    Im willing to wager that LA will get multiple Super Bowls because of the climate.

    One of these times the NFL is going get burned on a northern Super Bowl where it really snows causing a mess and where everyone has a terrible experience. The Jerry Jones Super Bowl was a near disaster and it hardly snowed. 1/2" of snow on the ground and Texans abandon their cars on the side of the road and grocery store shelves for milk and bread are bare.

    This is like no NFL stadium that I have ever seen. https://la.curbed.com/2015/1/12/10003190/the-high-public-cost-of-the-proposed-inglewood-nfl-stadium

    LA already has the super bowl in like 2021 or 2022 and they will probably have one every 4 years or so after that.

    Why on God's Green Earth would anyone ever choose to live anywhere near LA anyway.   Can anyone here explain that?  😛😎

    Nope...I don't have any clue.   Although depends on your definition of "near".   I'm about 50-60 miles from downtown LA.   So I guess that could be considered near.

    Sounds like the "I-10 experience"... Trust me, any of that in Texas is all "the Cajun factor".

    Louisiana was the worst for Left-Lane-Lovers, but for good reason. The right lane on I-10 across Louisiana used to be a fucking washboard. The left lane was much better, so...

    Then after Katrina the LLL's came to Texas... but they get better.

    When I was living there, if you bought a used car the plates were already on the car and stayed with the vehicle for life. I dont recall any sticker to affix proving that they were valid and up to date. The police would have to run the tag number to find out if the vehicle was registered.

    Today you would get busted in a week because they have those licence plate scanners.

    Moved here in the mid-70's and there were stickers for the rear plate until they went to the window decal maybe 20 years ago?

    But plates used to have to stay with the car. Now seller has the option of keeping (retiring) the plates.

    USC outdraws the Chargers and Rams combined this past weekend....

    For their regular-season home opener at the 27,000-seat StubHub Center, the Chargers attracted 25,381 fans. The Rams, in their Week Two game against Washington, had 56,612 present. That’s a total of 81,993 for a pair of Los Angeles home games played on the same day.

    Bryan Fischer@BryanDFischer
    LA attendance:
    Chargers - 25,381
    Rams - 56,612
    NFL combined - 81,993

    USC v. Texas - 84,714
    Sep 17, 2017 10.5K 333View on X

    The previous night at the Coliseum, USC drew 84,714 for a game against Texas. Which, obviously, is more than the combined attendance of the two NFL games.

    Yes, the Chargers were closer to the stadium maximum than the Rams. But the fact that the Chargers can’t sell 27,000 tickets to an NFL game is alarming, especially since San Diego State drew more than 43,000 to the venue the Chargers abandoned a day earlier.

    Bryan Fischer@BryanDFischer
    Chargers on Sunday: 25,381
    Qualcomm on Saturday (SDSU): 43,040

    More than half.   Phillip Rivers said after the game the loudest cheers he heard all game was the one when the FG was missed at the end of the game by the Chargers

    Must be for the unique weather. You know, floods during a drought followed by fire and then earthquake season.

    I don't think charging $100 to park helped anything either

    Seriously?   Who owned the lots that were charging that kind of money?  Community? Private?  The Stadium? The Chargers?

    I don't know but I heard the same thing about $100 to park.    Just crazy....  The organization is a total shit show.

    100 bucks to park??? Yeah...that will really bring'em to the stadium.
