bad decision to let him speak

He probably insisted. He knows he's the bad guy: "See the well is so poisoned here we can't stay..."

The Chargers gave up the ticket guarantees for the right to relocate.

@Ripper - what does that mean?

Here we go with the anti-stadium speaker.

That guy was great, probably counter productive but great...

The Chargers in 2003 amended their lease to give up the guaranteed ticket sales and in exchange for that the Chargers got the right to negotiate with any US city and to relocate after the 2008 season. The Chargers gave up millions in guaranteed income.

He was great at the end, that was actually a very good statement re team ownership.

Interesting. Did San Diego get the income then?

Sorry if I"m not understanding completely.

This is a sad showing by San Diego, but also ironic. This event has way worse attendance and way worse passion than St. Louis yet they have 15k more fans per game in SD than they do in St. Louis...

On their main forum, the fans are beyond bitter. One of them hoped that no one showed up at all to make a point. Most of them are just mad, and feel that Spanos wants to move so F him.

I also don't think it's so sad a showing.
