Chargers Fans in L.A. County

[xnet]

Yeah, we're stuck in Faider Country, but we don't have to like it!


Charger Fans of Los Angeles, unite and take over!!!

[Lightning]

I hear ya, I too am from the L.A. area. I have season tix so I make the trip to Diego at least ten times a year. Surprisingly even though I drive a vehicle that is very much a "Chargersmobile" including personalized license plate I haven't had to put up with much of any ribbing....maybe they think if I am that crazy to roll around this town in that, then they'd better not provoke me.

Do you know of any hangouts that are Charger friendly or that at least a few Chargers fans get together at? I have lived here all my life and have yet to find one

I have yet to find a true Chargers bar up here. Though I've found a restuarant/bar that will put the game on where a handful of Charger fans seem to hang out. It's called McCabes and is in Santa Monica. If you want more info, I'll find the address for yah...

[rule12b]

My buddy and I don't miss a game, we're both LA transplants from SD. Last time I had season tickets, we made the drive to SD 8 times for a fun-filled 1-15 season. Now we just keep looking for a bar up here where we aren't surrounded by silver and black clods (anyone ever wonder if "Raider Nation" exists simply because the colors are cool??? I'd like to test it by changing their colors to orange and pink).

Rick's Tavern On Main (Santa Monica/Venice) is good about putting our game on for us, but we seldom see any other SD fans about. The burgers are the best in the city.

I'm always interested to hear of another spot though if anyone knows one. . .

How's the parking down there on a Sunday? What are the cross streets?

[rule12b]

Parking is pretty much a street and public lot affair. Waztch the meters, they do charge on Sundays. Cross streets are Main and Marine. It's next door to the Library Ale House and diagonal from The World Cafe. If the game is televised in LA, we're watching at my place, if not, we'll be there wearing our colors proudly. . .

[phillipb2]

In Studio City about 3miles West of Universal Studios, there is a place Called The Sportsmans Lodge. (at Coldwater & Ventura Blvds.)
It's where I go to see the Charger games, but have to share with all the Raider; Saints; Rams fans, etc. on about 10 reg and 1 big screen TV
Usually don't get to hear Chargers. The game most want to see gets the volume up unless it is an afternoon game when most people who come for the BRUNCH (great) leave after the morning game.

[rule12b]

We try to get to Rick's early so we can claim the TV with sound, but otherwise, yeah we have to share with all the others. On the brighter side, the bar gives no special preference to Raider kooks and they don't turn out in big numbers usually. The bartender knows us though and usually hooks us up nicely. Try to come by sometime.

[xnet]

I'm going to try McCabes because it's right by my house and they play all the games with the volume up, but there are no huge screens (a trade off). Last year I went to three games there and there was about 5-8 Charger fans there each time. If they aren't playing the game, I'll keep Rick's in mind as my back up! Go BOLTS!

[xnet]

If you live in LA, the number to call an complain about the Raiders being shown over the Chargers is (323) 460-3432. Be sure to let them know that the only team in Southern California is the one and only Chargers and that you think they stink for supporting an organization like the Raiders that has shown nothing but contempt and disdain for our beautiful city (okay, so fib a little about liking LA)...

[Lightning]

Have fun in the A.M. guys, I am having a shindig at my pad so I won't be joining you guys in santa monica maybe before the season gets too far along we can arrange a "L.A." area Chargers get together and really take over some place....maybe a more central location for the rest of us. Besides me ( more toward the pasadena/arcadia area ) I know of a few others that are more this way in town.

[xnet]

McCabes turned out to be great. I did a quick head count and think there were about 11 Charger fans there! I won't be able to make it next week (I'm gone on my honeymoon), but I'll definitely be back... Also, nice meeing everyone that was there... There were a few from this board and the UT one as well!

[rule12b]

It was indeed a fine time at McCabes. I thought there were more than 11 but maybe it was just all the noise we made. . .

