The visiting fan situation could be bad in SD but it was never as bad as it has been in LA. 9ers fans never had even close to a majority in SD, while in LA it looked like 60 percent of the crowd for that game was in 9er's colors. Raider fans could fill half the seats in SD, but not 75 percent or more like in LA. There was always more noise for opposing offenses than for ours. What is happening in LA week in and week out is ridiculous. If they were still in San Diego, the bandwagon would be rolling and we would have a real home field advantage this year. In LA there will be no bandwagon and the takeovers will continue.

Originally posted by richpjr View PostIt was a problem long before Spanos ever hinted at moving. The reality is, we had a small, loyal following that would support the team no matter. When they were winning, it got trendy to be a fan and we had a real home field advantage. But when the team doesn't win (which has been way too often with this weenie ownership of Team Spanos) we struggled with other teams fans taking over the stadium. Moving back won't fix that. PSLs won't fly here either.
Anyway, many of us San Diego first guys basically predicted what this article is saying. People seemed to think that being in a bigger market would auto-magically double the value of the team. But that doesn't happen without revenue increasing quite a bit as well. The valuation depends on profitability.
Hope you guys are all doing good. I haven't watched football since the team left, and I'm quite content. And I don't want them back if Spanos is still owner.

Hmm Mexico City makes sense in that regard... although.... nah.. too many NFL fans in Mexico, half of the Azteca Stadium would be filled with opposing fans... Raider and Patriot fans would fill the stadium by themselves...
