They might be loyal, but there aren’t enough of them to fill the stadium, or more importantly get a new stadium built and fill THAT.
No they don’t. Our production company works with the NFL on viewership numbers ratings and SD has an average TV viewership, not low, not high. It just doesn’t TL into seats. I know, it’s weird. And I wont watch the NFL in L.A live either, it’s like watching Dodgers games. It’s like being in mexico if you catch my drift...
Horace Stoneham, owner of the Giants, the day he moved from New York to San Francisco:
“Horace, aren’t you concerned for the children of New York?”
“Yes, but I haven’t seen too many of their fathers lately.”
(BTW, teh only one of his board members who voted against the move was M. Donald Grant, representing minority owner Joan Whitney Payson. Mrs. Paysonm became the original owenr of the New York Mets, and M. Donald Grant was the club’s first president.)
