I don’t blame the Chargers for marketing their tickets to fans of other teams. The Chargers have the best sales pitch in the NFL:

“Norv Turner is still our head coach. Come to Qualcomm and watch your team win!”

The people of San Diego don’t even care. They’re all at the beach and gripe if a cloud blocks the sun for for more than 30 seconds. Maybe they can give amnesty to the hoards of illegal Mexicans already there and they will go to Chargers games.

Actually….. scratch that. They won’t go unless our government pays for it.

Nice to see Florio has finally moved on to another team to take “moving to LA” jabs at. Actually, its not. Its still as tired as when he was doing it with the Jags.

This should surprise no one. The team is in it to make money, and when you don’t show up, they’re going to go somewhere else. They’re getting paid either way. Funny thing is, the ones who refused to go to games are going to be the ones who cry the loudest when the team is gone.

No wonder Eli refused to play there…

What right do Chargers fans have to be angry at the team for simply trying to sell the tickets their so called fans aren’t buying?

Moving to LA would be the stupidest move for the franchise, not only would you alienate the fans in SD but you would have a hard time developing any kind of fan base in LA….might as well be Oakland South

Saying they could move “back” to LA is really a stretch. I guess the Saints could move “back” to San Antonio some day as well lol.

If the NFL (Goodell) is actually concerned about poor attendance around the league, it would contract a few teams. Thirty-two teams are about four too many.
Fewer teams would mean fewer players, which would increase the talent pool for the “other” 28 teams.
There are simply too many bad teams in the NFL. The Patroits advanced to the Super Bowl last season without having had to beat a team with a winning record.
The Steelers were another team with a ridiculously easy schedule in ’11. The Bengals (9-7) and the Broncos (8-8) also both qualified for the postseason without having had to beat anyone of any significance.
The NFL (Goodell) is charging too much money for bad football.

The mindset of management is off kilter, you just don’t do something like this in the big leagues.

This is bush league all the way.

Oh man, I can’t remember a time where I “thumbs upped” all the comments before I posted my own. Funny funny stuff here boys.

I have a few diehard Charger fans as friends and I didn’t hate the team before I met my friends… They turned me into a Charger hater so please, please pull the plug on SD, it would make my year and provide me with a decade’s worth of trash talk at the very minimum.

Disclaimer: I live in LA and want a team so badly as long as it’s not the Raiders.

I’m on the team’s side. If you don’t want them marketing to other fans then sell the damn games out. The Chargers are consistently competitive, and crappier teams than yours sell out routinely.

By all means watch the game at home if you can’t or don’t feel like shelling out the bucks. But if you sit at home in front of your HDTV you lose the right to complain about enemy fans in the stands.

Stay classy San Diego… as your team leaves. Should have built a football stadium than an empty Pooper Scooper park. The Bolts are way better than the Padres. The only time either has a full house is when the SF GIANTS and all their fans take over that lame park, or when the Raiders and their convicts and gas station attendants show up.

Any team that has a group sales department sells to visiting teams fans. If the home team fans don’t want to buy you have to find people who will buy tickets.
