Maybe moving two teams to L.A. was a mistake.
The LA Chargers are playing this week’s home opener against the Dolphins at the team’s interim home, the Stubhub Center. Even though the Stubhub Center only fits 27,000 seats which is about half of what most NFL stadiums can hold but it doesn’t matter because Chargers fans didn’t appear to show up on Sunday.
StubHub Midas through first quarter. End zones look full. Most empty seats in most expensive sections. #Chargers pic.twitter.com/koAKOR9EsV

There is a large contingent of Miami Dolphin fans at StubHub Center. The crowd is chanting, "Let's go Dolphins!" pic.twitter.com/QpspaO7hQM

Looks to be a 50/50 fan base from my vantage point. Maybe 55/45 Fins fans. You can decide for yourself. pic.twitter.com/Mu3EhNcPp2

All those empty seats are priceless. For me anyway. #Chargers pic.twitter.com/QADjv0FKeH

The LA Rams didn’t fair much better.
