The San Diego Chargers are sprinting towards all the best players, the players that will fill any gaps they noticed last year. 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.

With drafting in full swing, the San Diego chargers are focusing their efforts towards new talent only – college graduates. They are steering away from trades as they are positive of their weaknesses and know that only the new players – entering the league – will strengthen them. Management; however, will make a change in their decision if they deem it necessary so surprises are still likely to occur. Regardless, fans are gitty with anticipation.

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.

In 1960, the Chargers became members of the American Football League, and played their first season as such in Los Angeles. Not until 1961 were they truly known as the San Diego Chargers and began to play in – what is now – their hometown. Alworth, now a Hall of Fame member, was one of the Charger’s top players during this time, and none other than Sid Gillman coached him. This is where the Chargers came from, and this is where their foundation was made solid.

It was not long before the franchise was sold, and changes began to be made. At this time, the team had a chance to play NFL teams that were Super Bowl Champions, like the New York Jets. Not only did the Chargers have the chance to play them, but they also won! More changes were in the works as they coach – Gillman – became aware of health problems and had to step down. Luckily, Charlie Waller, offensive backfield coach, was ready and willing to take his place and bring the team to victory.

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.

By the end of the season, the Chargers were in a place to face the Denver Broncos. They were so pumped; there was no stopping them as they trampled the Broncos with an ending score of 52-21. This win carried the Chargers into the playoffs as fourth seed, and as the AFC Western Division champions.

As the 2009 season approaches, fans anxiously await the outcome of the draft. Everyone knows that management is focused – 100% – on strengthening the team’s weaknesses, making them unbreakable. Season tickets will be a sellout this year, as fans anticipate a championship win!
