Going to LA is dumb for the Chargers, they will always be the B team in LA. Hell, probably the C team with all the Raiders fans still there.

Volkerball posted:Pretty sure the last thing Spanos wants to do is go to LA. But it's a brand new world class stadium the chargers will be able to play in for decades on the cheap, as opposed to renting the same shitheap in San Diego year after year and hoping something changes. a neat cape posted:C.R.E.A.M. The Chargers are bad and aren't going to get better any time soon. The Chargers have no significant nostalgia roots in LA like the Rams do to help them when they are lovely. As has been said, Spanos will miss out on a lot of the stadium revenue being a tenant of Kroenke's. He won't get naming rights revenue, and I doubt he gets any Super Bowl revenue. On top of that, LA is almost certainly a worse place for away team fans to come see a game than SD is, and anyone who's watched Charger home games in the last five years knows that away fans have been significant boosters of attendance. And if Spanos is counting on some diehard SD Chargers fans to drive/train up to LA for games, he's in for a rude awakening. If there's one thing San Diego natives hate more than Spanos, it's Los Angeles. bawfuls fucked around with this message at 20:55 on Dec 2, 2016 |

If Chargers go to the new Kroenkedome, they won't get concessions money, parking money, advertising money, etc because Stan would never cede that to Spanos.

I thought that Stan was forced to give some of it to the tenant team as part of the bargain for him to get permission to move to LA

I'm a big NFL fan, but screw paying one taxpayer dollar for a football stadium. Football stadiums are giant wastes of concrete surrounded by even larger acres of parking lot asphalt, and are empty 355 days of the year. A football team within your city limits provides zero additional economic value to your city. Negative, in fact, due to the waste of land. Baseball. A more worthwhile investment. Less parking needed, at least 81 games a year. Basketball/Hockey - an even better investment. Hardly any parking needed if you are near mass transit, games all the time, great for concerts and conventions and circuses. Could be lit up 300 nights a year. Build that sucker ASAP. Any city that gets conned into paying for a football stadium deserves nothing but ridicule.
