Chargers avert local TV blackout of home opener vs. Ravens

SAN DIEGO -- The Chargers have sold enough tickets to lift the local television blackout of Sunday's home opener against the Baltimore Ravens.

The Chargers were in danger of their first regular-season blackout since 2004. Both of their preseason openers were blacked out, and the team has warned fans that there could be regular-season blackouts.

The team said 4,000 tickets remain for their game against the Miami Dolphins one week from Sunday.

The Chargers received a 24-hour extension from the NFL because it still had 1,100 tickets unsold Thursday.
