The anticipation, of new players, has fans fidgeting with excitement. The 2009 season will not start until September 5, but fans are already making plans for season tickets, and away game parties. Tickets, for the San Diego Chargers, will not last long in the box office this season.
Management, of the San Diego Chargers, has stated that all of their new players will come from the draft this year. However, as many have experienced, this can change at any moment; there are still possibilities of free agents on the team. Fans can hardly wait until the day they find out who, of recent college graduates, will be joining the Chargers. Final decisions should be made any day, and fans are anxiously waiting on the edge of their seats.
In the late 50s a man by the name of Barron Hilton - Conrad Hilton's son - was the owner of the San Diego Chargers. Managing a football team, during this time, while still stressful, was much less complicated than it is today. Events like the draft were not covered with near as much red tape, as they are today, and decisions could be made much more quickly; giving fans the answers they were looking for much faster than today.
Their first year, on the field, actually took place in Los Angeles in 1960. It was not until the following year - 1961 - that the Chargers were in their home of San Diego. Sid Gillman coached players like Lance Alworth, John Hadl, and Paul Lowe to greatness. Alworth, in fact, is part of the Hall of Fame. Even though the fans were not climbing out of the woodworks, the team was beginning to get a solid following.
A few short years later, the San Diego Chargers were sold to another franchise and they began to play against NFL teams like the New York Jets; whom they proudly beat! This was an astonishing feat for the team as the Jets were Super Bowl Champions in '69. The Chargers coach fell ill and had to hand his position over Charlie Waller, the team's offensive backfield coach. The 60s proved to be a time of change for the team, and this is when they began to make their climb to fame.
The San Diego Chargers are currently fighting their way towards their well-deserved Championship title. Near the end of the season in 2008 the team was at a 7-win, 8-loss record. This, right here, made fans begin digging for an available ticket they could find.
Their record, in 2008, gave the Chargers the chance to play the Denver Broncos - this was no easy feat. With a final score of 52-21, in favor of the Chargers, the Chargers now held an AFC Western Division Championship title. This win allowed the team to move forward in the playoffs, giving them one of their best seasons yet.
The excitement from last year has kept the fans anxious for an amazing season in 2009, one that will give them a Super Bowl win! As preparations are made, for the 2009 season, management focuses on strengthening their weaknesses, and making them the team the fans are expecting to see. There is no doubt that season tickets will be in high demand and many fans may be left watching games on the big screen.
