This is disappointing for New Orleans Saints fans in California who were hoping to catch sight of their team at this week’s joint practices with the Los Angeles Chargers: the Chargers are only allowing their own season ticket holders to attend practice sessions with the Saints on Thursday and Friday.
Last time the black and gold were in town, Saints fans took over the Chargers’ Hoag Performance Center, and obviously that’s not something the Bolts would like to see repeat. Attendance has been a major problem for the Chargers since team owner Dean Spanos burnt his bridge with San Diego, which had been home to the team since 1961 — fracturing generations of ties to the community and leaving the Chargers with little support in Los Angeles.
