'Power of Twitter' Helps Chargers Sell Out Game vs. Patriots

Filed under: Chargers, Patriots, AFC East, AFC West

This never would have happened even three years ago, but the New England Patriots and San Diego Chargers can thank Twitter for helping sell out Sunday's game between the two teams at Qualcomm Stadium, thus avoiding a local television blackout.

As Thomas Grillo of the Boston Herald reported, after San Diego tweeted out Thursday on the team's official Twitter account that 1,000 general tickets still needed to be sold by 1:15 p.m. local time in order to lift the blackout, the Patriots followed suit with a tweet of their own.

"Hey Patriots fans on the West Coast, if you want to see the Pats play the Chargers, go to Chargers.com to buy tickets," the tweet read.
