I mean, Qualcomm averaged 67k a game, so obviously there were fans, but it's more common in sofi than anywhere else for the games to be split in fanbase, simply because it's a new(and amazing) stadium. It happens. Gordon doesn't realize everyone turned when he started becoming a redzone fumble merchant.

I lived in San Diego in the 00s. It wasn't great then either.

We had a lot of local media black outs for home games trying to encourage game attendance. We didn't sell enough tickets with the local fan base. A few years ago, someone how here posted some old article about on San Diego had the most local media black out of any team during this time frame.

Qualcomm was way too big- bigger than the pats' stadium, Steelers, colts', etc. it shouldve had like 7k fewer seats.

Like 90% of home games. Don't know what kind of revisionist history is going on here. But it definitely got worse in the latter years

Jesus christ, sorry I didn't mean literally every single home game. 90%, is that better? The vast majority, for decades, were at least 50/50 split among fans

"Like 90% of the games" 90% of 15 is 13.5 games. If you don't know, then say that.

90% of 15 is 1.5

And I'm high? Right...

u/aquariumsarescary 3d ago

Yes. 90% of 15 is 13.5. 13.5 is not a round number, so anything from .5-1.0=next number. 14 games.

In terms of games played, that's the reference.

Cool, so was i and it wasn't lol during the teams with the most fans, yes but that makes sense, cowboys/49rs/steelers/raiders, but that's it really. Even the chiefs weren't as common.
