The 94th NFL Football Season kicks off with the defending Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens visiting the Denver Broncos at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on Thursday, Sept. 5 (8:30 p.m. ET on NBC). Californians won’t have a chance to cheer for their home teams until Sunday, however. That’s when San Francisco 49ers (49ers.com) play the Green Bay Packers at Candlestick Park on Sept. 8. The game is broadcast on NBC. San Diego Chargers (chargers.com) play their first game on September 9, 2013 against the Houston Texans at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego. Tickets start at $52
