San Francisco, California - The San Diego Chargers and San Francisco 49ers will stage their final dress rehearsal for the 2008 season when the teams meet on Friday night, Aug. 29 at 7 p.m. PDT at Candlestick Park.

Final auditions are the order of the night for numerous players as final roster cuts loom. Teams must trim their rosters from 75 to 53 on Saturday, Aug. 30.

The Series: Friday’s preseason game will be the Chargers’ 37th against the 49ers, their most against any single opponent. The series is tied 18-18 after the Chargers evened the series with a 16-13 win to close out the 2007 preseason. Since 1997, the Bolts are 8-3 against the Niners in preseason action.

In the regular season, the Chargers and 49ers have met 12 times. The 49ers lead that series, 7-5, but San Diego has won the last two meetings, 20-17 in OT in 2002 and 48-19 in 2006.
