But I attended a home game circa 1988 against the 9ers in Anaheim and the 9er fans dominated.
Toward the end at least, they were really struggling to sell tickets.
From a local perspective, I don't think winning changes anything because it will just revert when they start losing.
You may pick up fans across the country, but LA will never be a football town.
Cities like Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Kansas City etc, don't need success to sell tickets.
LA is a strange fish because whereas there are a lot of migrants, the percentage is actually lower than New York or even Houston.
And even with a lot of supporters of other teams, you don't need much of a percentage of locals wanting to go to make tickets a scarcity.
LA is ten times the size of Cleveland.
Fans of other teams like the Giants, Jets and even the Skins have the opportunity to sell their tickets to the highest bidder if they wanted to. It just seems less people want to, almost like it's not the done thing.
And that circles back to LA not being a football town. Like almost any ticket in town, if you're prepared to pay for it, you can have it.
There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
