Speaking of Vegas, I do see Bolts gear almost every time I am there. I actually see more Bolts gear in Vegas than I do in LA.

What arguement? I've always thought it was obvious about LA and Raiders fans.

There are some on the forum that want to move the Chargers to LA, that argue there are not many Raider fans in LA anymore.

I lived in LA for over 20 years, and there is no desire on the part of LA fans to bring the Chargers there. The Raiders and Rams are at the top of their list.

Then they haven't been to LA County lately. I go up there once a month for work and see Raiders gear all over. Most of them aren't really fans, it's more of a fashion thing. Ask them to name one player and you'll get a blank stare.

When the Chargers play the Raiders at home there are tons of Raider fans that buy up the tickets and show up. I guarantee you not many are from SD or Oakland. So take a guess where they come from.

Of course they're from LA, that's what I said (most doesn't mean all). But the population of LA is huge, so there are also tons of jerseys being worn as fashion statements as well, and they aren't driving to San Diego on gameday. Maybe 20 thousand make that trip out of a hundred thousands wearing that ugly black and silver jersey in LA. All the kids that want to act tough (and we all know it's just an act) has a Raiders jersey. It's a numbers thing and the population of LA County is probably 6 or 7 times more San Diego County.

Some of these people claim to live in LA, but yeah I agree with you.

I take the road that goes by the LA county jail when I'm in LA and I always see people wearing Raiders gear outside of the jail and the nearby bail bonds shops. My friend is a Probation Officer there and she's always telling me similar stories about the people she hauls in for violations.
