The Chargers’ next home game is Sunday, Nov. 1 versus the Oakland Raiders.
The Chargers are strongly recommending that fans attending Monday night’s game use mass transit or carpool, and arrive EARLY. The parking lot at Qualcomm Stadium will open at 1:00 pm for general parking and 12 noon for those with pre-purchased permits. The lot is expected to fill and close early, so fans are encouraged to get to the stadium gates early to ensure that they are in their seats for kickoff.

To avoid heavy traffic around the stadium on Interstates 8 and 15, fans can reach the stadium via the Friars Rd. East exit off of Highway 163.

Those planning to ride the Trolley should note that the evening kickoff is in the middle of rush-hour traffic. Fans traveling after 3:30 should expect significant delays while attempting to board. In addition, the level of service before the game will not be as frequent as it is before a Sunday afternoon game due to the limited number of trains available. Commuters traveling on the Green Line during this time are also advised to adjust travel patterns.

MTS Issues a Travel Alert for Monday Night Chargers Game
Fans are Encouraged to Travel Early

San Diego - The Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) is strongly recommending that fans attending the Monday Night game against the Denver Broncos travel early.  Kickoff for this divisional game is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. during the evening commute, at a time when most Trolleys are already full of commuters and when the entire fleet of Trolleys is committed to the rush hour timetable leaving fewer trains available to be dedicated to event service. 

Fans boarding after 3:30 p.m. will likely experience delays due to crowded trains.  Fans traveling during the last 90 minutes before kickoff should expect significant delays while attempting to board as trains will arrive at some stations with capacity loads already on board.  In addition, the level of service before the game will not be as frequent as it is before a Sunday afternoon game due to the limited number of trains available.  Commuters traveling on the Green Line during this time are also advised to adjust travel patterns.  There will be no Chargers Express bus service to this game, as it is a weekday, and those buses will be transporting commuters as well. After the game, MTS will operate extra Green Line service in both directions as needed. Blue Line service from Old Town will maintain 15-minute frequency until 9:45 p.m. Passengers heading to Qualcomm can use the Green Line park & ride lots, which include Old Town, Morena, Grantville, Grossmont Center, Amaya Dr. (La Mesa), El Cajon Transit Center, Gillespie Field, and Santee Town Center. Passengers heading to Qualcomm can also transfer to the Green Line at Old Town (from the Blue Line) or at Grossmont Center (from the Orange Line).

Customers are encouraged to buy $5 day passes before boarding the Trolley on their way to their event in order to save time and avoid ticket lines. Tickets may be purchased at all Trolley station ticket vending machines, The Transit Store or ticket booths.  An MTS day pass is good on the Trolley and most MTS bus routes. For further information on special event services or to purchase tickets visit www.sdmts.com or contact 511. MTS operates a 54.3-mile light rail transit network, 95 fixed bus routes, and ADA Complementary Public Paratransit Service in the San Diego region. In FY09 it set a system record by carrying more than 91 million passengers.

The San Diego Chargers added experienced depth to their defensive line Wednesday when they re-signed veteran defensive tackle Ian Scott. 

To make room for him on the roster, the team released safety Clinton Hart. Scott, a seven-year veteran, joined the Chargers last September and appeared in four games with San Diego.  He spent the entire 2009 offseason with the club and was released at the conclusion of training camp.

Hart joined the Chargers in 2004 and has been a starting safety since 2007.
