Cowboys fans were pretty vocal though
Yeah, not everyone in the stands was a Rams fan, but even if it was a 50/50 split, on 63,000 people, that would still be 31,500 Rams fans, which would be more than enough to sell out Stub Hub.
I think the poor turn out for the Chargers tonight has to do with:
1. Rams performing poorly last year and ruining the honeymoon period with L.A. and football
2. Chargers not having a strong and dedicated base in L.A.
3. Dragging their feet in getting to L.A. as most people jumped on the Rams last season. We soaked up all the hype and publicity before they could.
4. Pissing off all their previous fans
5. The venue itself
6. Preseason
7. No one extremely noticeable for casual fans to get hyped over. Rivers, Gates, Gordon, and Bosa are probably the names that have the best chance at reaching them. The first two more than the latter ones. Both of whom don't have a lot of broad appeal outside of the sport and are both on the back end of their careers. Gordon and Bosa are the young and exciting guys here that should get a lot of publicity, but really just recently got on the scene and haven't been put in the public eye much through things like ads or being talked about during that initial moving phase like the Rams players got.
