Enough tickets have been sold to lift the local television blackout for NBC’s Sunday Night Football telecast of the Chargers-Seahawks game at Qualcomm Stadium. Kickoff is at 5:07 p.m. PST and the game will be televised in San Diego on KNSD-TV (Channel 7/39) and in Los Angeles and Orange County on KNBC-TV (Channel 4). Al Michaels (play-by-play) and John Madden (analyst) will call the game while Andrea Kremer reports from the sidelines.
A limited number of tickets are available online at www.chargers.com or at the Chargers Ticket Office at Qualcomm Stadium (Gate C).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Fans attending all Chargers home games need to be aware that the City of San Diego plans to aggressively enforce two city ordinances. Smoking is prohibited inside the stadium and glass bottles are banned from the parking lot. The San Diego Police Department and Elite Security will be strictly enforcing these ordinances and violators will be prosecuted.
The parking lot at Qualcomm Stadium will open Sunday at 12 noon. With a capacity crowd expected, the parking lot is expected to fill up quickly and could close as early as 3 p.m. Stadium gates will open at 3 p.m. for General Ticket Holders and at 2 p.m. for Club Seat and Suite Ticket Holders. A limited amount of paid overflow parking is available in the parking lot of the Pacific Bell building, which is located off Northside Drive, west of the stadium. Additional overflow parking is also available at the Town and Country Hotel (I-8 and Hotel Circle), the Marriott Mission Valley (Qualcomm Way and Rio San Diego Dr.) and San Diego State University (I-8 and College Ave. Rates and parking lots vary). Fans can ride the San Diego Trolley to the stadium from each of these parking locations. A paid Trolley ticket is required before boarding the Trolley to the stadium.
Fans are encouraged to ride the San Diego Trolley to the stadium. Round-trip Trolley tickets range from $3.00-$6.00. Trolley stops with ample parking from the west are located at the Old Town Trolley Station (Pacific Highway and Taylor Street), Hazard Center (Friars Road and Frazee, east of Hwy 163), or the Grantville Trolley Station (I-8 and Mission Gorge Road). From the east, fans can park and board the Trolley at the El Cajon Transit Center (Main St. at Marshall) and the Grossmont Transit Center (Fletcher Parkway at Grossmont Center Dr.).
Fans traveling to the stadium from the North County also have the option of riding the North County Express Breeze Bus with service along the I-5 and I-15 corridors with departures from the Escondido and Oceanside Transit Centers. Round-trip fare is $12 for adults and $4 for children 12 and under. Additional information, including departure times, is available online at www.gonctd.com.
