Then the Chargers bolted from San Diego this year.
The Los Angeles Chargers came up short in the fourth quarter in a 19-17 loss to the Miami Dolphins in their regular season debut at StubHub Center.
To be clear, that is not an entirely fair comparison, given USC’s rich local history and support and how new (and bad) the Rams and Chargers are at the moment. Enter Younghoe Koo, the rookie kicker who went viral not too long ago because of this awesome trick-kick.

Gase took over the Fins last season, and the team made a surprising run to earn one of the Wildcard spots in the AFC. I think we’re fairly used to that. According to Hal Habib of the Palm Beach Post, attendance at Sunday’s game was 25,381. “We’ve got to be ready to go”.
“I will never convert”. And speaking of things no one knows about, how will both teams handle playing in front of fewer than 30,000 fans?

This Dolphins team is bolstering one of the best rosters they have had in years and many analyst are projecting them to be a playoff team once again this year.
“I thought there was great energy in the stadium”, Rivers said, per ESPN.
What they can do is exactly what they’ve been doing since the end of last season: Purge themselves of the St. Louis baggage and rebuild and craft their brand and identity in a way that reflects the glamorous city they call home. Which isn’t really a “new” home for them.
