Blackout lifted for Monday’s Chargers game

The San Diego Chargers sold enough tickets by Saturday's 7:20 p.m. deadline to lift the television blackout for Monday's season opener against the Houston Texans at Qualcomm Stadium.

The Chargers received a 24-hour extension of the usual 72-hour deadline Friday when the team needed to sell approximately 3,500 general tickets to lift the blackout, a Chargers official said.

A limited number of tickets, including some individual Club seats, remain available, the official said.

The game will be shown live on KUSI-TV.
