The Samoan's and I made the trek down to Carson from the SFV consistently. They still go to every game, sucks for me being in AZ 9 months out of the year.
Obviously we are in the minority, and it shows to friends we try to bring out to games. Our friends who love going to games will usually only want to drive down a handful of times during the season because of how far it is. Honestly though, aside from paying for gas it ain't that bad. An hour and some change usually to get down there if you carpool. DTLA is a more centralized place, it'd be damn great for us SFV denizens. The drive from Long Beach and the like to DTLA can't be that bad, That's almost half the drive from the Valley, time wise. This could be great, because they've already picked up a dedicated demographic in Long Beach and the South Bay. If they can keep that audience and cater more to those living in the Valley and other Northern parts of LA they could have much larger attendance.
I welcome it so long as we're not playing on turf and we get an upgrade Front Office wise.
Im a huge Galaxy fan, but I make it to more Clipper games a season than I do Galaxy games. Its just so much easier to get to the Stapple Center, it takes about an hour (plus tickets are dirt cheap). To get to Carson we either have to take the 405 or the 110 and that can reach close to two hours from the SCV. Also I work in DTLA so it would be 1000% easier to make it to weekday games, just a five minute ride on the Dash and im there. So I am a little biased on this one.
What about the scheduling issue though? Isn't it possible to have the Kings, Lakers, Clippers, Galaxy, and Chargers(?) all playing games there at the same time. Obviously its in two different venues but two games going on at the same time would have to cause instant gridlock.
