Just three home games into their Los Angeles foray, the Chargers are already resorting to placing tarps on unsold sections of their stadium.
The Chargers play at StubHub Center in Carson, Calif., a soccer-specific stadium with a 27,000-person capacity. It's easily the NFL's smallest stadium, and four weeks into the season, the Chargers are having trouble selling it out.

The Chargers host the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, the third game of a three-week homestand.
As the second team to move to Los Angeles in two years, the Chargers have been marketing their state battle with the Rams as a "Fight For L.A." They appear to be losing that bout.
