Can someone get the Chargers some fans?
The Chargers move to Los Angeles has not gone according to plan. In their first year back in Los Angeles, the Chargers have started the season a dismal 0-4 and have only managed to make the news with their poor attendance numbers (kinda like this story).
After three home games, the Chargers rank dead last in the league in attendance, as football fans in Los Angeles continue to pass on showing up to the Stub Hub Center, their temporary home until 2020. Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles traveled to California to take on the Chargers for what was supposed to be an away game. However, due to the Eagles traditionally strong away support and the Chargers poor home base, Philly fans took over the Stub Hub Center, effectively giving the Eagles a 9th home game.
The Stub Hub Center -- a soccer specific stadium belonging to the Los Angeles Galaxy -- only holds 27,000 fans, so it's not totally surprising to see a passionate away crowd manage to take over. What is surprising is that parts of the stadium are still being tarped off due to low attendance numbers.
This all likely doesn't sit well with players on the Chargers who may be wondering when they will actually get to play a home game this season.
