The gates of Allegiant Stadium will open at 1 p.m. on Sunday to give Raider Nation an opportunity to honor legendary coach John Madden before the Raiders host the Los Angeles Chargers later that night.

Madden died Dec. 28 at 85, and his family will light the Al Davis Memorial Torch before the 5:20 p.m. kickoff.
