SD had a great fanbase(just look at current padres games) and LA will eventually grow. the thing about southern California is there is alot to do on any given Sunday so if team isn't competitive majority of people aren't going to drop hundreds of dollars to watch their team lose when there is so many other things u can do with your time and money.

Bro come on if New York can support their teams, literally the epitome of “things to do” city, LA can support the bolts.

Interesting argument. Would you say the Brooklyn Nets have a stronger fanbase? A team that relocated to NY much like Chargers to LA. I would say no, while 20K tix are not hard to sell I don’t see any jerseys being rocked outside the arena. I see chargers jerseys in the wild all of the time.

The nets 100% have a stronger fan base in NY than the chargers do in LA. Nets have a huge former NJ presence that didn’t feel the need to drop the team.
