Chargers Fans in Washington, DC

[Hollymom1229]

This is my first post so go easy on me. I moved from San Diego to DC when I was 5 y.o. My entire family are die hard Chargers fans and in the last few years I've met about 3 other Bolts fans in the area. Wondering if there were any others.

[PINOYBOLTS]

I'm A BiG BOLTS FAN not in DC but in neighbooring Virginia Beach, VA.

[chargersfan7]

[Quaven]

[njjunior]

[BigHigsBolts]

Eastern panhandle of wv here. About 50 min. outside of D.C. You mean you're not going to hop on the Redskins bandwagon this year?

[boltfromva]

Is nice to know there are other CHARGERS fans in the area, I am from Chula Vista, 15 miles away from SD but got stuck living in Fredericksburg, I've been a CHARGER fan all my live.
GO BOLTS!

[GOBLTS]

I have been a Chargers fn since '73. Been through the best and worst times. I am living down in Fredericksburg and bleeding blue and Gold every day!!

GO BOLTS!!
GO PADS!!

[WVBOLTFAN]

I live in Jefferson county in WV not too far from D.C.

[chargertom]

Die hard Charger fan living in Glen Burnie, Maryland. Been a fan since they moved to San Diego in 1960. I was born and raised in San Diego, went to Madison High School, and have been an active (and VOCAL!!!) Chargers fan since I could speak. I hate being in the midst of all these Pipsqueek Squealers, Deadskins, and Baltimore Rehabs fans. I just plain hate being back here in MD, because it is so hard to get a game on TV. What's up with that?!?!?! Anywayz ... just sounding off on being a fan, and being proud of my boys in Blue and Gold. Go Chargers ... kick some butt this year!!!!

[RAYRAY37]

welcome aboard D.C. wear your Chargers gear with pride.

[chargertom]

I thought I was the only Charger fan in Maryland. Oh well, works for me! Look for the silver Tahoe, usually prowling on Route 100, wearing the Chargers plates, the Chargers stickers on the windows, and the chrome Chargers emblems on the fenders. The guy inside will probably be wearing a Chargers hat and a jersey. That guy would be me. So if ya see me rolling through all these Deadskins, Squealers, and Baltimore Rehabs fans, honk!!! Chargers fans need to stick together. The few, the proud!

Go Chargers!!

HUGE Chargers fan! Upper Marlboro, Maryland.

The first football game I watched was between the Raiders and Chargers... Fouts, Muncie, Joiner, Chandler, Winslow... I was hooked.

[theonemasta]

Hell ya, Maryland Charger fan here. Lived in San Diego for 13 years and was a season ticket holder from 92-98, the glory years. We are currently in Annapolis. I am one of the biggest Charger fans in the area with the exception of my brother. We watched every game at O'Laughlins in Severna Park this year. Im determined to get a Washington, Philly and NY Jets ticket to next years games. Super Bowl party at my place this coming year! I am also a resident Bills fan (however second to the Chargers).

Go SuperChargers!

[JueKnowIt]

Born and raised in SD for 18 years, now stuck in Arlington, VA. I know there's another Bolts fan in the area - I've seen a car with CA plates that say ChrgrFn driving around.

We've been at Willie & Reed's in Bethesda every Sunday for the past 4 years, though the crew keeps dwindling as people wise up and move back home...

[bigmack215]

hey, im a huge charger fan living in fairfax VA just outside of VA.

WHO ELSE IS GOING TO THE BOLTS SKINS GAMES THIS YEAR@ THE SKINS! I KNOW I AM!



GOOOOOOOOOOOOO CHARGERS!

[Boltfan92153]

At least we saw the shutout against cleveland....................

[Riversrat]

Hey DC, VA, MD and WV Chargers Fans...NC Chargers fan here. Thinking about driving up for the Skins/Chargers game...any of you tailgating in the parking lot??

[droopy13]

:Helmet: i hope to see all you charger fans at the game, when we play the deadskins. i have lived here since 91 and i cann't wait to see them bolts beat up on the skins. and then go up the road and do the same in philly. go bolts

[droopy13]

:Helmet: i live in pince william county, and i wear my blue and gold all the time. and i will be showing my charger pride at fedex field when they beat the skins this year. :Helmet: :Beer:

[joshzele]

First Post...huge fan all my life. Entire family is from Chula and surrounding SD area but I'm transplated out to B'more. UMD grad, so I'm def fired up about the Merriman drafting (although I don't know what the heck he's doing with this holdout junk, stupid Postons)

We've got the Philly game and Skins game this year to go to! Last year I went to the Cleveland game in the driving snow with a BROKEN FOOT! I know I met a MD Bolt fan that day too.

