I haven't heard that, But unfortunately for me I live 34.7 Miles from the stadium according to Google Maps. I sure am glad I'm not one of the 10 Charger fans.

I understand that but we have a really good history in prime time games and they know arrowhead is electric in the prime time. With Any Reid coming in we should have got at least one SNF or MNF game this year. Thursday night does not count.

it isn't based on your location to the stadium but your location from the broadcast signal.

Yeah I am firmly in the grasp of the Broadcast signal. Maybe if it was the Los Angeles Chargers I would be able to watch it. I think I am 35 miles from an LA signal

The Chargers get a 24 hour extension. They have until 5:40 p.m. Saturday to sell close to 9,000 general tickets. The deadline is kind to stupid because the NFL always gives them a 24 hour extension.

What they still have close to 9000 tickets to go?, that's how many they had this morning. At this rate they could have until kick off and they still would be short.

Blackout lifted for Bolts-Colts
 
Well they did it. Business folks stepped up and prevented an embarassment of this sorry fan base.

The Chargers-Colts telecast will air live in San Diego on Monday night.

The club announced Saturday the blackout was lifted after ESPN and Chargers sponsors guaranteed the purchase of enough tickets to lift the local blackout.

About 8,500 tickets are still available, the club announced, and the guarantee will cover the necessary number of unsold tickets.

On Thursday, the U-T quoted a Chargers source who called a local blackout "very likely."

It would've been the first blackout of a Monday Night Football telecast in 13 years.

Kickoff is at 5:40 p.m.

"ESPN is pleased to have avoided the blackout and we are happy to work with local military and charitable organizations in San Diego to distribute a portion of the tickets to individuals and families who otherwise would not have the opportunity to attend the game,” said Doug White, ESPN’s senior director of programming and acquisitions.

The Chargers listed as contributing sponsors Union Bank, Donovan’s Steak & Chop House and Donovan’s Prime Seafood and Brigantine Family of Restaurants.
