Sound accurate? I've only bee to SoCal a couple of times and don't know any sports fans from there.

No one in LA gives a poo poo about the Chargers. Everyone loves the Rams.

I'm pretty sure that the Pittsburgh National Corporation Park is going to be in Pittsburgh.

Its nice that Heinz, PNC, and Consol are all Pittsburgh-based companies instead of some vague thing like FedEx Field being in DC.

Why would anyone outside of Pittsburgh know what PNC is?

Would you assume PG&E is Pittsburgh Gas and Electric?

I don't see how the stadium gets approved without way more private money tho

:siren: Creepy goon story :siren:

Years ago I used to take pictures of out-of-state license plates as a kind of scavenger hunt game, since there are so many out-of-state license plates in the Bay Area. I was aware that being seen taking a picture of someone's plates would look suspicious, but I figured I would take the picture before they'd get back to their car so it was no problem.

Needless to say that backfired when a guy with Missouri plates started yelling at me and asked why I was taking a picture of his plates. I tried to explain what I was doing but he didn't believe that someone would be that weird. :v:

i have a vanity plate that people take pictures of almost daily and it gets tiring after a while

Everyone hates LA but it's always one sided and LA is oblivious to any kind of rivalry. Talk to anyone in the bay area and they can tell you about some intense "SF-LA rivalry" but no one in LA will have any clue what you're talking about and don't think about any other cities ever.

It's pretty funny.

The Chargers are so dumb. I can almost guarantee you the logo was worked on for a while (or possibly shat out by a pro who had to do it in a weekend and didn't give a gently caress). I can also almost guarantee you that the similarity to the Dodgers logo was intentional, as "Los Angeles Brand Synergy". I can straight up see a Chargers executive pitching the new logo with that exact phrase.

I'm sure its this. Dodgers hats are the most common piece of clothing in LA, they just wanted a piece of that familiarity.

No poo poo, the Rams "came back" to LA and will earn some cred as being the default "home team".

Everyone in LA can see the me too bullshit with the chargers and knows there's no loyalty to LA, it's purely business.
