Chargers finally get fans at SoFi, but many cheer for Dallas

LOL, it will be interesting to see how many Charger fans come on Oct 4 when the Raiders come to play there. Might not be a great indicator since some may still root for the Raiders....but the Browns arrive the following week and that will let them know what kind of support they have. We all knew the Cowboys would have great support.

That crowd sounds pretty happy the Cowboys won.
