Chargers and Raiders both face Blackout this week
NFL Blackout Rules Force Chargers And Raiders Off TV

by Chris Thorman on Sep 17, 2010 8:17 AM CDT in 2010 Kansas City Chiefs Season

Talk about contrast in the AFC West. The New Arrowhead Stadium was blowing up both literally and figuratively on Monday Night while San Diego Charger and Oakland Raiders fans in their respective areas won't be able to watch their teams play because of NFL blackout rules. Neither team was able to sell the required number of tickets to allow the game to be shown television.
Last NFL season, 22 games were forced off the air in local markets because of NFL TV blackout rules. That's a five year high.
What makes this NFL Week 2 TV blackout even worse for those teams is that this week is each franchise's 2010 home opener. Can you imagine not selling out your home opener? Even one of those BS sellouts where like half of the fans actually attend. They couldn't even pull that off.
To be fair, the Kansas City Chiefs did have a blackout at the end of last season, their first in nearly nineteen years.
In case you were wondering, here's how the NFL blackout rules work:
  • If a team doesn't sellout their game within 72 hours of kickoff (Generally Thursday for Sunday games), no TV station whose signal broadcasts within 75 miles of the NFL stadium cannot show the game;
  • The NFL's definition of a sellout isn't that every single ticket is sold. A team has to get to around 95% of tickets sold and the league will call it even.
  • If a team is close to selling out, they can request an extension from the NFL front office;
  • Radio broadcasts are still allowed to go on as scheduled;
If you're wondering what games on are in your area this weekend, make sure you check out the NFL TV Maps at the506.com.

The Chargers should just move up to L.A at least fans there would support a team that is winning.

So, there are no blackouts?

This is the reason that if that developer decides to build that new stadium in LA you can bet that the Spanos and Uncle Al will be fighting over who gets to move to LA. It would be less disasterous for the Chargers since they wouldn't have to relocate the franchise too far at all.

If it were 75 degrees and sunny every day, and you had a beach full of nubile 20 year olds wearing nothing but a yard of sheer nylon hopping around batting volleyballs, what would YOU do with your Sunday?

The Chargers started in the AFL as the Los Angeles Chargers.

Sure if the team is losing but that's pretty pathetic if you don't bother to support a contending team for 3 hours on a Sunday. As bandwagon as L.A may be percieved to be that city rallies around the Lakers every year because they have a winning tradition.

We had a blackout last season? I knew we were close a couple times but I don't remember it actually happening at all.

I can understand the Faiders not selling out. Their average fan has already given up on the season and would prefer to stay at home, smoke some crack, blame & beat the 'ol lady because they suck so bad and molest the dog rather than watch the culmination of Al Davis great vision for his faiders.

I don't really get the not selling out. Despite the shameful loss handed to them by our beloved Chiefs on monday, they do still have a very talented team that should still do very well and once again make the playoffs.
