Los Angelinos never have been great football fans.
LOL!...You know very little of football history in SoCal...at one time from HS to Collage to Pro... SoCal at one time time rival anything you see in Texas...
HS CIF championships games would fill the Coliseum....late 1960’s El Rancho and St Paul...Go Dons!
USC vs UCLA....
the Rose Bowl ..the original and first Bowl game
the Coliseum... fill for the USFL in the middle of summer?
Not to mention the lingerie team...
Well, PRO-football hasn't been the success that college football has been. I guess I should have been CRYSTAL clear or you would ASSUME that I didn't know what I was talking about. All those teams you mentioned were COLLEGE games, not PRO games.

There is NO money suck like a pro-football team. The zillion dollar stadium the city tax payers get to build gets to host all of EIGHT home games, more with pre/post games, if the teams win.
From Wikipedia: The National Football League regular season begins the weekend after Labor Day in early September and ends in December or early January. It consists of 256 games total in the league, where each team plays 16 games during a 17-week period.
That would be eight home games and eight away games.
At least baseball has 180 games, 90 at home. THAT is also a money suck but not such a large one.
And yes, I know, I know. There are always promises of how MANY other entertainments will go on in said stadium, but THEY don't draw like football games. Nothing is sadder than having a "gig" in a half empty stadium.
Lol right back to 2fat.
