    The Chargers paid for something? The Chargers are concerned about the fan's experience?
    Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
    Let’s win one for Mack.

        57 year franchise? Carson Chargers are an expansion team that's existed for a mere 5 months. Oh and AG is a complete idiot that has zero business sense.

          No traffic at BT so you need to try and do this here?

          Welcome to the Powder Blues. There is San Diego Chargers Legacy forum here if you wish to blast the ownership about the move. I'm not sure how we will handle the business decisions here for the 'franchise' going forward, anything they do will be subject to second guessing.

          Calling Bullshit on this. They are not an expansion franchise in any way shape or form. The roster was not derived from an expansion draft. They moved locations that is it.

            Hopefully they will have a large majority of their own fans at the SH....unlike their last few seasons. Hard to have a great fan experience playing in a dilapitated shithole of a stadium that was "maintained" by the previous municipality. They also renevated the old shitpile several times. GO BOLTS!!!

              Which is more than one can say about the previous landlords. Deferred maintenace in the high 10s of millions. Pretty much deferred everything since the last remodel, hence why it is a crumbling pile of crap.but blame the tennant.

                Interesting that once the team is in the position to renovate/upgrade facilities, they waste no time/expense.

                  This thread sounds like an ex-girlfriend ... he dated me for 57 months and wouldn't spend a dime or commit and now he is spending lots on money on that new bitch Carson and willing to commit to new lockers and everything with her ...

                    How many times do you want to put lipstick on a pig? Seriously, I don't understand what the fuss is about. They are playing in a frickin' 30k soccer stadium. They of course need a score board, unless u want to use a chalk board. People here are surprised they need to Reno the locker rooms to accommodate a football team IN A SOCCER STADIUM. BUT?..BUT...they are doing this so quickly....ummmmm the season starts in a few months. People are whining like the are renovating SH to play there permanently....they are not. THey DO have to make some adjustments as that will be the temporary digs for the next 3 seasons.
