On September 5, 2009, the San Diego Chargers will open the season at Qualcomm Stadium. Although details about the new season are still being worked out there is already a great deal of anticipation electrifying the air. The buzz is highly positive about this team's chance for a championship season. This has created an even more frenzied demand for San Diego Chargers tickets.

It has already been announced that the team is going to use the draft for recruiting most of their needed players. This does not mean that signing free agents is off the table completely, and there are sure to be some surprising announcements before it is all said and done. Nonetheless, Bolthead fans are excited about being the first to hear just which top college prospects are heading their way. Spring 2009 is just around the corner and the draft is only a few weeks away, so fans are keeping their eyes and ears open.

Remembering the Early Franchise Years

The original owner of the Chargers football team was Conrad Hilton's son, Barron. During 1959, when the San Diego Chargers were being established, the organization process only took a few months to iron out most of the wrinkles. Times were different in these earlier years, and putting a professional sports team together was a deal that could be hammered out quickly, without endless legal maneuvers by each side. The high demand for San Diego Chargers tickets had not yet reached the fever pitch of today, but fans were always eager and enthusiastic in their support of their hometown team.

The Chargers were an official member of the American Football League and opened their 1960 season in Los Angeles. The following year the team moved to San Diego where they would continue to play under the guidance of Sid Gillman. Wide receiver, Lance Alworth, John Hadl, and Paul Lowe were some of the standout players during these first years. Today, Alworth is a member of Football's Hall of Fame.

After Hilton sold the franchise in 1966, the Chargers began to match their abilities against players on the NFL teams. One of the favorite wins in the eyes of many fans was when their team posted a win against the New York Jets, who were the reigning Super Bowl champions in 1969. This same year saw another milestone when Gillman removed himself from the position of head coach because of health complications. Charlie Waller, who had been an offensive backfield coach, was tapped to replace Gillman as head coach. With this changing of the guard the team now moved into uncharted territory.

Chargers Almost Claim the Division Title

The 2008 season was a good one for the Chargers even though they did not advance as far as they hoped. In December, the team had a record of 7 wins and 8 losses and anyone who did not already have San Diego Chargers tickets was desperately searching for any that might be available.

The win-loss record for the Chargers now placed them just behind the Denver Broncos. After the Broncos lost to the Buffalo Bills, the stage was set for the AFC Western Division championship title match between San Diego and Denver. The fired up Chargers destroyed the Broncos by a score of 52-21. This win also allowed the San Diego team to move into the AFC Division playoffs as the fourth seed. Continuing to dominate their opposition the Chargers defeated the Indianapolis Colts. It was the strength of the Pittsburgh Steelers team that finally closed the season on an incredible run by the San Diego Chargers.

2009 is Looking Fine for Chargers Fans

The 2009 season is a chance for a great team to move into superstar status. San Diego is planning to find the right players to strengthen the weaknesses that have plagued them, especially on offense. This may be the year that the perfect balance occurs and fans are sensing this already and have started the drive for San Diego Chargers tickets even earlier than they did in 2008.