Just remember, '06 Bolts come to B'more and I'm going to be there with bells on.

GO BOLTS! :Bolt:

[LTFan22]

I work in D.C. and live in Alexandria, VA. I move here June first. It'll be the first time in five years that I won't be going to all the Chargers home games. I've was born and raised in San diego and have been a die hard Chargers fan ever since I can remember. I've supported them through thick and thin and will continue to do so on the other side of the country. I'll be going to the Redskins-Chargers game as well, oh hell yeah! Go Chargers...oh and if there are other chargers fans in the area, you can most likely find me in a bar with an LT jersey on on Sundays during the season since the games won't be broadcast oon regular cable!

[raiderH8R]

Bolt Brothers from the Potomac River area. Glad to hear I'm not the only voice ringing out Sunday afternoons when the BOLTS tee it up. I'm from Warren PA, and have been living in NOVA for 10 years now. Been a fan of the electric storm since the days of Chuch Muncie, Kellen Winslow, and oh yeaah, Dan the man. I've done alot of traveling across the country to watch the bolts, and now fly free with Independence Air. I'll be at all the home games and most of the others this season. Won't need my Direct TV Sunday Ticket this season. Also an Angels fan and flying out this weekend for the Angels-Redsox series and going to catch the Pre season game with the Rams.

Let's plan a tailgater for the skins game.

raiderH6R

[lostkeyes]

I kow it is difficult to get Chargers games on tv here. I go to the Mad Hatter in midtown. Coach works the upstairs bar on Sundays and he puts the chargers games on for me. I watched the Rams game there yesterday. There are 5 tv upstairs. The other games are usually the Patriots, always the Giants, coach is a giants fan, 49ers get a tv. The other one is for whomever walks in and wants a specific game. So come on down to the Mad Hatter on M street between 18th and 19th. I have Redskins tickets so I am only there on non redskin home games.

[LTFan22]

Three other Chargers fan and myslef have gotten ouor tickets to the Redskins game and will be partying in the parking lot....when I know which area I'll repost

[say55ow]

Big fan of the Chargers since I was young. I used to live out in San Diego until I move to Virginia. I feel like the only Chargers fan in this state, especially when I live exactly a mile away from Redskins training camp:55:

[liam55]

Hi, Chargers fan born and bred in Ireland, living in Dublin. I am going to DC for the weekend of 25 to 28 Nov to see the bolts play the Redskins. Would love to meet other chargers fans pre game for some craic.

[DC Charger Fan]

Hey there...native San Diegan now living in Bowie, MD. I have tix to the Philly, NY, NE and, of course, the Skins game. We all need to get together as we get closer to the DC date and show these Gibbs freaks how to tailgate!!

Where are you watching the Chargers tomorrow? No more ESPN Zone...ugh...

GOOOOO BOLTS!!!!!

[BOLTFANin757]

I grew up in San Diego (Poway) and have been a faithful fan ever since my dad bought season tickets from 92-98. I joined the military in 01 and have since lived in DC and now Southern VA. I get pressure from my in-laws to convert to a STEELERS fan or Redskins fan but HOW IN THE HELL COULD I?!?! Just thinking about rooting for a different team is as ackward as putting a right shoe on my left foot. As hard as it has been to watch them disappoint me season after season, and the fact that I may never reside in San Diego again, I will always remain on the bolt-wagon. Say-OWW!!! Everyone in SD- enjoy some good cali burritos for me! :Bolt:

[bobsworld]

Forever Chargers fan. Moved from San Diego and away from the Chargers last year for this stinkin' job (I'm finding that no job is worth missing home games). Now, I'm a temporary resident of Bethesda, MD... that is until I get back to SD!

BOLTZ RULE!

[RBI90]

My whole family still lives in Chula Vista. We moved to the DC area in '84 and now live in Richmond, VA. I'm not going to lie, I'm a Chargers fan for life, but I do root for the skins to win EXCEPT when they play the Bolts!!!

Oh, and I will be at Fedex field on November 27. My only question is do I wear my LT :21: or Seau :55: jersey!!!???

