Los Angeles Chargers

Chargers Fan of the Year 2025

Lawrence Branton

Lawrence (aka Larry) Branton is thought to be the longest living continuous season ticket holder for the Los Angeles Chargers. Larry's fandom began when the Ohio native moved to San Diego from the San Francisco Bay Area. He became a season ticket holder in 1961 and has not missed a single home game since 1972! Larry shared his love of the Bolts with his two daughters, Lara and Jennifer, and has had Lara accompany him to nearly every home game – be it in San Diego or Los Angeles – since her youth. Larry currently takes the train up from his home in Bay Park, San Diego, to Union Station in Los Angeles to attend every game at SoFi Stadium. Also having gone on the road to watch his beloved Chargers, Larry cites the 1994 AFC Championship Game in Pittsburgh and the team's first trip to London in 2008 as his all-time favorite away games. "Bolting Up" for the better part of seven decades, Larry Branton is the true epitome of what it means to be a diehard Chargers fan!
