Owners still guaranteed a profit. Until attendance at stadiums affects this formula, the owners will never really care about the fans at the stadiums. It's all about that TV revenue,.

It's amazing just how true this statement really is. Too many teams, and in not the right spots.

shame, the rams appear to be on the upswing and have some reason to be excited about the team

I know this is hard for those of you living in BFE Middle America to understand, but LA is the entertainment capital of the world. Nobody is going to spend a bunch of money to watch a bad team, in a crappy stadium, when there are a million other things to do on any given day. Even Staples Center has been half empty the last couple years, and if any team is Los Angeles, it's the Lakers. If either team starts playing well (in the new stadium), people will start filling it up.

Hollywood Bowl
Disneyland
Universal Studios
Hollywood Walk of Fame
Chinese Theatre
Rodeo Drive
The Getty and 10 other of the nations best museums
Santa Monica Pier
Venice Beach
Griffith park
Hundreds of clubs and restaurants operated by the best chefs and promoters in the world.
Pacific Coast Highway
Sunset Boulevard
Dodgers, Angels, Clipps, Lakers, Kings, Ducks, blah blah
10 different concerts on any given night (missing my Lions on MNF to go to one tonight actually).
Filming of most major sitcoms and a ton of other movie/TV crap
Beautiful women
blah blah blah
Again, I'm not saying LA is better. I actually hate going into the city. It's only 30-40 miles north of me, and takes almost 2 hours to drive there, no matter what time of day. I'm just saying there are things to do on every corner. People won't waste their time on a bad product.

If you order at the start of the movie, you'd be starving before it ended.

When the Cardinals moved to Phoenix in 1988 they never sold out at Sun Devil Stadium. I believe they have sold out every game since the new stadium was built in 2006.

For the second-straight season and the fifth time in the last decade, the Montana Grizzlies football team has packed in more fans than any other program in FCS football, and in 2015 dew more fans than 44 FBS programs as well.

The Grizzlies averaged 24,139 fans per-game over the course of a seven-game home slate last year, for a total of 168,975 according to an annual NCAA report. That's over 16 percent of Montana's population according to the latest US Census Bureau estimates.

Parking for the Chargers' Los Angeles opener costs an obscene $100

 

The Los Angeles Chargers will be playing their home games in the 27,000-seat StubHub Center until the new stadium in Inglewood is completed. The StubHub Center is home to the LA Galaxy of MLS and by far the smallest NFL stadium.

Well, the team is finding ways to make up the difference.

Ahead of Sunday’s Los Angeles opener against the Dolphins, photos emerged of general parking signs around StubHub Center. Let’s just say it wasn’t the most fan friendly pricing.

The Entertainment Capital of the World is an advertising slogan first coined to refer to Los Angeles due to the presence of Hollywood, and the area's radio, television, music, and filmmaking, as well as the abundance of tourist and amusement attractions in the region. This title is also claimed by Las Vegas although sometimes also referring to itself as the Live Entertainment Capital of the World.[1] The slogan was billed on the sign at MGM Grand Las Vegas.[2]

By your reasoning the Las Vegas Raiders will have a problem selling tickets.