[LTFan22]

Man oh man it's good to see I'm not the only San Diego transplant out here. I don't know how much longer I can stand missing Chargers home games after having season tickets for 5 years. Although I'm flying back to San Diego this weekend for the Chargers-Steelers game!!!!!!! Hell yeah! DC Charger Fan I'm have an extra cali burro for you. Wish they had them out here. I also got a ticket to the Redskins game and NY jets game. DC Charger Fan I'll let you know where my group will be tailgating when it gets closer to the game.

Go Bolts!!

[dudeman]

Born a Chargers fan in 64! Looking to tailgate with fellow Bolts fans at the Skins game. Live in the Annapolis area and need that California comraderie!

[DC Charger Fan]

Hey dudeman, SD native 1963. I live in Bowie now and I am going to the game in DC. We'll definitely be t-gating at FedEx.

[wck3]

Born in Hawaii, lived in Oceanside back in the day. Family relocated to Northern VA in the 80's during the recession in Cali. Been a Bolts fan since forever. Unfortunately, been stuck here in VA the last 20 years. :(

[WTPDOSA]

I just moved to DC in August living in Brookland near The National Shrine, and will be here for two years studying at Washington Theological Union.
I would love to hook up with Bolt fans here and catch some games together at some pub or place.
For now I just listen to the webcast on KIOZ.
It would be great to get together.

[liam55]

I am a Charger fan, born, bred and living in Ireland. I am travelling over to DC for the weekend of 25th - 28th November for the Redskins game and was wondering if there are any Charger fans in DC interested in tailgating prior to the game.

[carl]

Former Poway, CA resident now living near Annapolis, MD. I'll be there behind the Bolts for the Skins/SD game cheering the team on. Like another poster, I'm at a loss for which jersey to wear. :)

[bigmack2141]

hey im living here in fairfax Va, definetly going to the chargers skins game, so we can finally shut up all these "skins are gonna win the superbowl" people! lets show em how a real offense works! GO CHARGERS

[Bolt Fan 51]

Man let me tell you there are Steelers bars everywhere out here but not Chargers bars.........Been a fan since the Air Coryell days. Hope to hear from some locals soon. Go Chargers! Beat the Bills!

Dave

[Bolt Fan 51]

Charger Fan here in Manassas VA. Go Bolts! Beat the Bills!

[BOLTSFAN2888]

Just got back from a GREAT game... Chargers 48 - Bills 10, I will be in DC for the game on the 27th.. How would three guys from San Diego hook up with some good O'l chargers fans before the game???

[DC Charger Fan]

To all Bolts fans coming to DC...FedEx is a nightmare. If you are driving, consider buying a parking pass on ebay. See you there!!!

[SDTransplant]

Lifetime SD resident, moving to DC this weekend. (Went to Bills game last weekend.....UNREAL!!!).

Can't go to the Redskins game....so looking for advice of where to watch the game?!?!?

Would prefer a place with youngerish people (MID 20's/ 30's) and CHARGER FANS!!

ANY IDEAS???

Thanks!

[Quaven]

Hey everyone local in DC/MD/VA....I'm trying to hook up with some of you locals in the DC area who are interested in attending the Redskins/Chargers game on 11/27. There are plenty of tickets available....Like on craigslist.org/ or stubhub.com/ or even ebay.

If any of you are interested in getting together to attend the game, email me at ams35@verizon.net Let's do it.

[DC Charger Fan]

[vaboltsfan]

We should have gotten together ... GO BOLTS!!!!:Bolt: :Bolt: :Bolt: :Bolt:

[Chargers99]

does anyone have pics from the game that attended?

[WVBOLTFAN]

does anyone have pics from the game that attended?

I was only able to take a few because the digi cam I borrowed screwed up on me, but have no clue on how to upload them on here.I did thankfully take a disposable one as a backup.

[WVBOLTFAN]

Some guy that said he was from Chargers.com came over to a bunch of us and took a couple pictures of us that he said would be posted on the site,but for some reason they are not on.I was looking forward to that and I don't know why he didn't put them on the site as he said he would.

[jdldore]

Born and raised in PB, now a DC resident. Wore my Chargers pin to work all week -- Go Chargers!

[DC Charger Fan]

hey jdldore...i grew up in PB too. Corner of Beryl and Gresham...lived in Bowie for about 5 years now. Are you a Buccaneer?