There could have been... I just did a quick head count when I first got there. A few more probably snuck in... Go i/expressions/SDG_Bolt.gif!

I will miss the Jets game because I'll be on a flight to Hawaii for my honeymoon, but I will be there the following week...

[sdlcruuz]

L.A. Charger Fans: There is a place to catch the game on Sundays. It's in Santa Monica and about 1 block West of 26th street on the North side of Santa Monica Blvd. The place is called McCabes, and last week there was about 15 of us there to watch the game vs. Houston (all Bolt fans). There were a few other fans there for other teams, but we were by far the largest group of fans for one team.

One thing that you might need to make sure of is whether or not the "blackout" reaches up to L.A., because even Direct TV customers (homes and bars) can be blacked out.

Give it a try, we all need a good place in L.A. to catch the Bolts.

[ivancatano]

im seasson ticket holder just wondering if you are goig to any of the following home games... if so lets party like a rock star and F@%^k the raiders!

[PhillyFan]

Hey rule12b,

Did I read that right? You think two shades of black make a cool color combo.

[rule12b]

My theory is simply that many members of the Raider Nation couldn't even name one member of their team, and, if their colors weren't nice and "tough" for pseudo-gang purposes, but were instead, say, purple and white? Radier Nation would cease to exist.

And admittdly, I'd wear two shades of black before I'd wear the orange and blue of the Denver Donkeys. . .But not on a gameday, that is for damn sure. . .

[HellsBells]

If they wore purple and yellow (Viking colors) they wouldn't exist, very true.

I wouldn't wear any colors except for my Charger colors!

[xnet]

Did anybody make McCabes for the Jets game? Was it blacked out?

[xnet]

BUMP

So did anybody in LA watch the game at any local bars? Did the black out rule apply?! Anybody? Anybody?

Blacked out, EVERYWHERE. About ten of us fanned out to find it calling every place we could, and we got bupkus for our trouble. Soooo, we listened to it on the radio. We're taking the train down to this week's game.

I can't get away this weekend. Sounds like I'll have to put with the radio, unless a sell out occurs. Next week I'll definitely be at McCabes for the game.

Hot tip: Make the 45 minute drive to Camarillo, let the little lady shop the outlets, and watch the game somewhere around there. :-)

ok, people lets do this lets see how many of us will show up on sunday. I'm tired og hanging around with all this wanna be Raider fans. I've been a charger fan my whole life and I'm tires of hanging aroud with all this loosers. I'm the only charger fan at work and at the gym where I work out. It should be fun to watch with people that are chargers fans. By the way we are going to beat the S*#@ out of the gayders this year.

[rule12b]

FYI, the blackout extends all the way north until you hit Santa Barbara proper. Camarillo was no joy, so we kept going and watched in SB at Madisons surround by more than a few CHargers jerseys :-)

Are you serious! All the way to SB? Good thing it's an away game this weekend. I'll be going down to McCabes this Sunday! Should be a great game!

[RAYRAY37]

The only positive about the blackout in the Southern Cal. region is that the NFL is trying to make the Chargers a So Cal team.

[xnet]

Anybody going to McCabes for this weekend's game? Chargers vs The Falcons?

good point that us charger fans have to pay for - thru the nose.

some goofy things going on with NFL DTV:

Drove to Simi Valley to watch the Jets game and found a semi cool place - good people, no sound and I had to listen to a Jets fan confirm that he could spell his teams name all game long. J E T S Jets Jets Jets Jets.... (now you have an idea what semi-cool is)

Drove to the SAME PLACE for the Tenessee game and it was blacked out! ***?!?!

Called DTV and they said the Jets game was being shown on CBSE and the zip code for the bar I went to is still in the blackout area. So I played the zip code game with her until I hit the SB zips and thats where the blackout area ends... not camarillo, not thousand oaks, not Simi or Ventura........the santa barbara city line.

