The Spanos family determined that they would likely be better off playing in a small stadium with higher ticket prices than a larger stadium that would have had a massive number of empty seats for most games if the ticket prices weren't bargain basement prices. Either way, it's going to be a huge task for them to build a fan base in LA. It's a long, long term project. They might be better off rebranding.  

The Chargers coaches and players are in a difficult situation. With the team not having a home field advantage anytime soon, it will be interesting to see how this impacts the Chargers in free agency in the next few seasons.

I know; it makes no sense that the Spanos family expected Chargers fans in San Diego County to drive up I-5 for 2-3 hours up to 10 times a year. That is why Dean Spanos does not deserve to a own a team: he completely betrayed Chargers fans, thinking only about his bank account and having a fancier stadium with all the bells and whistles.

Of course, it also is the NFL's fault. More than 21 team owners knew the Raiders have a huge following in Los Angeles and the Chargers do not. What I don't understand is why didn't they want a Raiders-only stadium or give Mark Davis the first chance to move into Inglewood instead of Spanos?