[chargertom]

Hey DC .. I guess you read about my bad luck with our gameday pics, huh? Totally sucks. Of course the disc that was corrupted and unsaveable was the one that had our groups pics on it. I knew I shoulda taken more!

Oh well .. maybe we can do it again when the boys come back to play the Ravens next year!

I hope you were able to give the Chargers some love on the air after they won! :)

Go Chargers! :Bolt:

[LightningRod86]

I moved here too when I was five from Poway, California. But I don't live in D.C. I live in Bowie MD. I've loved the chargers since I can remember and it's cool to finally meet some other chargers fans around here. I thought I was the only one. and it really sucks that you can't get anything on t.v. out here.

[DC Charger Fan]

Hey Tom,

Yeah, bummer about the pics but still a great day!! Great meeting you!!

[DC Charger Fan]

Bolts fans in the DC area...we should get together for the victory over Indy! I live in Bowie but will go anywhere there's a Chargers gathering. Anyone??

[FanSince84]

Hello everyone. As my username proclaims, I've been a CHARGERS fan since 84, dating back to the era of Fouts, Jefferson, Joiner, Winslow and Muncie. When I was growing up (in my teeens), playing neighborhood football, my friends reffered to me as Winslow, because I patterned myself after him, due to my love for the team. As adolescent player worshipping goes, when I looked at Kellen, I saw similarities between us, even though I was just a kid and didn't have the physique as he did. Anyway...First, I want to say "What about our CHARGERS" huh? Defeating the 13-0 Colts in their OWN stadium! I am soooooooooo proud of the team! Ending the Colts' perfect record more than makes up for the loss the team suffered at the hands of the Dolphins, the week before. EVEN if the CHARGERS don't get into the playoffs, ending the Colts "drive to perfection" cemented a place for us in the NFL history books...and that's good enough for me. The win was/IS huge! Just for the record, I turned 39 Monday (12/19/05) and I could not have received a better birthday present! I thank God for allowing me to see another birthday and I thank the Chargers for making it a memorable one. If anyone wants to try to plan a get together somewhere in the DC, Baltimore or Maryland area, please be sure to contact me via an e-mail (or reply to me here). I live in Glen Burnie, Maryland and would love to hook up with neighboring Charger fans, either to watch a game in a local bar or to get together just because we all have the CHARGERS in common. I build web sites as a very small side business (as well as a hobby) and I'm thinking about making my own CHARGER fan site for the Baltimore/Washington Metroploitan area. I think it would be very cool if a group of us created a local gathering (perhaps called the MD/DC-ChargersChapter) to include things like member profiles, fan pictures, our group gatherings, etc. just to show our unity, support and appreciation for the CHARGERS. Who knows, it may even get big enough to attract the attention of the team itself. Could you imagine? This endeavor could be the beginning of ChargerChapters propping up everywhere! Hey...I'm all for it. I'll be more than happy to dedicate whatever skills and abilities I have towards such a project. Anyone else? My site is www.theexceptiontotherulecreations.com . Check it out to see what I'm capable of doing. Anyone else want to start a new CHARGERS fan site with me? "Let's Do It!"

[Spank]

Die hard here for 30 years in Owings, MD. (Calvert County). I have had Direct TV for 8 years and havent missed a game because of it. I used to go to a bar called Langways in Lanham to watch the games before I had my home built in Owings. The Bolts were always on the smallest tv and with no volume at all. Its much better in my living room than at the bars. I made my lifelong dream trip to SD this year to see a home game. Unfortunately we lost to the Dolphins that week but I must say it was great to be in the stadium where everyone is rooting for the same team as I was. I was at the 'Skins - Bolts game this year in DC but I was in the minority as far as fans go. The victory was sweet though. The 'Skins had no answer for LT. I am hoping to make my SD trip every year to see a home game. Hopefully I am not the bad luck charm that cost them the game. :14:

[Sled Dog]

Die hard Charger fan living in Glen Burnie, Maryland. Been a fan since they moved to San Diego in 1960. I was born and raised in San Diego, went to Madison High School, and have been an active (and VOCAL!!!) Chargers fan since I could speak. I hate being in the midst of all these Pipsqueek Squealers, Deadskins, and Baltimore Rehabs fans. I just plain hate being back here in MD, because it is so hard to get a game on TV. What's up with that?!?!?! Anywayz ... just sounding off on being a fan, and being proud of my boys in Blue and Gold. Go Chargers ... kick some butt this year!!!! DirecTv football package is well worth the price to see the Chargers every week. My wife is a Redskin fan and she gets to see her Redskins every week here in SoCal. I got the last laugh this year, though. We went to the Redskin/Charger game in DC and lets just say she wasn't a happy camper when it was over.

