Oh well, looks like I won't be going to the Chargers/Rams game after all. The cheapest tickets (in what my friend referred to as "the nosebleed seats") were $74. Getting seats where I'd be able to watch the game without the use of binoculars would cost me $150-$300.
Going to watch the college football (SDSU Aztecs vs Cal Poly Mustangs) on the Saturday instead. The most expensive ticket for that game is a massive $30 (and they're playing at Qualcomm Stadium for that game). Should still be a great atmosphere.
