Enough to support the team full-time, I doubt it.
Today? No...but the team would obviously gain fans here if it moved here. There's a reason the LA market has two teams in just about every sport.
Either way the Chargers are probably the third or fourth most popular team here today, so it wouldn't be as if they were starting from scratch. It's also a 2 hour drive to San Diego...obviously I don't expect a ton of Chargers fans to make that drive, but considering how few home games a team plays a season it'd be daffy to expect that there wouldn't be a chunk of San Diego-based Chargers fans that wouldn't follow the team to LA at least a couple times a year.
Nah, he'll get an extension. Fisher pulled this sort of stuff in STL for years too. Took down all things GSOT, etc.
Being in LA isn't going to change the way the franchise is run. Pretty hilarious that the Rams draw lower ratings now than they ever did in St Louis though.
Ratings don't mean a ton in this market because of how huge it is and how disparate the demographics are...the raw number of eyes on the team has undoubtedly gone up by a good deal. The Lakers & Clippers didn't even combine to get a 3 here last season (the Lakers averaged a 3.54 in 2010, a year they won their second of back-to-back championships...that looks paltry until you realize that that represented 200,000 households...or ~70,000 more households than any other NBA team).
The team being dreadfully boring to watch and being run by idiots certainly isn't helping draw in new fans, either, but you can't really compare ratings between cities that disparate in size. The Pirates get triple the ratings the Yankees do until you take market size into account...