[SuperChargin']

I was at the 'Skins - Bolts game this year in DC but I was in the minority as far as fans go. The victory was sweet though. The 'Skins had no answer for LT. . :14:

Me too, and it was great being the only Bolts fan in my respective section. I swear, at one point though, I thought I was going to get physically assaulted by some of the more rowdy 'Skins fans. :Beer: I was basically sitting right underneath one of the Bolts luxury boxes (it may have been inhabited by some pretty important people, not sure though), and I actually got them involved in a "Super Chargers" chant at the end of the game. Good times!

Anyways, I went to elementary and middle school in San Diego before moving out to the DC area, and I've been a fan ever since. Put it this way, I would rather get repeatedly kicked in the crotch than ever root for the Ravens or the 'Skins. Go Bolts!!

[bigshug]

I'm actually about three hours south of DC in Lynchburg, VA...for those of you who have heard of my little town, it's probably because of Jerry Fallwell although I have NOTHING to do with him...lol.

I'll be hitting off the Baltimore and Cinci games next season as I have friends in both towns....

[say55ow]

I live out in Ashburn, VA right behind Redskins training camp. Anyone going to Chargers vs Ravens game in Oct??

[BoltWRX]

man DC is rough.. be careful being a fan there

[BoltWRX]

beautiful city tho..

[vachargerfan]

I live out in Ashburn, VA right behind Redskins training camp. Anyone going to Chargers vs Ravens game in Oct??


I will be there.

[MissU28]

I live out in Ashburn, VA right behind Redskins training camp. Anyone going to Chargers vs Ravens game in Oct??

I live in Ashburn, too! Like a mile from training camp... But I am a diehard skins fan... I'd like to hit up that game in October...and I would definitely be rooting for the chargers :D

[MissU28]

man DC is rough.. be careful being a fan there

you're right, but we have no hate towards the chargers out here...it's the eagles, cowboys, and giants...and then others in the NFC. Chargers don't bother us

[PACharger]

Checkin in here. I'm in Arlington/Crystal City. I'm working on tickets for the Ravens game as we speak.

[mshawn]

I'm going to be in DC the weekend of 10/1 when the Bolts play the Ravens, and I was thinking about going to the game. Does anyone know an easy way to take public transit from the District to the Ravens' stadium?

[Spank]

I'm going to be in DC the weekend of 10/1 when the Bolts play the Ravens, and I was thinking about going to the game. Does anyone know an easy way to take public transit from the District to the Ravens' stadium?
There isn't a public transit that carries between the two cities, however its only about 40 miles so taking a cab or paying for a shuttle isnt out of the question. The Ravens stadium is just inside the city right off of a major interstate so you dont have to go deep into the city to get there. I'll be there myself hoping to find some faithful to tailgate with.

The city, aka Washington D.C., aka "Murder Capital of the World, is a dump IMO. Of course Ive been around it just about all my life so I have a negative bias towards it. Its not tough to be a Bolts fan here though. Most seasons I dont have much to brag about so I had to take the tongue lashings as they came. Hopefully the last 2 seasons will be a sign of things to come and I can do more bashing and less cringing when it comes to the locals.

'Skins fans aint bad at all. Their spoiled a bit, but not untolerable. This aint Philly ;)

[PACharger]

Mshawn, there is also a communter train that runs from DC up to BWI airport, from there it would be a cheaper cab ride up to the stadium. I don't have any details on the train at the moment, but I can get the info from a friend who uses it often, if you would like?

That would be cool. Not sure if I will be able to make the game yet, but would be great to know how to get there if I do. Thanks.

A 40mile cab ride would be super expensive. Would be cheaper to rent a car. The commuter train would be the ticket.

I'll be there wearing my powder blue UNITAS jersey.

[jbro17]

Hi all... I went to UCSD and now am a Georgetown grad student, like a fish out of water (somewhat literally!) i'm looking for anyone, any age, who wants to meet up for some of the games in the DC area at a sportsbar big enough to show the games... and ofcourse, we can :Beer: :Beer: too! reply to the post and i'll send you contact info!

