SAN DIEGO (The Associated Press) -

The only NFL team in Southern California says it's having trouble selling out its games because of the slow economy.

In a story posted on their Web site, the San Diego Chargers are warning fans there's a chance some games will be blacked out on local TV.

Chargers chief operating officer Jim Steeg is quoted as saying that the team has a lot of tickets to sell for all games and that they're better seats than have been available in recent year.

Spokesman Bill Johnston wouldn't give specific numbers of tickets remaining. He said no games are close to selling out.

The last local TV blackout was for a 2006 exhibition game.
