At halftime, the team held a ceremony to induct tight end Antonio Gates into the Chargers Hall of Fame. "To the city of San Diego," Gates said, pausing as the Chargers contingent roared as loudly as it had that afternoon. Gates played 16 seasons in the NFL, 14 in San Diego and two in Los Angeles after the team relocated. Linebacker Stephen Cooper, an undrafted free agent like Gates, was Gates' roommate at the Holiday Inn during that 2003 training camp.
