collar here and returning to the show is Daniel Popper he covers the

Los Angeles Chargers for the athletic.

It has been a little while since the Vikings play the Chargers and I got

insanely lost inside of that stadium in Los Angeles. I mean you need a GPS, you need a map, you need some

sort of sniffing animal that can guide you to the press box and out at late at night after the game in 2021 I went down thinking oh all press boxes you have to leave by going down so I was in the basement of the stadium, totally lost, looking for any human life, and then I realize you actually have to go to the top to leave. So there's my LA story. How are you Daniel? I'm doing great. You named a bunch of things. The one thing you didn't name is somebody who'd been to the stadium before. That probably would have been pretty helpful. I could have been there for you. Yeah, so the exit is on floor six, which is because, and Alex, I actually have some insight here. So basically they built the stadium so close to LAX, the airport, that there was a cap on how high they could build the building.

Where's my camera? There you go. And so they had to actually dig into the ground. So the field is below ground level so that the top of the

stadium is not too high for the planes coming in. And so if you see it, if you're driving over there,

if you're on one of the freeways and you can see it, the building is really not very high, but that's because they had to dig down. And so the ground level is actually the sixth floor of the building. So there you go.

Which actually is cool, like when you walk in the entrance and you're looking down at the stadium which there are

certain entrances to like Dodger Stadium is kind of this way too. If you go in a certain way you can go in and

look down in the stadium. It's a really cool

view. It is a really cool stadium. It's just that that was the most

nightmarish experience getting in and out because I had never been there

before. But this time you will get to be terrified on the road when the Los Angeles

chargers come to U.S. Bank Stadium. Actually, way easier to find entrance, walk in the media entrance,

go up the elevator and you're there.

So not too hard, but this game should be very interesting, Daniel.

I am really intrigued by the Los Angeles Chargers this year.
