Despite the fact that it's only preseason, when teams move there's usually a certain buzz around a team's first game in a new stadium. The Los Angeles Chargers' move, however, has been controversial from the jump. For their preseason opener on Sunday night, 21,054 fans went to the StubHub Center (which has a capacity of 27,000) to see the Chargers get routed by the Seahawks. For comparison, the Los Angeles Galaxy of the MLS had 25,667 in attendance the previous night.

They're going to regret that move.

It's one thing for the LA fans to get up for the Rams, but trying to support both teams is going to be tough.

The LA galaxy game was meaningless too because they are dogshit this year.

Still absolutely insane to me that an NFL team will be playing in a stadium that size.

Yea, that move was moronic. LA doesn't need two football teams.

You guys do realize that virtually all seats belong to season ticket holders? It means that about 3/4 of season ticket holders attended. Obviously, some put up their tickets up for sale and it did not sell, but I would safely bet that most of those open seats were owned and unused cause it is the preseason.

LA doesn't care about football. Why do you think there no teams there for years.

LA is a Lakers town. They just don't get it.

I was in LA last week. All I heard on the radio was Lakers, Lakers, Lakers, little bit of Dodgers, some USC &UCLA football, some national NFL and then Lakers again.
