Chargers "Very Likely" To Face Local TV Blackout Of "MNF" Game

A Chargers team source said a local TV blackout is "very likely" for Monday's home game against the Colts, as more than 9,000 general tickets remained unsold as of yesterday. This would be the first "MNF" game blacked out since the Falcons hosted the 49ers on Jan. 3, 2000. An announcement on the blackout "could come as early as the Friday deadline at 5:40pm PT" (SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, 10/11). Chargers TE Antonio Gates said, "It's unfortunate. You want to think that you have true fans. ... It's crazy that it's hard to sell out a Monday Night game" (SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, 10/11).
