We got some of the main things. “We’ve got a head coach and a football operations staff with the mentality, that, ‘Hey, just tell us where to go play and we’ll go play.’ You’re not going to hear a lot of excuses… We’re happy with the way the schedule worked out, for sure.”" Also this on the Chargers game... "The trip to play the Chargers presents one of the more interesting venues of the season. In their first season back in the Los Angeles area, they’ll play in a 30,000-seat soccer stadium in nearby Carson. The Sept. 17 game against the Dolphins will be their debut. “For the players and for us as a team, a visiting team coming into town, they just want to know that the field conditions are good and they want to go out and win a football game,” Garfinkel said. “For our fans to try to get tickets out there, it might be harder because there’s less seats, but other than that, I think it should be status quo, in terms of the travel party getting out there and getting settled and trying to win a football game.”"
Seeing as we're being deported to London and losing a home game, we hardly got everything that we wanted. Beyond that though, the schedule layout is fair. Hopefully, being good sports about being screwed over yet again will help us down the road in future seasons.
if y'all remember in that charger game and that ram game we had an inordinate amount of fans, in sad Diego it was 60/40 almost, imagine what we can do in a 30,000 seat soccer stadium..we have to be careful there, its not what some folks think, that venue can be very intimate and actually become an advantage..I hope our fans really come in droves so they only have 20 grand there.
I really doubt it, DJ. Tickets are apparently very hard to come by, as its their first game in LA. Multiple people in the media have said that there will likely be a very minimal Dolphin fan group there that day. The next time that we play them in LA, it will be at their future stadium that they're sharing with the Rams, so this is a one off for us, too.
I'm getting ahead of myself, but the layout of our 2018 schedule could be boom or bust. Of our eight away games, five are in cold weather cites (our division, GB, and an AFC North team), and the other three are in domes. It would be great to play at Indy, Houston and Minnesota during the second half of the season, and have the open air trips early.
