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

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) Four years and eight months after the Los Angeles Chargers relocated, they finally got what they sought when they moved up from San Diego to the nation's second-largest metropolis.

For the first time Sunday, the Chargers took the field in their spectacular new stadium in front of fans — a roaring, enthusiastic crowd of 70,240.

Tens of thousands of the fans packing SoFi Stadium avidly, vocally supported the Chargers’ opponent, the Dallas Cowboys.

LA is Cowboy country. We might get more fans there than at home.

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.
