Postgame Notes from today's Chargers-Jaguars game at Qualcomm Stadium

Posted by email 
The Chargers scored a touchdown today on their first drive of the game…the Bolts did so four times in 2009 (vs. Oakland, at Denver, vs. Cincinnati and at Dallas)

Antoine Cason’s first-quarter interception was the fifth of his career…he intercepted a 51-yard pass fromDavid Garrard thrown deep down the middle. ..Cason intercepted his second pass of the game at 13:42 of the second quarter…he is the first Charger with two-or-more interceptions in a game since Stephen Cooper vs. Oakland Dec. 4, 2008…Shaun Phillips tipped the pass that resulted in the second interception.

Cason added a forced fumble later in the second quarter that was recovered by Kevin Burnett.

The last time the Chargers were involved in a game that featured four or more interceptions in a half was Nov. 11, 2007 when the Chargers (1) and Indianapolis Colts (4) combined for five.

The Chargers had a total of six takeaways today, four interceptions and two fumbles…it was their most in a game since six against Detroit Dec. 16, 2007 (5 interceptions and one fumble).

Late in the first quarter, Antonio Gates had his first catch of the day, a 12-yarder…on the catch he moved past Steve Jordan (6,307) for the seventh-most receiving yards in NFL history among tight ends.

In the second quarter, Gates caught a nine-yard touchdown pass…the touchdown was the 61st of his career, breaking a tie with Jerry Smith for the third most receiving TDs by a tight end in NFL history…later in the second quarter, Gates caught his second TD pass, the 62nd of his career, moving him into a tie with Shannon Sharpe for second-most all-time among tight ends…Atlanta’s Tony Gonzalez is the all-time leader with 82.

Today’s game marked the 12th multi-touchdown game of Gates’ career.

Dating to last season, Gates has at least one touchdown catch in six-straight regular-season games, tying him with John Jefferson (1980) and Lance Alworth (1964 and 1967) for the second-longest streak in team history…the record is nine games, set by Alworth in 1963.

Philip Rivers passed for 334 yards today, the 16th 300-yard game of his career, tying John Hadl for the second-most in team history…Rivers finished today 22 of 29 (.759) for 334 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions for a 119.0 rating. It was the 32nd regular-season game of his career in which he’s posted a rating of 100.0 or higher.

Mike Scifres had a punt blocked in the second quarter, the first allowed by the Chargers since Denver’s Tony Scheffler blocked one Oct. 7, 2007 at Invesco Field…it was only the second blocked punt of Scifres’ career.

Today’s attendance was 62,691…nearly 5,000 tickets were sold to today’s game following Thursday’s announcement that the game would be blacked out on local television.

Injury Update
Ryan Mathews (right ankle – 1st quarter)…he did not return to the game after the injury.

Chargers preparing fans for home opener

Posted by email 

Due to the success of the San Diego Chargers’ fan conduct initiative, Gameday…The Right Way, the Chargers along with the City of San Diego, San Diego Police Department, Elite Show Services, Ace Parking and Centerplate will continue to provide one of the most enjoyable fan experiences in the NFL.

“We are pleased to see positive results through our Code of Conduct policy,” said A.G. Spanos, the Chargers’ Executive Vice President – Executive Officer. “The policy has helped create a more fan-friendly environment and fewer incidents at games. We continue to see great success with our Designated Driver program. We’ve been among the top five teams in the NFL for the past four years with the most fans pledging to be designated drivers.

“All of the parties involved, including the fans, have helped create a safe and enjoyable experience at the games.”

There are several new initiatives and reminders that the Chargers are bringing to the fans’ attention. Both in the stadium and in the parking lot, fans have two options to reach security or the Chargers’ Guest Services. Fans can text “SECURITY” to 59629. Fans may also call 1-877-CHARGERS (242-7437) to speak with a Guest Services representative, report fan conduct issues or ask general questions.

The team would also like to remind fans that smoking is not allowed in Qualcomm Stadium and fans in violation will be ejected from the stadium.

In addition to the team’s Family Sections inside the stadium, the team now has designated an alcohol-free Family Parking Section. Spaces are available through advance purchase at $20 per game.

Transportation alternatives continue to be a top focus for the Chargers, Ace Parking and Qualcomm Stadium. The Chargers want to remind fans that bus service is available to and from games. Sports Fan Express, a new express bus service, and Chargers North County Express Coach are excellent transportation options for fans. The North County service has two new pick up locations in Temecula and special service from DeAnza Cove/Beach areas. Tickets can be purchased in advance to guarantee a seat. For more information, go to www.Chargers.com for pick-up locations and times.

The San Diego Trolley continues to drop fans at the stadium doorstep on game days. Fans can buy commemorative day passes in advance at the Chargers Team Store at Gate G.

If driving to Chargers home games, please carpool and expect major delays almost two hours before kickoff. The parking lot opens four hours prior to kickoff. Vehicles with parking permits can access the parking lot five hours before kickoff.


The goal of Gameday…The Right Way is to focus fans’ attention on the Fans’ Code of Conduct, which the team created in 2006 to remind fans to be considerate and respectful of their fellow fans at all times. The Code of Conduct is in effect from the time fans enter the parking lot to the time they leave the parking lot.
The Fans’ Code of Conduct states that fans who demonstrate inappropriate and disruptive behavior, including the following, are subject to ejection and season ticket holders risk losing their season ticket account and/or parking privileges for:

  • Excessive consumption of alcohol 
  • Obscene, offensive or abusive language or actions 
  • Fighting, or otherwise dangerous, abusive or profane behavior 
  • Unruly or inconsiderate behavior 
  • Indecent exposure or undressing 
  • Wearing obscene or indecent clothing 
  • Smoking inside the stadium 
  • Scalping or other improper resale of tickets 
  • Interfering with security procedures 
  • Interfering with the progress of the game, going onto the field or throwing any object onto the field or on the stadium premises. 
  • Any action warranting eviction and/or confiscation of game tickets by SDPD or stadium security. 


Event patrons are responsible for their conduct as well as the conduct of their guests and/or persons using their tickets. Even if season ticket holders give away or sell their tickets to a game, the account holder is responsible for the actions of those using the tickets. Event patrons and guests are subject to ejection without refund and potential loss of ticket privileges for future games for violations of the Code of Conduct.

Chargers making plans for home opener

Posted by email 

The Chargers have added some special touches for the fans to raise the energy level in Qualcomm Stadium for their much-awaited home opener versus the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, Sept. 19.

Ticket holders are urged to get to their seats in time for the pregame festivities. The team has planned a special tribute to two Chargers Hall of Famers who passed away this offseason. Fans will have a chance to pay tribute while the team presents a moving video and moment of silence for former Head Coach Don Coryell, 85, and defensive tackle Gary “Big Hands” Johnson, 57, both members of the team’s Hall of Fame who passed away in July and August, respectively.

The Chargers also will wear helmet decals, one showing “Air Coryell” and the other showing Johnson’s number 79. 
 
Following the tribute, fans will be lifted out of their seats when skydivers land on the stadium field, a giant American flag is unfurled by Marines during the National Anthem, and the final crescendo will be a flyover to kick off the home opener.

The Chargers have approximately 12,000 tickets available for the opener, including 2,000 Club seats, some of the best seats in the stadium. Fans without tickets have a wide variety of price levels and locations to pick from, starting at $54 in the Chargers’ Family sections.

The team has until 1:15 pm PT Thursday, Sept. 16 to sell enough tickets to assure its opener will be televised live in Southern California.
