San Diego Chargers tailgate parties have personalities of their own. Discover their uniqueness as you tour Qualcomm Stadium's tailgate district section by section.
With the different story lines that will be in play Sunday night in the Superdome, the Chargers will at least go into the contest relatively healthy.
After nearly pulling off an upset win at Green Bay last weekend (Packers won 28-27), the Saints limped home to the bayou as one of only two remaining winless teams (Cleveland) in the NFL. The Browns' status does not come as a big shocker. The Saints', however, is definitely more of a surprise.
In the midst of preparing and packing all the paraphernalia that needs to be transported for a tailgating event, dessert is often left forgotten. For those with a sweet tooth that crave something a little more fancy, nothing tickles the palate as much as dainty, pretty, one-bite cake pops.
Sure, you may look at the records of this Sunday night's contest between the San Diego Chargers (3-1) and the host New Orleans Saints (0-4), thinking this surely can't be a big game. Think again.
For many fans of the Chargers, the end of last season seemed like the perfect time to send head coach Norv Turner and/or general manager AJ Smith packing. Instead, they came back for one more season, but they may not get another chance under the team lives up to expectations.
For the San Diego Chargers going into the 2012 camp, there certainly appeared to be legitimate questions as to whether or not longtime San Diego kicker Nate Kaeding would keep his job with the Bolts. Nick Novak kicked very well in 2011 after Kaeding suffered a season-ending injury, and Novak is now back with the Chargers after Kaeding suffered another injury.
Forcing the Chiefs into six turnovers (scored 24 points off them), the Bolts got out to an early lead and were never seriously threatened, as San Diego maintained a one-game lead over Denver in the AFC West race.
This weekend, get the whole family involved in football fever and stock your party with Chargers-themed paraphernalia.
The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously Friday to approve a plan build a new NFL stadium and convention hall downtown.
For San Diego (2-1), Sunday's visit to Arrowhead Stadium will say much about where the Chargers are headed after a debilitating loss to the Atlanta Falcons last Sunday. In spite of the loss, the Chargers still lead the AFC West.
Regardless of what football team you root for, you are sure to be a fan of this amazing recipe. Easy and fun to make, these are a true treat for the mouth and will have all your football buddies saying, "please pass the peppers!"
Given last year's road debacle at Arrowhead Stadium (23-20 OT loss), a game the Chargers seemingly were about to win on a late field goal before they turned the ball over, San Diego knows that winning games within its division will be crucial this year.
The NFL and the referees' union have reached a tentative contract agreement, ending an impasse that began in June when the league locked out the officials and used replacements instead.
Two days after a controversial call cost the Green Bay Packers a win, the NFL and the referees' union are reportedly nearing an end to a lockout that put replacement officials on the field since the start of the season.
The locals will tell you that, as military town, San Diego is home to transplants from all over the country, especially other towns and states where professional sports are well represented. Many of those fans end up in Qualcomm Stadium rooting for the Chargers' opponents.
The NFL conceded Tuesday that a bad call cost the Green Bay Packers the game -- yet still upheld the Seattle Seahawks' victory.
Want to know what a company looks like when it fires all its experienced workers and hires on cheap replacements? Watch last night's embarrassment of a game between Green Bay and Seattle. But this is about more than just a game. This is about a trend in our national economy where trained professionals are cast aside for inferior workers.
The return of Mathews to the lineup was welcomed by most Charger fans, as the third-year pro out of Fresno State was coming off of a broken clavicle suffered in the preseason opener versus Green Bay. What wasn't welcomed was Mathews again getting slippery hands with the ball. In 27 career games, Mathews has fumbled 11 times, with six being recovered by the opposition.
In a game billed as an exciting matchup between two of the top early-season contenders in their respective conferences, the Falcons took the Bolts behind the woodshed, did a number on them, then left them essentially for dead when it was all over.
Game day is here and in all of the excitement, it's best to have a checklist of your Chargers tailgating essentials. We've got your top five must-haves for a winning tailgate party.