[Charger Maniac]

Hey there!! This also is my first post - I have'nt found anyone in this area (Calvert County) that is a die hard fan!! :Bolt: I've been trying all sorts of ways to find tickets for the Ravens game (all my fiends hacve stinkin' skins season tickets)!! I usually go to all the games that are near the dc area - Usually watch the games at home on the 55" but always love wearing my throwback Fouts jersey to games!1 Go Bolts!!:Beer:

I live in Owings,(should be called Sunderland) just south of Dunkirk. They dont get much more die-hard than me. 30+ years as a Bolt Backer. I bleed Blue and Gold. I went to the game last year at Washington, and went out to San Diego for the Miami game. I am going to the Ravens game this year and am going back to San Diego for the Browns game in November. The Chargers are who I am during football season. I love them unconditionally. 15-1 -or- 1-15, I love just the same. I am trying to talk the wife into letting me put a flag pole up in the yard. If so look to your right coming down Route 4 during the season and you'll see my Chargers colors flying high for all to see.

GO BOLTS!!!

[DC Charger Fan]

DC Charger Fan reporting for duty!! Met a lot of you at 'Skins game last year, definitely making B-more game. Probably going to Cincy & Buffalo too. Oh, and heading back home for Steelers match-up on 10/8. Couldn't miss that one!!

Where's Charger Tom? Anyone else from last year's crew back with us this year?

[MDChargerFan]

I'm here. Where are you sitting at the B-more game. We're sitting in section 119 row 21 seats 1-4.BTW where are you watching the game tonight.

[MDboltfan]

Is anyone around Baltimore? I'm looking for a good bar to watch the Chargers games. It'd be great to watch with other fans.

[DC Charger Fan]

Hey MD Charger Fan, I'll be in the Club Level, Section 231. I've survived Philly & Oakland in Chargers gear. I'm guessing a day at M&T won't even come close to that kind of drama. Where's a good place to watch to watch this weekend's beat down of the Titans? :Cheers:

I was hoping you could tell me. The wife wont let me get Sunday Ticket.

[jbro17]

Hey all, I posted a while back wondering if any of you meet at a particular bar in the D.C. area... I never got any response, but I'll be headed to a bar in Georgetown called Rhino Pumphouse (its on M and 33rd) for the game and :Beer: ($8 pitchers). Sadly, its more of a Eagles bar than anything else, but they will be showing the game... I'll be wearing my Edwards throwback (:Bolt: :59: :Bolt: )...

[MDboltfan]

Any fans want to meet up in MD? I haven't found any great places to watch the Chargers game in Balt. Fletchers in Fell's point will have the game on a decent sized flat screen and the food's not bad, but no sound. ESPN zone is good but always packed. The Georgetown bar is a drive but...? All you Chargers fans who got tickets to the Ravens games are lucky, decent seats on stub hub are priced WAY out of the range of a graduate student!

[DC Charger Fan]

Damon's in Crofton shows all the games. They have a typical chain menu, good bar.

I'm also thinking about going into B-more for a couple of pre-game brews. They'll be a lot of Raiders fans heading to the stadium. I figure just the sight of Chargers gear will drive them crazy...

I'll probably be in Fell's point let me know what bars you're heading to before the game. I'll be in my LT throwback jersey

[brees2gates]

ill be at the ravens game section 113 row 3 baby blue authentic merriman jersey!!

[Quaven]

I'll be in section 113 row 39. We should all get together for the game. It's going to get rowdy!! All interested, PM me.

[Quaven]

DC Charger Fan reporting for duty!! Met a lot of you at 'Skins game last year, definitely making B-more game. Probably going to Cincy & Buffalo too. Oh, and heading back home for Steelers match-up on 10/8. Couldn't miss that one!!

Where's Charger Tom? Anyone else from last year's crew back with us this year?

Hey DC Charger fan, I may have met you last year. Charger Tom and I came down together to the Skins game. Charger Tom took a photo and posted it in this forum. I'll be at the game as well.

[brees2gates]

id like to find the bolt faithful that was gating early morning at the raddison parking lot with me, a few of them said they would post but i never seen any. some mexican dudes flew in from la to see the game and immediately fly home. good story too bad little recognition on this site over the past year.

What's up, Quaven!! Time to rock n roll again, this time in the so-called Charm City. I'll be in Lot H. Right now I'm figuring out the tailgate logistics.

