Yet here are the Chargers, a legitimate Super Bowl contending team, located in a metro area of over 3,000,000 people, next to Orange County, another 3,000,000, not to mention Los Angeles County (without a team) at just under 10,000,000, and they can't sell out a football game. Granted you have people like me who live in northernmost LA County which is over 3 hours away, but I bet you'll find Chiefs fans who live in Iowa or Nebraska who make that trip every Sunday.

San Diego, and Southern California in general, is a pretty lame sports base if you ask me.

Dodgers have no issues filling up Dodger Stadium. Its true that they come late and leave early, but they sell alot of tickets. Same goes for the Lakers. While, i understand Arena's as smaller, No matter where the Lakers go, they sell out arena and have for a long time.
