Chargers, mayor, U-T collude on con job
Pretty sure it is tickets sold. At one time some years ago they used to announce tickets sold, and also announced no shows, at which time the people that were there would boo loudly. I always wondered why so many didn't show--perhaps ticket brokers back then were snatching up tickets and couldn't unload them at their inflated prices. As they do now.— October 3, 2016 2:26 p.m.
Chargers, mayor, U-T collude on con job
Attendance numbers to chew on--for the 2 regular season home games, attendance has averaged 56,403, or 79.1% of capacity (the 2nd lowest attendance total and the lowest in percentage of seating capacity filled in The League). Last year, after 2 home games, the Chargers were averaging 64,901. They finished last year averaging 66,772 (19th in the NFL), and filling 94.6% of available seats (22nd in the NFL). I don't think they will come close to last year's numbers.— October 3, 2016 12:14 p.m.
Chargers, mayor, U-T collude on con job
At least it's nice to know that the courts will be VERY busy should Measure C actually pass next month.— October 3, 2016 11:48 a.m.
Meet the Filthy Rich Spanos Clan
IIRC, if both were to pass, the one with the greatest margin of victory takes precedence. But I don't think either one gets a majority, let alone the needed 2/3. But rest assured, that if by some chance Measure D gets a majority but not 2/3, Cory Briggs will visit his nearest courthouse and file suit against someone for something.— September 29, 2016 11:11 a.m.
Raiders want eternal flame for Al Davis
Don: There could be, but not if the Chargers had to pay for all of them.— September 22, 2016 2:34 p.m.
Raiders want eternal flame for Al Davis
Don: Why not just for the whole Spanos clan?— September 22, 2016 12:32 p.m.
Raiders want eternal flame for Al Davis
Actually, it's too bad the Chargers/Raiders "plan" didn't come to fruition in Carson, as that eternal flame could have been dedicated to both Davis (when the Raiders were home team) and Spanos (when the Chargers were home team). Two eternal flames in one!!— September 22, 2016 11:32 a.m.
Politicians stand up for deported veterans
Nah--I'd go with lurking.— September 20, 2016 2:49 p.m.
Padres brass tarnished
Don: And somehow, the value of the Raiders increased 47%, to a level just above the Chargers on the Forbes list. Perhaps another Forbes assumption, or yet another tip off regarding a new stadium/location for the Raiders? Would the Raiders value really go up that much with a new stadium in Las Vegas? LV certainly is nowhere near the same size media market as the Bay Area.— September 16, 2016 1:15 p.m.
Padres brass tarnished
To me, the best thing that has happened in this Charger saga was the announcement by Forbes the other day that stated the Chargers franchise value increased 36% to over $2 billion. I'm sure that good ole Deano probably got a little miffed at Forbes--especially the timing of it, less than two months before the vote on Measure C.— September 16, 2016 9:45 a.m.
