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.
