    Simply WoW. Thanks Bob. 30k in seats. 8% media credentials? Bosa from "the shoe" attendance will think he landed back in High School (dude!). D-Bone plenty of bicycle rack parking (at a steep price) but you may want to pair up with The Bone Lady to fight for our 12 seats limit 😉 Concession may see record hog dog pricing? Those extra 3ooo seats may add extra aisle portal-potties for paying out the nose customers easy convenience...What a fine mess a few millionaires with some attorney's can make 😕

    Per all accounts of people who live around there, 30K seats is about all that the Chargers would need. I don't think anyone in LA would give a shit about the Chargers. They have the Rams back now, and most of the people in LA are going to be Raider fans now that they are even closer to LA.

    It is a fickle, apathetic town. Having two teams there to me is absurd. It would not surprise me if after a decade in LA that the Chargers may seek a new place to go....perhaps even back to San Diego. In other words, yes, do a Raider type deal, move, then move back. Then move again.

    Though, it is my understanding that there is talk of a Browns Board Tailgate that may occur at that Charger game in LA. If so, I may look to be there.

    Per the above, there could be plenty of seats.

    Post of the decade nomination...please forward to Roger (the Communist) Goodell, Jerry Jones, Stan Kroenke, and Robert Kraft, you nailed it.

    Communist? Hardly. Quite the opposite. He works for the Bourgeois....The cream of the Capitalist Crop!!

    To he and his bosses, we fans are all just Lumpenproletariat:

    The Marxist Internet Archive writes that "[lumpenproletariat] identifies the class of outcast, degenerated and submerged elements that make up a section of the population of industrial centers" which include "beggars, prostitutes, gangsters, racketeers, swindlers, petty criminals, tramps, chronic unemployed or unemployables, persons who have been cast out by industry, and all sorts of declassed, degraded or degenerated elements."[2]

  • Said it before... the NFL is skilled at the Dance of the Seven Veils...

    They're going to be the highest priced tickets in the league (the Chargers that is), no idea what the demand is for them but they are putting in rules for selling them on the secondary market and everything.

    They might be looking to go elsewhere, but it won't be back to San Diego. There will be nowhere for them to play. Qualcomm will be torn down by 2019 at the latest and if all goes well, will be replaced with a 25k to 35k MLS soccer and SDSU football stadium.

    I understand, but, of course, we have been through this before with some towns. They lose a team, say Sayonara, then eventually regret it, then push a pile of money into a stadium project.

    Maybe the Chargers don't go back there, but you can bet that the NFL would love to have towns like San Diego and St. Louis come in with stadium projects so that they could extort current cities with teams to upgrade their facilities...and of course give all the revenue therefrom to the NFL.

    The Jaguars situation comes to mind...as a possible stadium issue.

    It won't happen in San Diego. Only way it happens is if someone is willing to build the stadium completely with their own money. Any public money at all will require it to go to a city vote and it would need 66% to pass and there's no chance in hell of that happening. There are people here opposed to the new soccer/SDSU football stadium project and that is being completely done with private money. San Diego is a strange place. There are just as many people that are happy the Chargers are gone as there are people upset at them for leaving.

    I guess having the most wonderful weather in the nation makes people goofy. Is that what you are saying?

    I mean, after all....there you are! 😉😆

    But that does not discount the fact that the NFL will still want to use cities like San Diego....or others, to play the extortion game.

    It seems now to be inherent in the nature of the league's ownership, especially a piece of shit like Jerry Jones.

  • They're going to be the highest priced tickets in the league (the Chargers that is), no idea what the demand is for them but they are putting in rules for selling them on the secondary market and everything.

    Is there still some notion of doing an LA Chargers game Browns Board away tailgate party? If so, what would be the cost of getting a ticket, if it can be had?

  • Also...is there still an notion of doing a Browns Board London Tailgate? I personally have about a 1% chance of going (chances for me are much much higher for a SoCal trip)

    If so, and a group of you need accommodations, I may be able to help. I have access through my exchange group account to some 2BR condos that may be available on the week of that game. In theory, you could put 6 people in a unit, but 4 is more likely:

    In London proper, there are units for around $1600.00 for a week. This is a full 7 nights stay. If 4 of you went together, that would be about $400.00 a piece for the week for your stay.

    Outside London there is a place in Canterbury....in the English countryside about 55 miles southeast of London. 2BR for about $760.00 or $190.00 apiece split 4 ways.

    London:

    Canterbury:

    https://www.intervalworld.com/web/cs?a=1503&resortCode=RVB&parentResortCode=RVB#.WPexjNQrK9I

    This from Canterbury resort website:

    For owners wishing to venture further afield, London can be reached by train within 1 hour and 40 minutes from Canterbury train station and travelling to Paris or Brussels couldn't be easier, simply take the Eurotunnel train from Ashford International rail terminal.

  • That is incredibly cheap for London !

    Canterbury is very nice

    There were other places in different parts of town that were a lot more. Not sure why this one was a lot more reasonable. I mean, I guess I don't guarantee that is not in the middle of the slums. But, if it is, I guess you just make the most of your Charles Dickens experience.

    It's certainly not that, it is right near Canary Wharf which is the banking district of London with plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from. Only about 15 mins on the tube to the areas most tourists frequent.

    As for Twickenham where the game is being played it's around 45 minutes including changing time from tube to overground train.

    All in all, a very good price for the location.

    Well, some here better grab it while it is hot...and available. If it is such a good price it could get eaten up.

    I know some have mentioned it. I seriously doubt that I would go to the game. I think they're talking about tickets starting in the $150 range and if a season ticket holder sells their tickets on the secondary market, they will have their seats revoked which would make tickets pretty hard to come by.

    Schedule out tonight so we will be making plans for our annual trip to Cleveland. I'm hoping for a September game so I can go to an OSU game as well that weekend.

    Do the LA Chargers have ANY season ticket holders? And why would a team put such an absurd restriction on these tickets?

    I mean, the way you have been talking the Chargers are going to be lucky to fill half of that 30K stadium. Fair to say?

  • It seems, as you have been saying that the Raiders practically own LA, even though they don't play there. There are some remnants of the old LA Ram fanbase still intact, no? And the Chargers, it seems, have no support in LA...and certainly are not going to have San Diego fans coming up to see them.

    Or, am I wrong about all this?

    You're not wrong. The Chargers owners are in denial as to what people are willing to do. There will be some people who follow the team to LA and I guess some LA fans will probably embrace the Chargers, depsite the record last year, they're a better team or closer to being a better team than the Rams are at this point. If the Chargers start winning, LA will be all over them because LA loves a winner.

    Are you planning on a reciprocal London trip?

    Fickle Finger of Fate, sure.

    The SD Chargers were kinda the 2d team I liked most in the NFL...or disliked least however you want to say it. But not the LA Chargers. Fuckem, they can go the route of the Cubs and wait another 54 years to win a title. (they have not won in 54 years....1963). They can match the Cubs 108 year streak.

    I guess I have to choose another team to dislike least. The Packers have always sort of been there, but I am thinking of some teams that are basically innocuous......like the Cardinals, or Eagles, or Jaguars.

    I was gung-ho on the London trip, but looking over the finances from last year, I'm not so sure now. The Browns will be offering "official" London packages to season ticket holders. As soon as I see anything, I'll post it in a thread. From one of my Bengal season ticket holder pals- when they played in London last year the going price was around $4,000.
