obviously you weren’t there (in true charger fan fashion). less than 3000 showed up, which is extremely low for an open practice at the teams stadium (located smack dab in the middle of the city). If you don’t believe me the number attendees can be googled.

P.S. Transplants sell out games so charger “fans” can sit at home and watch it on tv

And in that space we have Los Angeles, Orange County and El Centro…

To think every non-Charger person to show up to a game is from San Diego is dumb.

I’ve lived here all my life, the only time I see other fans is when they go out when their team is here… Besides them the other 95% of jerseys are Charger jerseys

So nice try.

nicksaviking, While technically you are correct, you do realize that several times a season the Vikings sell massive amounts of tickets the week of a game to corporations? This happens every year with non glamorous AFC teams and the Lions, etc. The Viking fan base is a joke.

A sellout is a sellout much like a win is a win.

If you really want a fan base that is a joke look no further than the Packers.

What other fan base gets suckered out of $250 for “stock” so that they can gleefully go around saying, this is cute, “I’m part NfL owner!” LOL. “I get a special tour of Lambeau!”, “I vote for my team!” LoL!!!

hahaha classic charger problems. I live in san diego and I can tell you that by far, they are the worst fan base in all of sports.

I love the comments from bolts fans too, just further proves this fact. yeah, i mean the surf is good that day and they’re offering a discount at seaworld! why would i go to the chargers game??

I went to their free open practice they had at qualcomm last week and no one showed up. oh san diego, you’re always good for a laugh…

Ya no one was there, just 10,000 people. Transplants are the most annoying part of this city.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch. If this sounds stupid to you. study economics for a few weeks.

The common refrain of a lousy fan base. There are 10 billion things to do in NYC and somehow Yankees and Giants tickets still sell.

Soon there will be 999,999 things to do in your little town south of LA.

LOL. Yankees & Jets had trouble selling out their season tickets. Jets had to lower their PSL costs just to do that.

Chargers will ask for an extension & get it. Those will get picked up. Since the local broadcaster gets to show the game too, they’ll make it all back in advertising revenue.

Chargeless the only team in history of sports to forfeit entire season (2002) due to lack of interest. They’re worse off and more pathetic than Jacksonville. San Fee-ache-oh only team in history to be constant never-was. Norv will be turned out after week 9 when Chargers start 0-9, scoring only 3 touchdowns in that span while surrendering a staggering record 535 points in only 8 games. This will finally cement their legecy as the worst franchise in history of professional organized sports.

So really, what you’re really saying here is that there are 1 million better things to do in San Diego than go see the Bolts.

Doesn’t say much for the Bolts!

Yeah, Freeways and being boxed in by several dozen starbucks and KFCs …compared to camping/hunting/snowmobiles/sliding on snowhills/cookouts/fishing/meh.

meh, imo… I’d rather live in the wild west than in the run down overcrowded Blade Runner city…

Last yr during the reg season there were SO many Packer fans u could hear them chant GO PACK GO!!! Packers will never have to worry bout a black out game. If u want season tics there’s about a 20-25 yr waiting list

I’m guessing it had to be close to 50% Vikings fans. It seems like ownership is trying to be the team that moves to LA.
