DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2017 NFL Season Looking Back Los Angeles Chargers 19 Cleveland Browns 10 Who's going to LA?

My son and I will be there. Bought the tickets way back in May when I thought we could win 5 or 6 and maybe have a QB who is "the guy". Mainly wanted to go see them in a small stadium (27,000).

Well, we are 0-11 and Kizer is still a question. But, who knows...we have five more opportunities to win and for Kizer to show improvement and positive progress.

AND, our Browns will be playing in an intimate environment. Not sure if I will ever get that chance again.

PM if anybody is going and wants to meet up. We arrive on Saturday afternoon and fly home late Sunday night. Staying in the Carson/Torrance area.

GO BROWNS!

Nope sitting this one out, I have taken my beating this year.

I wouldn't go even if I got paid to. At least at home I can just turn it off and do something else when the game is blown away at the half.

I will be there. I'll be driving up with a work buddy of mine that's also from Cleveland and his son.

I'm only bummed because I paid for the tix back when they went on sale. I bet you can pick them up for a couple bucks at this point.

I'll be at the game with brother-in-law (who is a Chargers fan).

I bought my tickets two days ago. I got tickets that are $180 (face value) for $117.50.

Really!? That's shocking considering that nobody cares about the Chargers and the Browns. Has attendance gone up on Chargers games since they're doing well?

I wonder if this will be like a "home game" for the Browns?

I'm sure it would be if we weren't 0-11...

I will be there. Haven't bought Tix yet, 3 of us going. Stub hub has $100 for the cheapest ticket.

Anyone have advice for getting tickets the day of the game, or any reputable places to buy before? Weather looks great, 72 and sunny.

Thanks

That's kinda what I was thinking... also, until we lost 11 in a row. But even still, the Chargers were always hurting in terms of attendance... and the early games this year were pretty bad. I went to the Browns-Chargers game the season before the last one in San Diego, and there were tons of Browns fans there... somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 in attendance were wearing Browns gear. They announced that the game was sold out, and my section all screamed, "You're welcome!"


I haven't heard anything regarding their attendance lately, but they've been doing really well.

Sorry, I've never been to the Stubhub stadium before. I'm glad this game is going to be in Carson instead of way up in LA, though.

The Browns will have to be Superbowl bound for me to ever make the trek up to Inglewood.

I bought my tix back in May and paid just under $100. We are in the end zone but, near the Browns sideline.

I think because the Chargers have won a few the LA fans are now jumping on the bandwagon. Either that, or all the Browns fans in LA scooped them up. I know there is a big party on Saturday night in Hollywood w/Metcalf.

Nice, I'll be in Hollywood at the OSU bar Saturday watching the big 10 championship game.

Where is this party with Metcalf?

^^ BuckDawg, that's the party I saw. We may try and get up there. LA, however, is such a difficult city to move around in. I wish they had a proper, extensive subway system like NYC or London. Even Portland has *significantly* better public transport than LA.

Where is everyone sitting? I'll be in section 229. My brother-in-law has been to a Chargers' game at the stadium before and said it's like watching a high school game.

Spent the day in Long Beach. Weather is perfect. Met a couple of hilarious Chargers fans who flew from Anchorage and southern Oregon. Cfrs, we are in section 123.

I have never been to Carson, but this stadium is only about thirty minutes from my house.

Picture from my seat:



This stadium is a huge upgrade from Qualcomm. It's really not even close. Every seat is a good seat.

This temporary home for the Chargers is a great experience for any fan. Super small...in fact there are probably larger high school stadiums in Texas.

It was cool to be down at the front before the game. Shelton came by and signed shirts and posed as did Nassib and Garrett ran by and high fived us. Njoku threw a ball to a couple people near us and Joe Thomas popped over and signed a few things. All in all, a much better acknowledgement of fans by Browns players than any Indians player at all the Cleveland vs Mariners games I have gone to. So, kudos to the Browns for that. It really does make a difference.

Charger fans are fine. SD a couple years ago was super cool and chill. LA Charger fans are just kinda...there. I saw people wearing Packers, Steelers and Seahawks jersies, which seemed odd. And, once again Niners fans proved that they are the worst on the west coast. I have been to SF for a game and they were obnoxious. At today's game a SF fan in front of me was smug and obnoxious as well. Not sure why Raiders fans and Seahawks fans get such a bad rap out here. In terms of poor fan behavior...49ers fans have them both beat.

I just want to emphasize what cfrs said... going to watch the Browns at Stubhub was awesome! I went to the last Browns game at Qualcomm, and the place was a total dump. Good riddance.

Going to Stubhub was really great. It's so small, you get a great view. Weather was really really nice. We were out in the sun most of the game, but it wasn't too bad at all.

I have gone on record with my disdain for the average Southern California football "fan" a couple of times, but I gotta admit, going to games with them as a visitor fan is much appreciated. All of the heckling was in the range of annoying to good-natured. We're an 0'fer football team going against a team playing really well... so I was expecting MUCH worse than I heard. Everyone kept it very very civil, so kudos to them.

I will never understand the folks wearing SF, Philly, Pittsburgh jerseys to a Browns-Chargers game. Makes no sense at all.

Also, I just wanted to point out that the stadium was full. Not a huge bar to clear with how small the place is, but that's the reason you don't see those pictures of a half-empty stadium anymore.
