Los Angeles Is An NFL Town! It Just Needs Some Football Fans To Move There
On Sunday, the Los Angeles Chargers had their home opener in a small soccer stadium that holds just 27,000 people. Yet they didn’t sell it out. The stadium was loud, but those cheers were coming from Dolphins fans, which confused everyone, including Phillip Rivers.
Across town, the Los Angeles Rams officially drew just 56,612 fans in their Week 2 game against Washington a week after they crushed the Indianapolis Colts 46-9. That’s the official number - by many accounts and supported by photos of the stadium throughout the game, the stands didn’t even appear 30% full. Keep in mind the team drew over 74,000 fans to a regular season game in London.
Welcome to Los Angeles. We’re two weeks into the NFL season, and the headlines for both the Chargers and the Rams couldn’t be more humiliating.
