What are your thoughts on it?

If Charger fans aren't loyal enough to not let their stadium get filled with more visitor fans than home fans, then they don't deserve to see the games on TV.

Well, considering they're going to do well this year, the bandwagon's back on, and I'm guessing we won't have this problem for a couple more years until they become shit again.

The Black Out Rule is a crock of shit. If the NFL lowered the price of tickets the owners of the franchise would not have this problem. Fact is the economy is in a slump right now. Inflation, in my eyes, is on the rise and will get worse in the months/years to come. It is evident in just about every aspect if you look. It starts with gas and the cost of goods and services go up from there. People can't afford to pay these $45,$55,$65,$75-$155,$250 seat prices that the NFL and the Franchise Owners are asking. Yea, some can but not everyone. If they are shy 3,000 tickets a game out of 60,000+, they'll black out the damn game. They think that by doing this they're going to bulldog the people in to buying tickets to sell out the games. Fact is people need to pay bills and survive instead of getting drunk in a stadium watching the team play.

Now if they lowered the ticket prices to $20 a ticket....there wouldn't be this problem and every game would sell out in every stadium.

$$$$$$$$$ Is that a big enough hint?

Teams Pay these Stupid Prices/Wages out to these Primadonas.

Screw them. They cant play, dump thier butts.

Now The Chiefs and Royals are bitching about the Stadiums in K C. Spend Millions or may move.

Hell KC is low on parking, $20.00 per car!

Screw them, I dropped season tickets in 1985.

? Blowing Up ?

Will look for Him in the next game Sat. Nite!

Chefs want to move (?), Like the Cubies, all games are TVed as sold out. They dont like the Stadium as want Milliions in expansion for Concessions and other things.

Yes, there does need to be work done, but The Chefs just want to play there and make $$$ Like any Pro Team. What Do You Mean You want us to put Money back into the Facilitie?
