i love how its in LA, its so genius and i love.

GOOOO BOLTZ!!!!

one more thing, that there is a Raider in front of him and its in LA hahahaha love it

of course they didnt show LT runnin over woodson but we all now its gonna happen

Thats my mom mini van half cut off in the picture!!!!

Could this be the beginning of a relocation in the mix???(L.A.)
I really hope not.

GO BOLTS!

Come On, People. This is not a about "relocation" this is a cool promotion from ESPN. ESPN knows the Chargers-Raiders game is a great way to kickoff thier ESPN's MNF, especially in a large TV Market like LA.

This is perfect so all the Faider fans can see what is to come in 2006, their team diving and missing tackles as LT runs for glory.
Just hope it is not a sign of things to come in LA like the Bolts in LA.

NICE TO SEE THE CHARGERS GET SOME RECOGNITION AND LT OWNS THE RAIDERS SO IT IS NICE TO SEE THAT BILLBOARD IN AN AREA WITH A LOT OF RAIDER FANS. LT IS A CLASS GUY SO IT IS ALSO GOOD THAT HE GETS SOME LOVE FROM ESPN.THE RAIDER FANS ARE GOING TO GET A SEVERE WAKE UP CALL ON SEPTEMBER 11TH WHEN THE BOLTS TROUNCE THERE TEAM YET AGAIN.

Its a beautiful site to see the Chargers LaDainian Tomlinson on a building in LA to promote the best running back in the game...... and to promote MNF

Anyone know how long it'll be on display? I'd love to take a shot of it for souveneir. Thanks for posting it.

Go Chargers!

But how the hell did the silver and black score 2 Monday night games and the Chargers only one (well and one Sunday night game)?

nice seeing LT about to run flat out over Woodson.

You can see that building from the Staples Center or the LA Convention Center. And you can see it from the 110, the 10 and basically for miles. The Faiders don't look so bad this year really but I think we'll take 'em. We can't boast too much seeing as how they own three rings.

I want to see a few of those in display in San Diego!!! come on San Diego Wake Up!

It's about time LA show some love for the boys of SDC (the closest we'll get to a home team) but the best, none the less. After working downtown, the drive doesn't seem so bad after all.

Oh So Genius...i bet you the raider fans absolutley love seeing that...considering that thats the only thing they see when we play them the best running back in the NFL running on them, TY SD

Could San Diego be any more represented in an awesome way than this. L.T. gettin ready to run for one of his numerous touchdowns. In L.A. this pic is up. Just got to rub that in. Its in L.A.

So Cal has only one football team, and it ain't the Faiders or the Lambs.
It's about time that So Cal recognize and embrace the only team here.
Yeh Baby! I'm gettin all Charged Up!!!!
Go Boltz! Go Boltz! Go Boltz!!!!

Oh yah, LT is the MAN & now LA knows it too. Maybe we can get some of those Raiders fans to finally come to their senses & root for the obvious West Coast WINNERS!!!!

That picture is bad! What cool way to express our team spirit in LA. Especially with our best player LaDainian.

Go Chargers nosotros en TIJUANA BAJA CALIF MEXICO Somos 100% Chargers-FANS Open tha GATES for LT 21.

This is great but like Jesus said "we need to see Chargers stuff like this in San Diego!!!"

It's awesome to see the Original L.A. Team get some props here in Los Angeles, to all the buster lovers out, this isn't Oakland and never will be so don't hate and it's about sports not attitude Lets go Super San Diego Chargers!!! #1

LT RUMBLES IN LA!!! " BE CAREFUL " HE IS COMING TO STUMP LA AND WATCH OUT BECAUSE YOUR CITY IS NEXT
THE BOLT IS BACK

I moved to Dallas, TX last year and it sucks!!! The only enjoyment I get is when football season comes around and I get to watch the San Diego "Super" Chargers on sundays. I love the fact that they put that picture of LT on a building in LA. I think it is about time we shoved it in LA's face that we have a great football team and they have nothing but old memories when the "Chokeland Faiders" did a breif stint in that town. Los Angeles better not try to take the Chargers from us. All LA is good for is stealing other town's teams (Brooklyn Dodgers, Oakland Raiders, San Diego Clippers, and most recently the Anehiem Angels). I know that the Chargers spent their 1st year of existance in LA, but they were smart enough to leave that POS town, and I hope they are smart enough not to go back. Much love.... Chargers forever!!!

Chargers are going to run the AFC West this year!! I love to see LT BULLDOZE the raiders each and every year from my endzone season tickets!!! Section 15 in the house!

It's about time they recognize the TRUE best running back in the NFL!!!

I've heard of being "posterized"...but, ouch...Woodson's been "BUILDINGIZED!" LT RULES!!!

Damn straight, I will have to get a flight next week over downtown LA and get a personal picture of the justice to mail to all my Raider aquintances!

REPRESENT THE SD LT

Its about time LA recognize the best running back in the game especially running over those faiders GO CHARGERS!

Well, if nothing else its also a great way to see how the Chargers would be received in LA when they decide to leave SD

He's only the greatest running back of all time! He will prove it this year and through the rest of his career. So why not put him on the building? He's deserves it and it's even better that this is in L.A. Chargers forever and LT forever!

I keep hearing the raiduhs are a much improved football team. I just can't see it. Maybe if we turn the ball over 3 times they will have a chance to win, but i seriously doubt it. The Charger building will fall and squash the raiduhs.

Raiders are about to get struck by Lightning. The Chargers are going all the way to the Superbowl. Go Chargers.

Much respect for LT he has been the best for so long and really needs a poster by himself. But guess what Art Shell and the Raiders Rule west this year, see yall Monday.
Silver&BlackAttack

We ought to change LT's nickname to Al Davis....cuz he's the one who really OWNS the Raiders!!!

I just moved to Salem, Oregon from SD.....but the Chargers are number 1...go
Chargers

WOW! I lived just a few blocks away from that car wash for 6 years in the 90's and never dreamed I would see the Super Chargers promoted on the same level as Bo Jackson in L.A.! (Remember the Nike / Bo Ad?) The Bo "Building" is only a couple miles from this picture. Nice to see the NFL's best back in LA (It's good to see Bo too!)

Go Chargers!

Beautiful. There should be one on the Marriot Downtown. Go Chargers!!!

Great picture! So are we promoting the ESPN game or promoting a move to Los Angeles??

This is great! LT running past an Oakland player and in LA,the "hot bed" of Faider fanatics,yet.

woodsons a packer , huff is the new #24 remember that name because l.t. gonna have 24 tattoed to his face

Great. now can we get some of that marketing & promotion Love in SAN DIEGO!???

Being Born and raised in Los Angeles, if you love
Football, life can be pretty boring the last 11 years;Since 1999 when I became a Season ticket holder, I have decided to adopt the San Diego as my home team. In Feb. 2007, we'll see the Chargers in Miami! Go Chargers!

If you want to keep the Chargers in San Diego then GO TO THE GAMES!!! Paint L.T. on a building in Downtown and show the same excitement that we're seeing in L.A.!

Finally the bolts get recognition.Go chargers.

I'm a Charger fan all the way from NJ. Thanks for posting this, as I would never get to see it. My brother is a Raider fan so we also have a family rivalry going on. Hey Woodson, watch out, you're about to get bolted over!
