The Chargers are not "freaking out over the 21,000 or so fans that showed up in each of their first two preseason games at the 27,000-seat StubHub Center," according to Vincent Bonsignore of the L.A. DAILY NEWS. Chargers Chair Dean Spanos "got a pretty good laugh" when asked if he had any "buyer’s remorse based on the turnout the first two weeks." Spanos "remains ecstatic with the decision to relocate" to L.A. and is "fully engaged in figuring out how the Chargers can create a strong niche for themselves" in the crowded L.A. sports market. Spanos is also "pleased thus far with where the Chargers are, ticket-wise." Percentage-wise, the Chargers' "no-shows the last two weeks and the unused tickets from the 2,000 or so allotment all teams hold for each game are on par with the rest of the league." The team is "much more focused on building the season-ticket base now in place -- and the large waiting list behind it -- than they are the fans who didn’t show up against the Seahawks and Saints" (L.A. DAILY NEWS, 8/24).
