I know, man.... it's taking forever for GRRM to finish the damn series!That would be something; that was the *1960* LA Chargers' logo.

I bet they put some temporary bleachers on the grass above the endzone to increase capacity.StubHub as a football stadium
The other thing that is weird is the space between the sidelines and the stands. Not sure what they can do there, however.I bet they put some temporary bleachers on the grass above the endzone to increase capacity.
General Admission Pit.The other thing that is weird is the space between the sidelines and the stands. Not sure what they can do there, however.
Looks like they chose one side over the other rather than centering the field over the wider soccer footprint.The other thing that is weird is the space between the sidelines and the stands. Not sure what they can do there, however.
Huh? Field is in the center of the pitch unless I'm missing something.Looks like they chose one side over the other rather than centering the field over the wider soccer footprint.
You are correct. My bad. Optical illusion. should have looked at end zone seats.Huh? Field is in the center of the pitch unless I'm missing something.
Uncommon, heavy rainfall in Los Angeles has delayed the highly anticipated, $2.6 billion stadium in Inglewood, California, by a year.
The new facility, to be shared by the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers, will now open in 2020 instead of 2019, both teams announced Thursday. In the meantime, the Rams will play at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for an additional year and the Chargers will have one more season at StubHub Center in Carson, California.
http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/19410632/the-new-stadium-chargers-rams-los-angeles-delayed-1-year-2020Two NFL executives estimated to ESPN that the Rams will lose at least $80 million in future revenue by moving into their new stadium in 2020 instead of 2019, including more than $40 million less in both sponsorship and ticket sales.
They don't have any common off-years where they can fit in a makeup? Too bad.Opening of the Rams/Chargers stadium delayed until 2020 season (had been targeting 2019 previously), due to rain:

Can this planet’s resources accommodate a Rivers that has more time to procreate?Wouldn't be a surprise if Rivers packs it in after this season. He's already said how difficult the commute is, he's clearly frustrated with the team performance, and those kids aren't getting younger
Plus he isn't getting out of the AFC with Brady, Mahomes and Watson ahead of him.Wouldn't be a surprise if Rivers packs it in after this season. He's already said how difficult the commute is, he's clearly frustrated with the team performance, and those kids aren't getting younger
Is it? It is probably fairly difficult to build a new following in a new market, but the Chargers deal is a different animal. They came in clearly as LA's "B" team and play in a soccer stadium in Carson, and abandoned what had been a successful market to play second fiddle to another team that was moving (back) to the area. I find it hard to believe they would have such a problem selling season tickets to a new market that didn't already have an NFL team (or in San Diego). The Raiders have already sold most of their seat licenses for their first season in Las Vegas: https://www.reviewjournal.com/business/stadium/raiders-seat-licenses-for-allegiant-stadium-nearly-sold-out-1863726/they can get out of it by having Spanos sell to a local San Diego owner who brings them back to SD. Instant solution.
That said, moving a team is a 5-10 year play. You expect it to be showing bad results in year 2.
Eh, he and the wife can always pop out a few more kids.Wouldn't be a surprise if Rivers packs it in after this season. He's already said how difficult the commute is, he's clearly frustrated with the team performance, and those kids aren't getting younger
That would be amazing. I can't believe the NFL would actually do that...would they?Chargers/Rams need to hope the Pats visit in consecutive weeks.
It's possible. They are due to play the Rams and Chargers on the road next year due to due the normal schedule rotation.That would be amazing. I can't believe the NFL would actually do that...would they?

Another long ESPN deep dive about the Chargers struggles after moving to LA. The most interesting bits:
-Jerry Jones’ company is building SoFi Stadium and costs may reach 6 billion versus the initial projection of 2.4 billion
-The league is very worried about the ongoing lawsuit by St. Louis against the Rams and the NFL, as they’ve lost on almost every level and the city is seeking billions in damages. The legal costs alone are in the tens of millions.
-A league commissioned study showed that there is almost no market for Chargers season tickets in LA, which prompted the team to cut ticket prices. In turn, this pissed off the Rams leadership because they feel it hurt their already struggling PSL sales.
-The Raiders have already sold double their projected PSLs in Las Vegas and a significant portion have come from LA residents.
I suppose it's possible (although the Spanos family doesn't want to sell), but they are building that stadium with the intention of it being a two-team facility.Is moving them back to SD and selling them to someone who the San Diegoans do not despise, unlike the Spanosi, an option?
It should be. Never should have moved them.Is moving them back to SD and selling them to someone who the San Diegoans do not despise, unlike the Spanosi, an option?
Maybe replace the tenancy with UCLA? (Stadium would be closer to campus than Pasadena).
I enjoy this way more than I should as a Patriots fan.-The Raiders have already sold double their projected PSLs in Las Vegas and a significant portion have come from LA residents.
Could say the same about the SuperSonics, but at least OKC embraced them. Usually hard to predict these things ex-ante.It should be. Never should have moved them.
OKC also had the advantage of a multi-year dry run with the Hornets playing there while displaced from New Orleans by Katrina.Could say the same about the SuperSonics, but at least OKC embraced them. Usually hard to predict these things ex-ante.
Jerry told Rog about the golden goose.Anyways, I wonder if we’ll get an estimate of the final dollar amount Jerry Jones is profiting from those cost overruns when it’s his building company handling the stadium. I get a very Clay Davis/Andy Krawczyk running a scam on Stringer Bell vibe from this.
Don’t forget about the faucet.Jerry told Rog about the golden goose.
