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.

Like that's going to convince people to sit in 90 minutes of traffic, each way, to go to Carson from WeHo.

I will never understand why they thought it would be smart to move two teams back to LA before they had proven that they would support one.
It has failed in the past and I see the Chargers leaving LA in the not so distant future.
Maybe back to SD, maybe not, but LA is not going to give a F about the Chargers.

I'll teach her all about them.

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.
Interesting take, you are probably right.

Hey, if it means I can fly 45 minutes and see the Chiefs in my home town with all my old friends once every year, it's a damn good thing. I bet I can get good seats cheap too.

Maybe they will be the team in London.
And they can change their name to the Bulldogs.

1920s NFL reference.
