Chargers, Rams had awful attendance at "Fight For LA" game

If two NFL teams are "fighting for LA" and no one shows up, did it actually happen?

The Los Angeles Rams hosted the San Diego Orange County Carson Los Angeles Chargers in the third week of the preseason Saturday evening and the crowd was brutal.

I mean, look at the background in the middle of the second quarter:

The Rams claim 58,561 tickets were "distributed" for that game, but if so, a solid 10,000 of those people didn't show up.

Yeah, sure, this was a preseason game, but there are 18.1 million people in the Los Angeles area. If these two teams couldn't get 60,000 people to show up to a "crosstown rivalry" game, that's pathetic. ...
