Wow this is a Raiders take over. Chargers should have stayed in San Diego and had some semblance of a home crowd.

Also how does an inside stadium have a 35 minute weather delay

It's a home game for the Raiders.

Its in So Fi. The Chargers logo is center of the field.

But it basically is a home game because the Chargers rate below a team that hasn't been in that city for a decade

The end zones are open air panels.

Chargers try a fake punt and don't get it. Why they did that makes no sense. The Raiders had -5 yards at that point. Now you give them the momentum

Almost every home game for the Chargers is an away game. Pretty much any team that has a National fan base or one that travels takes over their stadiums since they moved to LA.

Yeah that is why they never should have left San Diego. Terrible choice by the owner.

Now you have it worse than the Clippers.

I thought it was weird too until I read about why the delay happened.

That stadium looks nuts from that aerial view they just showed.

Are we emotionally prepared to be the #1 team in the NFL?
Raiders don’t look like they want to win

Sounds like a bowl game in there with loud cheers on every play for both teams.

One thing that sucked yesterday is that it's essentially still an outdoor stadium. No air conditioning. I was sweating yesterday.

And most of the big concessions on my level were closed. Sucked royally.

I said this yesterday, but if that's what $5 billion gets you, it kind of sucks. It's a nice stadium but I expected more for all the hype it's gotten.

Bro, the Raiders fans sound a lot louder than the Rams fans did yesterday. Rams fans sounded closer to what the Chargers fans sound like. You can tell that LA is not a football city. State Farm is significantly louder (when the Cardinals are good that is) than what I saw at SoFi.

My buddy said it was because the Bucs game was a bigger game to the fans, and I said that PROVED they don't know football. An undefeated divisional game is a huge game.

Oh, I don’t doubt for a second State Farm is louder. When the Cardinals are good, that place practically shakes.

No one really cares about football here. Even when the Rams were in the Super Bowl a couple years ago, you never saw Ram flags or a lot of excitement around town.

It’s Lakers, Dodgers, USC Football... and everything else leap frogging each other depending on which sport/team is good at the time.

It was hot and the roof doesn’t filter the sun that much, until the sun went behind the stadium we were all sweating in my section.

I'll bet by the 4th quarter you weren't sweating the final score though.
