I was in the stands at last year's Ram game at the Coliseum and THAT game felt like there were more Dolphins fans than Ram fans. It was a glorious rainy Sunday in Los Angeles and our beloved Dolphins came from behind to win.

This year, I'll be at the Stub hub center in Carson, CA when My Phins visit the Los Angeles Chargers in week 2. Here's the thing, this is a soccer stadium - holds 27,000 tops. When you combine THAT with the number of Dolphin fans in Los Angeles (all the fans that went to the Ram game) and you can see why I believe this game will effectively be another home game for Miami. Add to that the reported implosion of ticket sales by the Chargers in preseason alone - (they couldn't fill the soccer stadium - something like 20k https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...rgers-preseason-games/?utm_term=.91d3b9618aa2 ), Stubhub should be rockin' with Dolphins fans - I'm going to go out on a limb here and guarantee 23k Dolphin fans show up on the 17th!
 
Doesn't mean a lot, the last time we played Chargers in SD, I was at that game and it was at least 65% dolphin fans and we got shellacked!
 
Sadly I was there too the last time we played in San Diego and got shalacked. Chargers fans all around me crying because they thought it was the last time they'd see them. Including some drunk guy yelling at me to take off my stupid Dolphin beanie and go back to Miami. I'm from Arizona.

Anyways, I may go to this game but tickets are so much more expensive because it's a small stadium. After fees the cheapest tickets right now are $200 each. It's no wonder they can't fill the stadium. And I don't know how much I care to see the Cutler experiment in person.

Last time we played the Bolts in SD was last year and it was amazing and WE WON! I was there and I was in LA the next week when we pulled that out. We were LOUD in the Coliseum it actually effected the end of the game. Hope stub hub is be same

Ah no. We played in SD last year, Tannehill had a PHENOMENAL TD to Stills, we picked off Rivers 4 times in the 4th Q including Alonso's game winning pick 6. The time before that we got beaten up but also a few years ago we shut them out 37-0 in SD. I'll take our chances.

As a former life long San Diego Charger Fan, this will be my superbowl for the season. I hope the Dolphins go in and embarrass the team and that worthless POS owner Dean Spanos. Screw LA and Screw the whole Spanos family. :devilish

Just curious, what made you switch from the Chargers to the Dolphins? And when did this occur?

It occurred after the Chargers relocated to LA. I have always liked the Dolphins and recently impressed by a quote from Stephen Ross about relocation in the NFL.. “My position today was that we as owners and as a League owe it to fans to do everything we can to stay in the communities that have supported us until all options have been exhausted".

I have been a Miami Hurricanes fan since I was a kid so it was kind of natural to have my teams in the same city.
