Crowd at Chargers-Cardinals game in LA looks pathetic
Stop me if you’ve heard this before: The crowd at a Los Angeles Chargers home game was pathetic.
The Chargers, who are in their second season playing at the StubHub Center in Carson, Calif., hosted the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. The crowd is typically boosted by fans of the team the Chargers are facing, but the Cardinals do not have a huge nationwide base, so the stands looked pretty empty. Take a look at these images:

And here’s a look at the stands in the opposite direction:

The Chargers’ move to Los Angeles has long been viewed as a mistake. Team owners and executives reportedly were not happy when the Chargers made the move last year. There now are concerns about the team’s long-term viability in the city. All you have to do is look at crowds like this to see why.
