There are a few token NFL markets where home games tend to be packed with away fans.
Dallas, Miami, San Diego – all teams which play in areas of mass amounts of transplanted snow birds as well as other things to do. Those factors combined with others such as the amount season ticket holders can fetch by selling their game tickets usually culminate to seeing lots of opposing teams colors in the seats.
The Chargers Thursday night football game in San Diego is no different. The game looks like a Broncos home game more so than the other way around.

Quite the amount of orange. Not a good look for a team looking to get a new stadium.
