San Diego is fired up about the playoffs.
The team just announced that the AFC divisional playoff round game on Jan. 17 is sold out.
“We’ve had a tremendous response from our season ticket holders as well as fans interested in becoming new season ticket holders,” said Jim Steeg, the Chargers’ executive vice president and chief operating officer in a statement released by the team. “Nearly all of our current season ticket holders bought their seats for the game. And we’ve also sold a lot of new season seats for 2010. Finally, we gave our season ticket holders the opportunity to purchase additional playoff tickets and they scooped up the remaining seats in less than 48 hours. This is a great indicator of the excitement surrounding the team and the upcoming playoffs.”
The Chargers sold out every game this season, but they had to go to the NFL deadline (or receive a league extension) to avoid a local television blackout several times. It is not an issue for this game.
San Diego will host either No. 3 seed New England, No. 4 seed Cincinnati or No. 5 seed New York Jets in the game, depending on the results of this weekend’s wild card action.