[Bolt619]

Whats up fellas! Im in Baltimore for about 2 months and considering attending the game on 10/01. How bad are the fans in balitimore? It should be a good game and :21: should kick ash!!

[Bolt619]

Is anyone tailgating for the baltimore game? Or maybe getting together before the game? The more bolts the better!!:Helmet:

[california gal]

I moved here from SD - to MD a couple of years ago and still love my Chargers! I fly out to SD to see games at home too!
Looks like the Ravens are in for a tough game this weekend against our BOLTS!
Any Charger fans planning to watch the game anywhere in MD?

[Bolt619]

Im still not sure if i would be going to the game now that i hear how baltimore fans get! Im in Baltimore county but im not sure what sports bars are in the area. If any one is going to or has a suggestion on the place to go let me know!!:Helmet:

[DC Charger Fan]

Dude, B-more fans are totally cool. (But then again, my outlook may be skewed. I've been to Oakland & Philly in Charger gear and live to tell the tale.)

[DC Charger Fan]

OK, so here's the deal. I have a pass for Lot H, which I hear is the only lot for public parking. Perfect for tailgating. I'm thinking that we should build a Chargers Zone. 3-4 cars will do it...and everyone's invited. Anyone? If interested, PM me.

[jbro17]

:( Sadly, I won't be joining you all out in baltimore for the game... but as usual, I'll be at Rhinos Pumphouse bar in Georgetown, on M street... last week I found 4 other fans, and together we will slowly but surely turn the Eagles bar around to our side :) ... Good beer :Beer: and what not, look for me and others probably upstairs (i'll be in my donnie throwback :59: )... have fun at the game, REPRESENT THE CHARGERS!!

I was there too, but the Crow fans I was around were very respectful. Just some normal smack talk.

I want another shot at the Ravens in thr playoffs. In SD or B-more, doesn't matter. Just want revenge.

[jbro17]

Hey all,
I'll be at Rhino's Pumphouse on M Street in Georgetown if anyone wants to meet up... I've gathered together a small (but growing) group of loyal fans throughout the season who meet there every week, but we need help against the Patriots fans... Not that it will matter past the first quarter, Merriman and LT will have shut them up by then :Cheers:

I was there too, and until the Crows went ahead they were mostly fine (a couple empty cups thrown at me when the Chargers scored but no big deal) but after the Ravens won, it was UGLY getting out of my seats. The Ravens fan I was with was just ashamed of the crowd.

Sounds like a fun offer, but I see myself just staying home for this game. Usually I can be found at the Crystal City Sports Pub for most of the Chargers games. Especially since it's less then 100 yards from my building.

Hi, I'm an regular at the Union Tribune Chargers Forums and I just came across this. I'm a HUGE Charger fan in D.C. I became a Charger fan back in 1990 when Eric Bienemy was drafted from Colorada. I lived in Oklahoma back then. Anyway, I would love to get together with some Charger fans around here. Is there a group that watches the games? Also, I'd like to do some networking with you guys.

I don't know about groups....jbro17 posted about a group that goes to Rhino's Pumphouse on M Street in Georgetown a little while ago....not sure if he's still doing that or not.

I also posted that Crystal City Sports Pub is a good place for any fan....especially with them just adding another level (non-smoking) to their building.

Hey there fellow Chargers Fans! We had a good group from the area last year at the Ravens game. Easily one of the bast tailgates I've ever been to. A sea of blue and gold in the Crows backyard...great fun! I live in Annapolis now and in the area for 6 years. To the person that mentioned Rhino on M...it's a serious Boston bar and anyplace that backs the Pats gets no love from me! Ha! Let's all hang out for Bears opener.

[MDboltfan]

Bolt fan up in Baltimore, just giving a shout out. DC is a ways to drive, but if you get a big enough group together for the Pats game I'll definitely make it! (Also GO Pointers!)

[Phila68]

Anyone know of any bars in DC/VA/MD area to watch the game religiously. I am a die hard fan and want to find a pro charger bar. Anyone have any ideas?

[DC Charger Fan]

Two days til kick-off!! Where are my people?? Just got back from SD, need to be surrounded by fellow Bolt fans on Sunday. Hit me back. Let's make a plan!!

[ChefBolt]

best place to see the Pats game might be at ESPNZone in downtown DC... it will be the only NFL game... we can pack the place with blue and gold! Last year I saw about 50 Denver fans there it was CRAZY!

See you in Arizona!

