How are San Diego Chargers games like? How do I get there?

In December ill be driving from San Francisco to San Diego for a weekend. My main goal is to catch the Niner and Chargers game that weekend. My question is how are the Chargers games like? I never been to a Charger game. Also how is the parking their? Or should I take public transit?



Also Ill be staying in the downtown area, what are some things I can do at night for a few hours? any restaurant recommendations? (looking more on the cheap side, Im a college student now working part time lol) Any information will help! Thanks!How are San Diego Chargers games like? How do I get there?
FYI the Charger vs 49er game is a Thursday Night game with a 5:20 kickoff.

The best way to get to the stadium is by trolley. It leaves you right at the stadium gate. This is especially true for a Thursday night game during XMAS shopping season. Stores will be open late. There are lots of malls on Friars Road and in the vicinity of the stadium. That combined with the normal rush hour commute will make driving insane. I expect the stadium parking lot to be almost full by noon. On game day they sell all day trolley passes for $5. Parking at the stadium is $20 and, if you're not familiar with traffic patterns, it takes hours to get in and out of the place by car.

As far as resturants, from downtown, you'll need to transfer at Old Town Transit Center to a different trolley line. One block away is one of the best pizza and Italian food resturants in town. Pizza Bella features home made Italian food made from Mama Bella's recipies. During the day their courtyard is open for outdoor dining. It's one block from the Old Town trolley stop. My suggestion is have a late lunch at Pizza Bella and head to the game around 3:00 PM. Gates open 2 hours before kickoff.

Another great downtown place to eat is Kansas City BBQ. It's where they filmed the bar scene in Top Gun. It's right next to the Seaport Village trolley stop. Inexpensive and great food. Their beef brisket sandwich plate is one of my favorites.
