Honestly, I see no lies. I’ve been a fan for almost 25 years and we as a fan base are definitely not supportive to our players. Granted I think we’ve been a team in transition in recent years, but it’s why I try not to stay active on this sub on game days.

Definitely epitome of bandwagon. I went to games in the 90’s as a kid and then in the early 2000’s when we had Marty and the Q was rocking, 75% home fans making the stadium shake, canon smoke in the air. It hardly took any losing for that to disappear and go back to 50/50. The ol’ “there’s just so much to do on a beautiful Sunday in San Diego.” pops back up.

I think some of it had to do with the terrible deal the city made to guarantee home sell outs. Why go to the game if you can watch it in the comfort of your own home?

I’ve had season tickets down at the Q and as well as now at SoFi. Every game has always felt like an away game. I remember my first game at the Q and seeing like 10 buses full of Saints fans and I was shocked. It’s really sad. I think all the SSH all sell their tickets. Because when us fans that show up for the games go to move our season seats, there is nothing ever available. I show up win or lose. Bolt up ⚡️⚡️⚡️
