The Rams awful attendance, the Raiders recent successes, and the Chargers being wholly uncompetitive are all relevant factors in the question of Can/Will LA Support The Chargers? "Official" attendance is over 83K a game, which is second the NFL, they just happen to play in a stadium for 95K. But yeah, I also know that even though that number is the official number, there are a ton of people who aren't going and tons of people who are leaving early when they get blown out. Still, its not exactly a disaster right now. It is worth noting, they were planning on capping attendance at 80K before the season by not selling the bleacher seats (USC Student section and visitors sections), but decided to sell them as cheap seats after high early sales (when people were expecting a good season) The Glumslinger fucked around with this message at 22:59 on Dec 14, 2016 |

As far as I know there's no other alternative, just as there was not a year ago when they added the Chargers option to the LA deal.

How does Spanos not get that Kroenke will do everything in his power, every single day to sabotage and undermine the Charger franchise and its growth in LA?

Giving Spanos land that isn't available and money that the populace voted against giving? Spanos is trying his hardest to turn his 'win-lose' situation into some dire 'lose-lose horribly' scenario by burning every bridge for an extra dollar that isn't even assured. How the gently caress can he be so short sighted about this, anyway? He's gambling 80% of his fanbase and potentially owning his arena in exchange for a 5% bump in team value and a complete loss of non-branding revenue.

I'd be shocked at this rate if we don't have an announcement at the 4th quarter whistle of their last game this season. Like I said, the NFL has approved the Chargers to relocate. Spanos and Kroenke still have to come to an agreement on whether it'll be as a partner or a tenant and what the terms of that agreement are. And the two of them have shown zero progress in that department. I expect them to file for relocation just like last year, and then not move, just like last year.

It's hard for me to imagine Spanos making any deal where he's on equal footing (or less in Kroenke's case) with whoever he's dealing with. Everything we know about the man is just so amazingly petty. I mean I'm sure it's happened at some point, I just can't imagine it.

I hope Kroenke offers to rent his arena to Spanos for every game the Chargers play there, even when its SD @ LA, at about 10x the rate Sheldon Adelson was expecting UNLV to pay. Also no parking or concessions revenue, and the Chargers girls have to go.

Expect hot water in the locker room showers to cut out after 30 seconds, playclocks to randomly malfunction, the speakers to cutout during the national anthem and beer drafts to be strangely all foam. vvvvv I should show up in my Chiefs gear. kiimo fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Dec 15, 2016 |

It absolutely will bring the PAC to Las Vegas (as a site to host the championship game when they decide to rotate it through places that are warm in November after the Levi exclusivity ends).

Seems to me the London Chargers is a much better idea than some halfass LA relocation. Who is going to be a fan of the LA BrandNewTeamName when the Rams just came back before them and are renting them their stadium? I mean, maybe if they hadn't fired Fisher. In that case anyone would abandon the Rams. Is this report from before that? FuriousxGeorge fucked around with this message at 01:35 on Dec 19, 2016 |

Since this is being done to make as much money as possible, they should just sell the team name to the highest bidder. I look forward to rooting against the Los Angeles Red Bulls.
