It's not that big  But I've never seen a highschool playoff game sell out the shoe. That'd be outrageous.

I know you love your city/area, but man, it's not a great NFL city. Never has been. Tell this to the Raider fans who packed the Coliseum. Los Angeles has passionate fans for every sport. If the product is crap, they will not show up (just look at the last of McCourt and the Dodgers, I got a ticket behind home plate in the loge for fifty cents). The new stadium will draw a ton of people. Those people will become fans of the better team (Rams/Chargers). I think you are confusing a "bad NFL city" with "fair-weather fan base". LA is a big city. They can support many different teams with the population of the area. They just don't show up when the teams stink. They're about as fickle as it gets. The Clippers and Dodgers have drawn fans for years when they were bad. Wasn't meaning to respond to you. I was more responding to Vers. They've drawn "fans" in down years, but a lot of it is visiting fans too. I remember going to a Clippers game in 2009 or so. I got a luxury box seat for $50, and it was probably 30/70 Cavs fans to Clips fans.

I would also like to point out that even USC, who was basically a pro team for a while, tarps over seats to limit the capacity.  The Coliseum is giant. Exactly. Front row on the 50 were probably 50 yards off the field. From the seat that pic was taken, you might be near 1/2 mile away.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. GM Strong ![[Linked Image]](http://www.dawgtalkers.net/uploads/small-gator-chomp.gif)

Yeah, you're right. That bottom level looks like it sucks even at the 50 yard-line. Unless, you're in the front row.  The lower seats probably aren't that bad, or seating in general doesn't look that bad.. but that stadium is almost 50 years old.. you can only do so many upgrades, eventually you have to start over...

And I heard lines at the beer counters are 1.8% longer than league averages.
At 7 seconds per beer, that comes out to 4.2 years over the average human lifetime.

I want my 4.2 years back. I'm still young enough to realize my dream of buying a piece of land in the country and raising free range capers.  Maybe even selling them under the Newman's Own label.

Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

The lower seats are pretty bad. The front few rows even have a disclaimer on the ticket "obstructed view", because you can barely see over the guys standing on the sideline. ... and DC, it's Sushi and Zinfandel.

They can't even get that right.. Zinfandel is to wine as Coors Light is to beer.
