The NFL is on a different level than it was when the Rams and Raiders were here before, but USC and UCLA own the town. Even the Raiders are more popular in L.A. than the Rams or Chargers.
But that'll change if they win.
L.A. fans are a bit spoiled, first by the Dodgers' long run of success, then by the Lakers' long run of success. (L.A. has really been a Laker town for a while.) L.A. fans like winners.
Honestly, it's going to take years of success to rebuild the fan base here. If the owners aren't willing to be patient about that, this isn't going to work.
They have moved out of LA about 4 times now because no one goes to the games. Yet now they put two teams. Why do they keep trying?
It's the 2nd largest media market in the country, and the top-ranked ad revenue market; the NFL's broadcast partners have wanted teams in LA for years.
The Coliseum is huge - there's always going to be empty seats there. But when you combine that with the fact that there are probably not many original LA Rams fans left in the LA area - that's pretty much what you're going to get.
I thought I was the only Tolzien super fan.

Once again, Stan bring the LULZ! That crowd wouldn't fill the Chargers band box.
