Why the fuck does L.A. have not one but two NFL teams?

[GRADS]

Watching the games today, the Rams game (in L.A.) looked like a home game for the Niners and the Chargers game (in L.A.) looks like a Pittsburgh game. There has never been a fan base for the NFL in LA. What did they think changed?

I don't know but the Niners look good. Not Super Bowl good but a playoff win maybe good.

Heinz field west.

You ever been to a Yankee, Red Sox, Cowboy game on the road. Same thing happens.

I'm hoping the Niners go all the way because I get paid! Made this bet before the season started.

I saw that...do it every year right?

Yep, every year for the last 20 or so. Usually put $20 thinking it's a long shot but this year I put $40...wish I would have done a hundy.

They look good. I think they are lacking a offensive weapon mainly a WR and experience. But you never know.

I’ve been to two Chargers game at the field they play at. Both times 50% or more were visiting team fans. Tonight with Pittsburgh in town it looks like more. It only seats 27,000.

I really wonder how Charger fan attendance will be when they move into the new full sized arena. Seems the loyal base from San Diego are not coming north to the games yet.
My bet it will be ugly to own Chargers stock.

Went 2 years ago to see the chief's play yep the stadium had a lot of red in it probably 60%

Fuck no!

 

[Inland Air Balance]

Currently trying to leave the pit vs la game it was 10 to 1 pitt fans just as it was when the chargers were in SD. Fuck Spanos.

Once spanos sells the team I will buy a ticket not until then.

What do you mean?
I heard it on the radio I don’t know how many times?

The Toyota Rams...


Apparently America doesn’t own them anymore.

 

[J&k beer can]

49ers are looking good...(they are my first team since the rams left LA many years ago.) but they have some hard to beat teams left to play...
but I got my back up team green bay...lmao
f n brady will probably get another ring.. nice job but f that team ..
P.S we only watch if we got nothing else to do.. so boating and desert stuff takes priority

Too bad the NFL can’t fire an owner. 59 years of bad management and they thought moving to LA would solve all their problems.

And I will never root for the Lambs, ever since Georgia moved the team and also ruined Eric Dickerson’s career.

I got the Raiders and Saints, and will pull for any team playing against the Chokers and Lambs.

 

[3queens]

The seats are painted red
Illusion that it's full of --
Any team wearing red
I'll admit it was probably
3-1 9ers to ram fans yesterday
Can't wait till the new House is ready

Aside from the NFL supporting BLM which condones killing Cops, you have 4.3 mil. LA residents, 9 mil. LA County residents, around 3-4 mil. Inland Empire OC residents with plenty of them willing to drive an hour or more to see NFL games.
Remember , a lot of them will come to watch the opposing team play these teams.

Nowhere in the the CONUS do you have this big a population that will buy tickets. It’s a business, the Dodgers are the top grossing revenue team for a reason: population, plain and simple.
The NFL is gambling on the same scenario and from working standby Bomb Team the last 3 seasons for the Rams, I’d say they were right.
You have to go to the coliseum to see how many people show up. I’d wager it’s not a fad.

 

[bobbytheboozer]

Grads, you're mistaken. There is a HUGE market for the NFL in southern California. Now, the teams we have down here suck but a bunch of people don't really care. They are happy football is back in southern California.

 

[rickym20]

I’m not sure the home team owner cares who buys the seats. Money in the bank either way but probably not selling too much team apparel.

I was the biggest Charger fan when they were in San Diego. Now I root against them because they moved. Loved seeing them lose at home to a 3rd string QB. It looked like a Steeler home game!

I tried really hard to pick a new team. Just couldnt do it. Chargers have oline problems again. Rivers has had no time for thr last three weeks.

It was easy for me. Any team the Chargers are playing.

 

[Flying_Lavey]

Pretty hard to have a fan base of any home team in LA when they have moved so many times and have been completely gone for over 20 years. Plenty of fans still have a bad taste in their mouth for the Rams after they left and the way that ding bat Georgia ran the team. It will take TIME for the current ownership to build a strong local fan base.

The chargers...... Well almost nobody remembers when they were originally the LA Chargers so that doesn't help. Along with...... It's the Chargers. Their entire season is almost always like the Dodgers in October. Starts with various levels of promise but ALWAYS ends up deflating....... Like Brady's balls.

You need a deflated ball when you have that many rings on your hand.

 

[HCP3]

The problem with LA is that not many people are native to LA. Lot's of people moved here and brought their favorite team with them.

 

[Ziggy]

Fact of the matter is the wrong team(s) landed in Los Angeles.
I'd venture to guess the Coliseum would be filled if the silver and black had bargained their way in. But alas, big money(rams owner) and a money grab(spanos) are there instead.

Sure is nice watching some young players win a golf tournament for their first time instead of tormenting myself with the NFL.

 

[PlanB]

Fuck Spanos...

Locals are also cashing in on working in construction of the football stadium and the other new structures around the stadium due to the PLA agreement.

Clippers are looking to build a new arena there also. $$$$

 

[flyingcolors]

same problem with the Dodgers during the postseason the past few years

 

[minijeep]

As a Steelers fan that goes to at least one game a year. I have never seen any away game like it! It was crazy! Even games at hienz field had a better percentage of opposing teams fans. It also
Happened in SD but nothing like last night. even the cooling fans were in black and gold! Lol

It was a home game for both the 9ers and Steelers. Lol

Very cool that you went.

The Chargers players and fans are pissed and calling for someone in the stadium to be fired because they played the song Renegade (Styx) which is a song played at home at Heinz Field to fire up the fans and team.

Very, very strange that it was played at the "Chargers' field"

 

[LowRiver2]

Steelers

I'm no NFL fan but my Captain sure is. She's divorced, no kids, goes to every Steelers game home or away (flight city) She's buying a condo next year in Pittsburgh close to the stadium for the home games. I"ve seen some hard core female Dodger fans but not NFL female fans to that degree, lol.
