All in all, this seems like a MUCH better situation than the Yorks' boondoggle in Santa Clara. Better financials, better stadium, better location, bigger fanbase. I know that I piss a lot of people off here, but I just wish 49er fans would look at this in a less parochial way.
*flame suit on*
It is not a better situation, and have you seen the crowds at Dodger stadium lately.
It will be the Chargers man. You can switch to the team, cause the LA 49ers doesn't even make sense.
Apples to oranges. The Dodgers had great attendance for a long time, despite not making the playoffs for about 20 years and it being an ancient stadium in a somewhat inconvenient location. They only stopped drawing fans once it turned into Cholo Central. All the gangbangers that used to go to the Raider games now go to the Dodger games.
Farmer's Field is gonna be a state of the art facility in the middle of Downtown LA. Can't compare that to Dodger Stadium, which still drew a ton of fans for YEARS, even with moderate on field success.
Yep that's why LA will only look at the Raiders as a last resort. They don't want that bad vibe returning to thier city. When they are trying to make it presentable to out of towners.
