Jimmy Kimmel Makes Light Of Chargers', Rams' Attendance Struggles

Last night’s edition of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” aired a “commercial” promoting StubHub Center for “meditation retreats” on Sundays. Host Jimmy Kimmel said the Rams and Chargers both “are having trouble filling seats” in L.A. Kimmel: “The Rams' attendance dropped 26,000 fans per game this season. And they're in first place, by the way; it's not like they're doing badly. The Chargers only have 27,000 seats at the StubHub Center. It’s a soccer stadium. They can't even seem to fill half, but they claim they do. It doesn't look that way on TV. The Eagles were in town last week, and even Sean Spicer was like, ‘Wow, that is a small crowd you guys got there.’ They're building a new stadium that holds more than 70,000 fans. The future, in other words, does not look bright for the Bolts. But it isn't over yet. In fact, a very smart marketing team for the Chargers has a new spin that I think is going to help them sell more tickets” (“Jimmy Kimmel Live,” ABC, 10/5).
