Falcons-Chargers will be blacked out in San Diego

Santa Ana Winds Stoke Wildfires In Southern California

On Sunday, the 2-0 Falcons face the 2-0 Chargers in San Diego. And the game won’t be televised live in Southern California.

Sheesh.

Earlier this week, the Chargers announced that more than 11,000 tickets remained. It’s unknown how close (or not) the Chargers came to selling enough seats to lift the curtain.

The Chargers eschewed (I love that word) the opportunity to reduce the minimum number of tickets from 100 percent to 85 percent. If the final number fell within that 85-to-100 percent window, fans in San Diego have every right to be miffed.

But not nearly as miffed as they’ll be when the Chargers move to another portion of Southern California.