So I listened to the Jags game on the radio while watching the Faiders lose on TV. My wife said I brought the bar feeling home and was worried about our daughter getting ADD or some such nonsense.

I was one of the Chargers fans at McCabes for the Texans game (wearing #37) and will be there for every away game they dont show on crappy CBS2.

Its a great place with killer food and great atmosphere - british pubs usually have this. The texans game was an awesome experience and it felt like I still lived in SD. Meet up with us if you can, its worth the drive for being able to HEAR the game and drive safely. These damn freeways will kill you.

thanks for listening

[rule12b]

See you Sunday for the Panther's game CN.

[joeysz06]

yeah LA charger fans I am pumped about this up coming game we can quiet this fader nation crowd !

[joeysz06]

YEAH! whos with us!!!!!!!!!

[ErixChargers]

I'm Holding it down here In Torrance Ca with about 3 other SD fans

Go Chargers = !!!!

[rule12b]

Good time at McCabes. About 7 total Chargers fans, (outnumbering all other fans by far) enjoying an absolutely anemic, lifeless game against the Panthers (but a W nonetheless!). Best part, every TV in the place was on the Chargers game save for 3 out of about 15 or so, with the sound on, you gotta love that for comfort and respect.

Props out to Jesse and his crew for turning up!

[joeysz06]

oh really where at?

[Benaka]

What's up all you charger fans. I am new to this message board but nontheless a hard core charger fan. For a long time I've wanted to have a spot to watch the game with an entourage of roaring charger fans. Finally I think we got one. See you guys at McCabes this sunday to witness the raiders rear end being handed to them. Looking forward to meeting some of you guys on this board as well.
P.S #1 Raider hater

rule12b, did you catch the game there? I was down in San Diego, but will be there for the 'Aints.

[joeysz06]

Man I went to the game too. Last minute, it was so sweet I sat view level but it was worth it.

[rule12b]

Went to the game, 40 yard line, high field level behind the Chargers. Best seats I have had for a game, ever. Got a high five from Foley at the closing gun. Got them again for the Saints, worth every damn penny!

[joeysz06]

I would go to the next game but I cant some lame twit got fired now I have to work sundays.

They only let those under 21 in if they're with an adult. (from what I've heard at least). If you're a youngen, you might want to call ahead and verify that you can get in. I've never actually seen anyone turned away though.

[rule12b]

Guys, I may unilaterally suggest a change. I may grab a good table at the Baja Cantina in Venice. The margaritas are excellent. If anyone is interested in meeting me there, let me know so I get an appropriately sized table. They have a few big booth type set ups with a virtually private tv. Plus, there are cute honeys about and no glare on the tellys. At McCabes, the sunlight poses a major problem.

I'm not sure about this, but its an idea I am toying with. . .

[joeysz06]

I'll roll next week for the K.C game?

[joeysz06]

I don't know where to go I called McCabes and its both bar and rest. So where should we all meet. I'm down to go?

Nope, I'm here. Heading to SD for the Bucs. I was in London for a bit, that's all. . .

[quicknick]

Out in Simi Valley there is the Tree House Sports bar which always has a few loyal Charger Fans every Sunday.
I'm glad to see the Buc / Charger game is a sell out so Direct Tv can lift that stupid blackout!!!!!!
See you on Sunday and Go Crazy F**king Charger Fans!!!

LA Charger fan for life and dam proud of it too. Been since 1997, when I went to my fist charger game, pops and others around me are Rams/Raiders but never got caught up in their hype those teams. I am as real as it gets because came into NFL fan hood being laughed at constantly until the 2005 season. I totally hear you guys on the Raider nation being all about the colors, most of those ********ers don't even know what’s going on with their team or on the field for that matter. I am a true Raider Fan Hater to the bone! Bolt fans charge up this is going to be a good season regardless of a slow start.

