The Chargers held two days of training camp in San Diego, aimed at reconnecting with the local fanbase eight years after their departure. Tony Jefferson, a local and player for the team, expressed the emptiness felt by fans following the team's exit but noted a growing support since their return. Coach Jim Harbaugh emphasized the importance of engaging with fans, citing his connection to San Diego. Attendance for practices was limited, with one day open to military personnel and another for season ticket holders, fostering strong interactions between players and fans.
Although the Chargers returned this week, they didn't throw the doors open to all fans. Both of their practices were limited in attendance. Tuesday's practice was open to only active-duty military and veterans.
With any sports team that leaves the city, [fans] feel empty when it comes to that spot. But I think we're gradually filling that void back,
Coach Jim Harbaugh's numerous ties to San Diego and instantaneous winning appeared to smooth out a potential reunion with the city.
It is all about the great fans we have. We want to go to our fans. We want to go to our Chargers supporters and they're everywhere.
