The San Diego Chargers are officially no more.

The Chargers held their three-day minicamp this week at their old San Diego training facility. When Thursday's practice ended, it was the last time the team would be at Chargers Park before their move to Los Angeles.

"I had sweaty hands and I was nervous before practice, and I was like, 'What is wrong with me?'" said quarterback Philip Rivers, who has spent his entire career with the Chargers. "Going into the last minicamp in Year 14 and here I am nervous before going out there is a little ridiculous. But it was because of the fact that I'm not walking out that door with a helmet in my hand again.

"My last practice today went better than my first. I threw an interception my first pass (as a rookie), so I was a little better. My last one ended better than my first one did just about 13 years ago and some change. But gosh, (there’s) a lot of football memories on the field, but more than that, off the field probably just (with) all the time spent with guys."

Rivers has eight children who were all born in San Diego and said leaving Chargers Park for the final time evokes emotions beyond football.

"It's just not my memories professionally and as a teammate in this organization, but my children have memories of us coming up here," Rivers told reporters Thursday, via ESPN. "It's definitely a special place. It's been special, but all things, shoot, come to an end at some point."

The Chargers began as the Los Angeles Chargers in 1960, but moved to San Diego a year later and have spent the last 56 years in America's Finest City. Offensive lineman Matt Slauson, who joined the Chargers last year, told former Chargers center Nick Hardwick the move is "just an evil that you have to deal with."

Tight end Antonio Gates, who has been with the Chargers since 2003, said he is going to come back to the facility at some point to get his fourth-row seat in the team auditorium.

"That's my seat," he told the San Diego Union-Tribune. "I’m going to get some tools and come back here in a few days."

Players posed for pictures at their old home before heading to the locker room to pack up their remaining belongings. A smattering of fans lined the street outside the facility with signs as moving trucks headed north.

"It's a bittersweet moment because obviously the memories are still here, and they will forever be here for myself and guys that have been around," said Gates, a Detroit native who has already been living in Los Angeles. "It's just one of those things where we need to take time out to say thank you to San Diego, and the fans that have been here to support us.

"But at the same time I'm excited to move to L.A. I'm excited about the new change. And hopefully they'll welcome us with open arms and embrace us. And we can win some games, and win a championship."