[dvelenz_dis]

Have fun in the A.M. guys, I am having a shindig at my pad so I won't be joining you guys in santa monica maybe before the season gets too far along we can arrange a "L.A." area Chargers get together and really take over some place....maybe a more central location for the rest of us. Besides me ( more toward the pasadena/arcadia area ) I know of a few others that are more this way in town.

Whats up bro! Dude I too am Pasadena/Arcadia too. Dude we should find some where around us to start up some Sunday support for our games. Most of my friends are all Rams and Raiders so in dieing need of better people to hang with. Dude hit me up by email dvalenz_dis@hotmail.com also on MSN Msngr. I do live in Arcadia Lower Rancho area. Look for the house with Charger flag hanging every Sunday.

Bottom line is I am looking for a good recomendation of a place to stay In SD Mission Valley so we can take the MTS Green Line. Want to drink like a Raider Fan and avoid the drive back. Stocking up on Budweiser as I type. errr maybe not.

Anyways, last year after the playoff game I drove back with my friend sleeping all the way back. Pretty much sucked after losing the way we did. Really felt like drinking like a Raider Fan after that but didnt. Want to avoid that again.

Thanks!!

[rule12b]

Not sure about MNF, but if you are going to a Sunday game, the Amtrack special can NOT be beat.

Was at McCabes for the Pats game, only three of us there. Thinking of new potential locations as I'm just not crazy about that place.

[DiegoChargers]

:Helmet: Hooters in the city of West Covina Packed with Parolees aka Oakland Raiders of Los Angeles. Great place to watch the Bolts win and Raiders stink up the joint.

[afraire]

hello LA fans. I'm going to be in town and need help finding a place to watch the game. I've only been to Barney's in West Hollywood. anywhere else??
sure gonna miss watching Sunday's game against the Bills with the usual SD crowd.

[Charger Ron]

I guess this is where I post.....I live in simi valley so Im sure a lot of you LA bolt fans know what I go through. Even when the bolts beat the Raitards.....convincingly. Raitard fan is there running his smack llike they just won the super bowl. Whats really funny to me, is how before the season started all you saw were Moss jerseys and brand new Raitard stickers on the back of automobiles flying around. Now you can just hear the crickets.:rolleyes:

Heres to the die-hard bolt fan who lives among the so calis who root for the no calis......maybe one day theyll get it.:Beer:

[CHARGERNATION]

If interested we will be going to FOX Sports Grill at the Irvine Spectrum this Sunday, get there early because the place will be packed. And be sure to wear your throw back gear!!! Check out my thread . . . . . . . . . "Hey Orange County Fans, where will you be . . . . . . . ."

i'm in long beach, usually down at yankee doodles watching the game and pounding two dollar bloody mary's. pm me if you know a better place to drink and watch the game.

[oldschool]

Charger fan in LA here. Just got job in Santa Monica a few months ago but I still own a house in SD. I commute twice a week from SD, crazy but pays the bills. I see lots of Charger fans around the Santa Monica/LA/OC area (lightning bolt stickers on rear windshields). It's a quiet loyalty since the majority of the LA/OC population are Raider fans (especially my co-workers).

They won't stop talking smack until we win the Super Bowl. That should change next season, I hope.

Hey L.A. guys, what's happened to the Lakers since they set Shaq free. Maybe the same will happen to the Chargers when Drew is gone. Hope not!

lol yeah huh.. i was thinkin about that

[BoltFan59]

just create one and ill have your back. i live in inglewood and i make the trek every sunday to diego as well, but off weeks I sit in raider infested pubs taunting the hated ones. even that gets old at times.

[HBBoltGirl]

Hey L.A. guys, what's happened to the Lakers since they set Shaq free. Maybe the same will happen to the Chargers when Drew is gone. Hope not!

drew didn't leave with drama... they just made him an offer he couldn't refuse. he still loves us.. kinda sucks for me because i watched him at purdue and i remember saying damn that guy is good... i'm happy we had drew when we did.. i talk to kobe fans they can't believe shaq worked out when he got to miami.. all in shape.. i say... GO Miami! Shaq kicks ass and the lake show lost one of the greatest players in history. Way to go Miami on winning the playoffs!!

