Terrell Owens will make an official return to the 49ers’ home stadium this season to take part in an official Pro Football Hall of Fame ceremony.
Owens confirmed he will be at Levi’s Stadium on Thursday, Nov. 1, to accept his Hall of Fame ring during a halftime ceremony of the 49ers’ game against the Raiders.
Owens did not attend the induction ceremony in August in Canton, Ohio, as he chose to celebrate his election into the Pro Football Hall of Fame with a gathering at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, his alma mater.

The Hall of Fame on Wednesday announced dates that all eight inductees will receive their Hall of Fame rings. NBC Sports Bay Area asked Owens via text if he would attend the ceremony at Levi’s Stadium. He immediately responded, “I will.”
The Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence is one of three symbols of a person’s induction into the Hall of Fame, along with the gold jacket and the bronzed bust, which are presented during ceremonies during induction weekend.
Owens was voted into the Hall of Fame in his third year of eligibility. Owens was voted into the Pro Bowl six times in his 15-year career. He ranks second all-time behind Jerry Rice with 15,934 receiving yards and third in NFL history behind Rice and Randy Moss with 153 touchdown receptions.
