isn't impossible, and winning cures all, but it's no easy task in the vaunted AFC West. Perhaps the city will warm up to the Chargers in the near future, but with the Rams' move already being controversial, it shouldn't come as a surprise that fickle L.A. fans are wary of another team.

StubHub Center being a temporary home may also be a factor. Soccer games are played in football stadiums with some frequency, but the opposite is rarely true. The Chargers will be sharing a new palatial home with the Rams in Inglewood that is expected to be ready come 2020. It will have a capacity of 70,240. Hopefully the Chargers have a bigger following by then, because 20,000 people would look awfully lonely in that space.

His new landlord is a multi billionaire with actual real liquid money who also happens to be his #1 competitor for fans who will sabotage him at every turn.

Hope your team likes inexplicable cold showers and the lights turning off randomly.

Why wouldn't you give LA (2) NFL teams....they've always proven to be such a loyal fan market.

This will be a dismal failure.

Lincoln falls under Chiefs territory. It wouldn't work.

I think Chargers should come up with a bran new identity. Like The No Mans Lands Team.


Maybe Rain Man could make us a poll and we could submit it to Roger for approval?

I think that's kinda the plan. The Chargers will be worth a lot more being a bitch in Kronkworld vs free roam in a shit dump Qualcomm.

Spanos didn't want to renovate Qualcomm and Spanos didn't want a stadium in gaslamp. He knew those weren't going to happen.

He's cash-poor and he doesn't care about the team, the players, the fans or Kroenke or anything. He moved to LA to inflate the value of the team because he's going to sell that shit for 4 times the value.

Don't blame the people of San Diego for saying no to a broke ass owner asking people to pay for his stadiums. That downtown plan not only would cost tons of money it would screw up traffic downtown irreparably, even worse than it is now.

He never expected that to pass, it was so he could leave. He only cares about money.

The best anyone can hope for is the next owner moving the team back to San Diego in a new stadium paid for by private funding. Spanos isn't going to seriously even try to win LA over. He doesn't give a shit.

Chargers in LA was a terrible idea. The Rams can be successful but Kronke just wanted another tenant in his new stadium. Chargers could have relocated to Orange county and called themselves the Southern California Chargers and kept their original fanbase.

When the Chiefs played in San Diego, I would say conservatively that they had 15,000 fans at every game. Move it to LA where you'll pick up those fans plus those like me who live a bit far from SD and we'll flood the secondary market and turn that soccer stadium RED.
I remember an interview Merlin Olsen gave years ago about playing for the Rams in LA. He said in his NFL career, he never played one home game.

Well apparently the Chargers are aware of their lack of fans and are making efforts to fix that.