[LA Chargers '07]

Hey guys i just found this thread. Glad to find some Charger fans out here in LA. Is everyone still going to McCabes??? I'm not too far from this place at all. I'd love to come and watch the games with fellow Bolt fans. Here's to a good season and to the Chargers possibly moving up here to LA in the next year or so! :Beer:

(I think we may be the only group of people happy about that if it did happen!)

[ChargerSmokey]

Yea that would suck BIG time if they moved to LA. 1/2 their fanbase would be in shambles....

[LA Chargers '07]

Yeah but for a San Diego born LA transplant like myself, that'd make me just a bigger fan. I couldnt take it if they moved to a place like San Antonio. All in all i'd love for them to stay in SD. One of the things I look forward to is going back home to SD and partying with my fellow San Diegans downtown after the Chargers win it all. If not come to LA. LA people have been longing for a NFL team i would hope SD fans wouldnt stray.

My buddy and I don't miss a game, we're both LA transplants from SD. Last time I had season tickets, we made the drive to SD 8 times for a fun-filled 1-15 season. Now we just keep looking for a bar up here where we aren't surrounded by silver and black clods (anyone ever wonder if "Raider Nation" exists simply because the colors are cool??? I'd like to test it by changing their colors to orange and pink).

Rick's Tavern On Main (Santa Monica/Venice) is good about putting our game on for us, but we seldom see any other SD fans about. The burgers are the best in the city.

I'm always interested to hear of another spot though if anyone knows one. . .


Yeah Rick'a Tavern really does have great burgers, and make a good steak too!

CHARGERPOWER

[Bolaction55]

charger fan in Los Angeles, did my bid in NYC for 4 years too.

I was literally the only charger fan in the city.

[TD_Sandy_Eggo]

I'm looking for a trip down the freeway to the Gaslamp Quarter for the playoff games and the Super Bowl. I don't have a car, so I'll gladly kick in gas and beer (or soda) money if anyone wants to drive!

Do you think we can arrange a car pool for those days?

In fact, if anyone has a car but wants to drink, I can be prepared to drive back to LA as I don't drink.

Go ahead and message me, or if you want start a thread and see what we can come up with.

[SuperBolts07]

I don't have enough posts to start my own thread - does anyone know the best last-minute place to get authentic jerseys in LA? anywhere between pasadena and venice? I'd get it online, but I need to get one in time for the game Sunday! :LightsOut:

[2Big4U]

Did you try the malls

[SJSUPhil]

Living in 29 Palms we are part of the L.A. television market. I'm very glad that CBS 2 in L.A. carries all the Chargers games that they can.

[LAChargerFan]

Yeah, me too. I used to live in AZ and had to take what I could get, listen to it on the radio or have my folks mail me the game tapes (shh don't tell the NFL!)

I wonder how the L.A. Raider fans feel about having to watch all the Chargers games? Doesn't seem like they showed very many Raider games at all this season...haha

[Humphries_12]

Do you guys get the Chargers games on the regular CBS/FOX channels, especially the away games?

I just moved to Sherman Oaks(near Burbank) from San Diego and I am deciding on which tv provider to go with, Time Warner or Direct TV. I was wondering if the Charger games are regularly televised on the local channels, especially the away games since I have season tickets and will be driving down to San Diego for the home games.

Also if any of you are from the North Hollywood, Burbank, Sherman Oaks, Toluca Lake, Studio City areas, do you know of any Charger bars in the area? Unfortunately so far I've only found a Raiders/Dodgers bar which I won't be going to anymore.

