Adios Chargers - An End To The Era February 10, 1961 that’s when I became a Charger fan, the day that Barron Hilton announced he would bring the Western Division Champion Chargers to San Diego. By May the city was already starting to add a second deck to Balboa Stadium. That December 24, I listened to my transistor radio as the Houston Oilers shut down the offense and won the AFL Championship 103. As a nine year old I was hooked on pro football, the excitement, the fun at the stadium, all of it (even if you did need to bring a seat cushion for those concrete seats). I’d seen the NFL on TV but that meant the Rams and 49er’s, plus the Lions on Thanksgiving, they ran the ball more than anything and the AFL passed, and they had a 2 point conversion, the ball moved up and down the

Super Bowl later, back to hohum-ville. I could go on up through this year the pattern is the same only the names change on the field, in the owners box, it’s Spanos- now son Dean. The organization has been down longer than up. I lost my enthusiasm back when

oversized shoulder pads who could catch anything (or so it seemed to me). They had defense too, Ernie Ladd, Earl Faison, Chuck Allen. Ask the Patriots - Chargers 51-10 for the AFL Championship in 63. In 66 NFL and AFL agree to merge and Gene Klein buys out Barron Hilton and a new era, 67 San Diego Stadium opens. Mediocrity reigns until 78 when Don Coryell is named head coach. Then the fun begins again. The “Air Coryell” years take off and being a Charger fan is cool again. 1984 - Alex Spanos buys the controlling interest from Klein. 1985 - Coryell is forced out, back to mediocrity, and the revolving door for head coaches until 1992 when Bobby Ross arrives, 5 years and 1(and only)
