hail2skins Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 With the Chargers plan to relocate to Los Angeles announced today, it means the Skins are slated to play twice in LA next season. One game will be in the 90000 seat LA Coliseum against the Rams, while the other will be in the 30000 seat Stubhub Center against the Chargers. The Stubhub facility is currently occupied by soccer's LA Galaxy. I don't think the Rams have been selling out the Coliseum, but this really seems like two totally different atmospheres to see a game. Is anyone planning to go to LA to see either or both of these games? If you were to go, which do you think would be the coolest to attend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinzplay Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 No desire to see the Chargers play, but McVay and Wade could get me in the seats. Depending on the schedule, I might try to make it out to our game against the Rams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I'm almost willing to bet (especially if wade goes to the Rams), that our game against them will be a MNF game. Head coach going up against ex offensive coordinator? On ESPN where jays brother works? Almost too perfect NOT to be placed on MNF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hail4Life Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 This is good to know. My Dad is a longtime Rams fan, Mom Chargers fan, and me a Redskins fan and we all live in San Diego so whichever parent can convince me to buy them a ticket....I'm there! On second thought...maybe I can see two Skins games this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILikeBilly Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I live in San Diego. Pissed today that I have to travel to LA twice to see the 'Skins. Was hoping for the 1 local game. I will be doubly pissed if one of these 2 games is played internationally (MX City.) If both are in LA, I will certainly go to one. Initial thought is to go to chargers game with my family and rams game with my buddies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sold out their games. The coliseum is a complete dump. Stub hub center is the better atmosphere but with supply and demand at a 27k stadium prices will be pretty high on the secondary market.

The Rams are not going to volunteer give up a home game after they already did in London in 2016. They are making plenty of revenue and would not want to take a home game away in a market they are fighting the Chargers over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good reason not to do it. are the Rams also involved in that deal the jags have, where they will play a home game in London until like 2019 or 2020? Or is that just the jags?

Napredskins1 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I was thinking of going to both games but now I'm reading that one of the games maybe in Mexico. Either way I'm excited to be driving down south to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Oh man, what are the chances that Skins fans make that Chargers game a home game for us? I haven't seen one person that supports the move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purbeast Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I had already planned a trip out to visit my friends in San Diego and go see the game in SD but now I don't think it's happening. The StubHub Center is like 2 hours or so from their house so I don't know. It just won't feel the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCoach22 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 The Coliseum is an absolute dump, it is an awful experience. Seats are uncomfortable and people are biligerent assholes. I luckily have a contact that gets us into the Audi boxes in the end zone, which makes it worth dealing with an otherwise depressing experience from start to finish. It would be strange to see and NFL game in front of only 30k people in sunny weather. I'd go to that game of the two if given a choice. Personally, a flight to Seattle, which I have done twice is a better experience. I say this as someone who was harrassed for four quarters when they knocked us out of the playoffs in 2005, as we were seated just below the damn Hawksnest. Still a fun city and a great stadium experience. 30 minutes ago, Bacon said: Oh man, what are the chances that Skins fans make that Chargers game a home game for us? I haven't seen one person that supports the move. There are a lot of Skins fans the the two times I saw the Skins play in SD ('86 and '00) that could totally happen given the circumstances.

I'm not a Chargers fan but I've lived in SD my entire life and even I am sad to see them go. It just doesn't feel right knowing we won't have a football team here anymore.