[dmercado70]

if the games were blacked out in san diego then it would also be the same in los angeles ( but ) we have been selling out the stadium the entire seasone which made it great for us charger fans cause i believe all the games ( home & away ) were telivised this year !!! as a seasone ticket holder from orange county i was able to be there at the games , for my parents they were able to watch them on tv thru time warner cable !!!

sorry about that pub you walked in with the ( raiturd/dodger ) crowd , not that i condon it but rolling in a few iron pineapples would please me !!!

Do you guys get the Chargers games on the regular CBS/FOX channels, especially the away games?

I live in North SD with Dish Network as my service provider. However, I have a ordinary UHF antenna pointed towards LA that picks up all of the main over-the-air channels. It even shows great HD content when available. I get ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, KTLA, KCOP, PBS (KCET and KOCE), etc.

Whether or not you use cable or satellite, a UHF antenna will allow you to see the Chargers on either Fox or CBS. That way, if one source has a problem, just flip over to the other one. My Dish Network set-top box has the ability to receive two input sources, so besides the Dish reception, my antenna reception is piped directly into the box.

Talk to your provider to see if they have the same capability.

ps: Make sure your provider carries the NFL Network and preferably NFL-HD.

[LA Chargers '07]

Hey whats up my fellow LA transplant! I lived in Valley Village for 3 years right next to N Hollywood where u are at. Yes u get will get ALL Charger games just like it were San Diego. And it looks like thats not gonna change anytime soon., The Chargers are broadcast as the local team here since they are easily the closest team to LA.

[Wolf_Bolts_Fan]

I live up in the high desert and have DirectTv. We were able to see ALL of the games this season.

[Charger4Life61]

I live in the Riverside area and all I have are rabbit ears, no cable or satelite and was pleasantly surprised to get almost all the Charger games on CBS 2. They used to be pro-Raiders, but I imagine for ratings they want the team that's winning and right now that's the Chargers. With Marty gone that may change though.

[FanFromOC]

I live in OC and unfortunately, FOX & CBS don't always choose the Chargers as the game to televise on their regular schedule. I have Time Warner & more often than not, I have to go out to watch the away games. (I have season tickets as well, so I'm covered for home games).
I'm thinking about switching to either DishNetwork or DirectTV.
FYI...as a side note, Time Warner does NOT offer the NFL network & it doesn't look like they will anytime soon since they are fighting like crazy over whether it should be part of a "premium sports package" or included as part of the regular channell lineup. It doesn't look good at this point.
I would go with the dish...just my opinion.

[Shamrock]

Get DirecTV, and Sunday Ticket if you can afford it. It's a football fans DREAM !

Don't sign up for anything that doesn't have the NFL Network. You'll be sorry if you do.

[SJSUPhil]

I live in 29 Palms, but were part of the L.A. TV market. We got nearly all the Chargers games on CBS 2 out of L.A. And the other games that they didn't air were shown on Fox and NBC, as part of their deals with the NFL. CBS 2 has a deal to show as many Chargers games as they can. *They finally gave up trying to be the Raiders station three years ago...thank goodness. :Bolt:

Nope nope nope, not so. I live in Signal Hill (Long Beach) and I go to every game but my fellow local Chargers fans who don't have season tickets have been able to see every game I've paid to see even the ones that were blacked out in San Diego the season before last. Makes me wonder why I buy season tickets :)

[LB2SD]

The guy who sits in the seats next to me lives in Chino and DVR's every game to catch what he misses live.

[shadow1690]

just over the LA county line in Ventura Co, we got all the Chargers games last season on the terrestrial channels. I have time warner cable now, so hopefully the nfl network isn't planning on taking a bolts game in 07. Shame really, I like the NFL network.

[oldschool]

I work in Santa Monica, where can I go to catch a MNF game? Yankee Doodles in the Promenade?

Oldie Out

[InDaValley]

I live in Northridge off the 118 and I get all the games with Time Warner.

[L.A.chargerfan]

L.A. IS Brainwashed when it comes to the Raiders! When ever I see a Raider sticker when I'm driving, I try and get in front of them to flash my Charger Bolt on the back of my Truck. The Chargers are "True SoCal Professional Football". We need a Charger Bar to hang out at for the games.

