Unless things turn around for the franchise and they are playoff contenders not likely well. Nobody in LA cared about the Rams this season and at least there's some history with the Rams in the city (I realize the Chargers spent their first season in LA but that doesn't count because it was 1960). The thing about San Diego is that it's got a lot of transplants and any time the Raiders were in town or some other popular NFL teams that stadium would be full of fans of the opposition. Sure some fans from San Diego may make the drive up north but not many and LA was never asking for the Chargers so the only way they are going to entice fans is to win and unfortunately I don't like the Chargers chances of being a winner any time soon in the AFC West. The only thing going for the Chargers in LA is that they are going to get the Raiders in there once a season which should be one of the games they can count on to be full or close to full (I don't see them selling out any games).