[PbBoltsGirl]

Does anyone know of a Chargers sports bar in the DC area?

It seems like there is not a meeting spot for Chargers fans in Wash. DC. Is anyone else want to solve that problem.

Are you in DC? Or are you in VA or MD? There seems to be a group of us that are making Crystal City Sports Pub our home ground...there's about 5-6 us in there regularly. Take the Metro (yellow or blue lines) to Crystal City. Then walk over to 23rd street...you'll see the Sports Pub, as it's the highest building on that part of the street and it has several satellite dishes on the roof.

Although I am primarily a Steelers fan from Silver Spring, Maryland, I do consider myself a fan of LaDamian Tomlinson.

I will be pulling for the Chargers against Indianapolis.

GO LT!!:helmet

Sing the 1979 (it's a disco 1) song for the Chargers in DC, and you will have friends for life.

Go Chargers! We beat um, we can beat them again.
Positive vibes.This is my first post so go easy on me. I moved from San Diego to DC when I was 5 y.o. My entire family are die hard Chargers fans and in the last few years I've met about 3 other Bolts fans in the area. Wondering if there were any others.

[Fan4Life21]

Let's give it to our team this Sunday in the DC area. GO CHARGERS!

Scream, shout for a good run, pass interception, etc.
Remember, Man (nothing) had his worse day with us in Indy. Still one of our best games in a while, besides all the other ones.

[wallab44]

My wife and I grew up in San Diego ( morse high and el cap). After the Bolts had so many near wins in the past but came up short--we picked a second team for "backup" which is the Patriots. Which are we rooting for? The Chargers of course !!!!!!!!!!! We want to see New England lose but as I tell my co-workers, "they aren't gonna lay down, they wanna win too, so one will have to beat them". We're excited for this group of present Chargers ( we were excited with Hadle,and Fouts too) and hope they prevail in what will likely be a tuff game on both sides. We are in Vancouver Washington but hearts belong with the Bolts win or lose. Go Chargers !!!:layup

Any bolts fans want to get together to watch the game. maybe somewhere between DC and Baltimore like Dave and Busters in Arundel Mills. I'm also willing to drive to DC if there's a good crowd somewhere.

I live in Arlington and we have a group of Charger fans that watch the games at Bailey's Pub & Grille in the Ballston Mall near the Ballston metro station. It's a pretty big place so it's good to watch the games there. Getting ready for the upcoming season! :layup

Okay I am stoked that there are so many fans in the area!! I am a HUGE fan (3rd generation from Chula Vista) and my father has had season tickets for 29 years. My husband (who is a jets fan :-( . . . Monday night should be fun this year) and I were able to buy 2 of his seats for the 06-07 season. I think the hardest part about my husband getting stationed here was having to give up those seats. I am in Arnold, MD and can't wait to hang out w/ other fans. Did I hear someone say O'Laughlins? The one by the superfresh? Let me know and I might have to sneak out after the kids are in bed. By the way I almost honked at someone on Rt 2 w/ charger stickers as my 6 year old yelled "Mommy a charger fan!!" I drive a Toyota Sienna w/ a Charger licence plate cover . . . my bolt should be put on before the start of the season. Give 2 honks if you see me!!! GO CHARGERS!!!

I wish I could do that here in Denver... people just look at you weird when you say you are a Charger fan, or if you ask if they have any Charger gear for sale, kinda like a twilight zone or something, I think I'll just order a Charger flag and fly it from my window everyday.

I lived in Ballston for 3 years and watched every Bolts game at Baileys or Car Pool. I usually found a few Bolts fans here and there. One time I actually was wearing my Natrone Means home blue jersey and someone was wearing the exact same jersey at Baileys. My mind was blown as I've lived in VA my whole life and rarely came across Chargers fans, let alone someone rocking an old school jersey.

Dear HollyMom-

Welcome to the posts. We'll take it easy on you (we're harmless). I live on Long Island, NY and as a huge (yet very lonely) Charger fan, I feel your pain as you look for fellow Bolt-lovers to watch the games with. My wife and I go down to DC alot. Easy Amtrak ride from NY (2:40 minutes). Stay in Capitol Hill area. Hang out at Black Cat, go to concerts at 9:30 Club, eat at Perry's- but never seem to be able to find other Charger fans.

Next time we come down to DC, we might have to meet up with some of the Md/DC/Va fans on this thread and take over a bar in our Powder Blue jerseys and root on the Bolts!