[L.A.chargerfan]

As the Season went on, I saw less and less Raider stickers and Jerseys. It shows you how true their Fans are tue their Team. I loved how more Charger games were on TV and near the Staple Center they had a "GIANT" picture of LT on the side of a building. I Love it!

[Y.Nitsuga]

Living in 29 Palms we are part of the L.A. television market. I'm very glad that CBS 2 in L.A. carries all the Chargers games that they can.

Hey SJSUPhil,

I'll be doing some work in Twentynine Palms over the next few weeks. Any hints on what to do on the weekends?

[puertoricanrobb]

Hey SJSUPhil,

I'll be doing some work in Twentynine Palms over the next few weeks. Any hints on what to do on the weekends?

You're SCREWED, the time that I was temporarily stationed in 29 Palms last year was plain HELL (Feb-Sept). I drove back to Oceanside EVERY Friday night and then back to 29 Stumps early every Monday morning.

Hit Palm Springs on the weekends for fun. Otherwise commute back home on the weekends if you can.

Going home for the weekends is out of the question as I am flying in from the midwest.

Oh well, good thing the rental car is unlimited mileage.

LOL - I totally do the same thing :Beer:

[Lightning]

I live in the L.A. area (raidertown) and drive a van with a Chargers license plate ( SDCRGRS ) and stickers....have had the plate for eight years now and nobody has had the nerve to give me a hard time about it. I know for a fact that there are at least three to four other Charger fans within the area of my city...San Gabriel....that I have seen with stickers and personalized plates.

If anyone here is in the area please chime in and let me know. I know for a fact we can get a nice local place to be a "Charger" hangout for away games.

[JR03]

Hey Lightning, I'm around Alhambra 91803, is there a place where all Chargers fans around here gather to watch the games? Especially playoff games, Or should we plan one? Unless u r planning to go to the Q

[wotscrackin]

Where can I go in the West SFV to watch the games, Im tired of sitting in my house in Northridge, getting drunk by myself & high fiving the air!

Help me!

[huskyboy]

Is Jakes billiards still the place to watch the game?

[SupaBolt]

Anyone want to meet up for sundays game?

[huskyboy]

sure what u got in mind?

[rule12b]

I'm interested. A good spot on the West Side would be good.

[SupaBolt]

Not sure... meet up at a bar locally would be great. One with decent food, prices and atmosphere. The only sports bar I usually go to is called Big Wangs in Hollywood. Granted it's a patriots bar, there shouldn't be too many pats fans there on sunday morning, especially after they lose! Not to mention there are plenty of other fans who go there and it seems to be getting more anti-pat. Also it's a pretty diverse crowd. Great food!, good drink specials, about 16 plasma screens and two 5ft projecetors. It's a small place. Cute waitresses.

Let me know if you guys have any other places that would be better....

Gotta love the name. . .

[SupaBolt]

[hostile17]

:helmet New season, :helmet
where are the Charger fans at??

Every sports magazine I read today picked the Chargers to win the AFC West again. We've won it 3 out of the last 4 years and there's no reason to think we're slowing down. In fact, we are making a run to the Super Bowl!!
Any fans in the SGV know of a good sports bar to catch the games???

I'm a new poster here(long-time reader) I come from a long line of charger fans, out in the Santa Clarita Valley.

[onetriphudson]

Im in Redondo Beach and glad to say that after 10 years in LA I'm moving back home soon. Also to reward myself I bought season tickets! Most bars in Hermosa are friendly to all jersey designs, but in particular there are lots of transplants from Pitts, NE, and Ohio. SD fans are just as common though.

[EcamixLynk]

I'm also in LA county. I'm in Agoura Hills just on the border of Ventura County. I currently go to Penn State so I haven't been in So Cal that much any more, but I do spend a lot of time there in the summer.

[sdjeff22]
