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.

Maybe they will be the team in London.
That would be a great concept if they used the Ermines name. I bet ermines are somewhat nomadic.

On a related note, I was in North Dakota this weekend and passed through Dickinson. Their college's football team was named the "Blue Hawks", which made me laugh. Ermines was so much better than "Fighting Hawks". If I was a football player there, I'd transfer out purely out of creative protest.

The fascination with the Chargers among the people of CP continues to baffle me.

People here aren't just disinterested in the Chargers.

They actively dislike them and don't want them here.

That's what they said about ending apartheid, too. All it takes is a commitment to the cause.

The ticket prices are ridiculous as well. I have a feeling, even though it's only 27,000 the game is gonna get blacked out here locally. Dumb.

I'm lovin' it.

My wife, who doesn't watch sports of any kind, has asked me to teach her about the Rams. She has legitimate interest in rooting for the Rams soley out of spite for the Chargers. And she's serious too. I find that hilarious.
