Allen, Ingram call for Chargers fans to sell out every game in 2016
Now that the Chargers' future in San Diego has been secured for at least another year, some of their players have called upon the fans to show their support by selling out every game in 2016.
Wide receiver Keenan Allen appeared to call out the Chargers' fans on Twitter, challenging them to pack Qualcomm Stadium next season after they received their wish of the team remaining in San Diego:
So it's looks like we are going to be in San Diego for another season. The stadium better be packed. The fans got what they wanted.

While the Chargers' fans have been vocal about their desire to not see their team leave for Los Angeles, they have struggled over the years to consistently sell out their stadium.
