/dev/null Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 LA had problems supporting one NFL franchise in the past so the NFL relocates two there And USC outdrew both NFL teams...combined https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2017/9/17/16322710/rams-chargers-attendance-usc-texas
devldog131 Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 I've been saying for years that LA already has a pro team playing in the Coliseum...
YoloinOhio Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) The worst part about the Chargers game is that of the people who did go, they were half Miami fans. The players seemed embarrassed. There was a huge cheer when they missed the FG. Edited September 19, 2017 by YoloinOhio
Buffalo_Stampede Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 They aren't there for ticket sales they're there for corporate money.

Deranged Rhino Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 Imagine what it will be like when the Bills play there. It's going to be great, I can't wait. Easy to get really good seats for cheap.
Guffalo Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 I heard this morning on the radio, parking for the chargers game was $100 per car!! If I pulled up and there was a guy asking for $100 to park I would have handed him the tickets and drove away. Who the hell is paying that kind of money to park? (Hammer, don't get any ideas!!)
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) Why would the chargers agree to play in that little stadium? There wasn't a better option? How many stadiums are there in that general area, that could host 8 games? Edited September 19, 2017 by Brianmoorman4jesus
YoloinOhio Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 I believe they wanted the Rose Bowl but the Rose Bowl said no. They thought coliseum was in bad part of town. Still, some of those guys played for larger crowds at an open practice in college than they get for actual games.

(Hammer, don't get any ideas!!) people go berzerk if they are told $20

The crazy thing is people actually agreed to pay it.
row_33 Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 I've parked outside Chicago Stadium years back and told by a young hood that for $100 my tires wouldn't be slashed when I got back from the game.
major Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 The NFL is declining, not only in LA but places like Jacksonville. Time to get rid of some teams. If they move to London, you will see this same effect. In fact, the Raiders are about to be in for wake up call when they move to Las Vegas and the crowds aren't there.

IDBillzFan Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 This shouldn't surprise anyone. USC draws generations of alumni in the stands. It could be the USC Kennel Show and the place would out sell the Rams and Chargers.

I'm in the minority that actually thinks the Raiders will do well in LV. Tons of visitors every day to that town. I don't think they will be thought of as a Pro Sports team rather than an attraction to see like Blue Man Group or 2 Moes 1 Tiger.
Kelly the Dog Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 I've parked outside Chicago Stadium years back and told by a young hood that for $100 my tires wouldn't be slashed when I got back from the game. Exact same thing happened to me, except the kid said $5. We saw a cop a block away and mentioned it to him. The cop, aghast, said, "What are you fukking crazy? Pay the kid the five bucks!"
SoCal Deek Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 Why would the chargers agree to play in that little stadium? There wasn't a better option? How many stadiums are there in that general area, that could host 8 games? There really aren't any other stadiums in the LA Basin. The only other stadiums are the Coliseum, where the Rams already play, and the Rose Bowl, which is very particular about who they allow due to its location on a golf course in a residential area. (presently only UCLA calls the Rose Bowl home). Believe it or not, there are no other options.
