The grass area was the main practice field. The turf area was for athletes recovering form injury. The double doors closest to the grass area was the entrance to the locker room and training rooms. The double doors closer to the turf area go to the weight room. Down the hallway to the left of the main lobby are the classrooms. I was able to take several tours many years ago and got a really good lay of the land. So much so that I could have given a tour. I enjoyed your vid. Thanks for the memories.

[@waynestacy3603]

I am watching this video for the first time. I am 57 years old. I grew up in San Diego. I attended Roosevelt Jr, Morse and Serra high. As the child of an AD Navy sailor, we lived in Spring Valley Navy housing. From 1977 to 1980, the ages of 13 to 15 I was fortunate to have been selected as a ball boy for both the San Diego Chargers and the San Diego Padres. Nearly 3 years of the best summers and fall seasons of my youth. Dan Fouts, Charlie Joiner, Bob Klein, Billy Shields, Hank Bauer, John Jefferson….. the whole team, the managers, the coaches. There were 9 of us each year. They treated us like their own children. We went anywhere we wanted in JM stadium, and the HQ “clubhouse”. Each year we were given so much gear and loot…. 3 different times after practices Dan Fouts and John Jefferson actually gave me a ride home, all the way from Mission Valley to Spring Valley. I always remember how Coach Coryell who was always a “grump” on game days, was such a “grandpa” on practice days, and during mini-camps. One of the greatest, most memorable days in my life was being introduced to Johnny Unitas as a 14yo kid when he came to watch the players during practice one time…. I was a steadfast Chargers fan my entire life. No matter where I lived, no matter who was “hot” as a team. Through all of the rough years…. My support never wavered. The team had my life long support as a fan because of the way they treated me “like family” when I was a kid. The day I found out that Spano was moving the team to LA, I cried… straight up. I cried because I couldn’t imagine the Chargers playing anywhere else. Being called anything else. All the fans, not just me, or the other ball kids over the decades; but all of the fans who cared just as much as I did….. it really hurt when Spano made it clear that nothing mattered to him but the dollar…. It was the last instance of “life’s illusions” from childhood…. Nothing was sacred. As long as the Spanos family retains ownership of the Chargers I hope each week that they never win another football game. John Spanos is a pariah on this franchise. I “hate” very few people in this world; but I hate Spanos for what he took from all of us.

That's pro sports a business with all the sport taken out of it.

binging bc I've been off but so coool! & so proud of this sode being on the news!!!

[@vvarietyshow]

Thank you 💕... #newzboiz

[@AlexWilliams-kq4ww]

Know how you feel I’m from St.Louis I miss Football so much still a Rams fan it’s just not the same 😢

[@brokenoscillatingfan]

Alex Williams thanks for giving us the Rams back. Hope you enjoyed borrowing them

[@seahawkfan1995]

Rams were from LA st Louis stole them

[@ericradford2142]

St Louis won the Super Bowl 20 years ago and Los Angeles didn’t.

[@jimmyjones9775]

ericradford2142 That doesn’t matter. It literally makes no sense to have the rams in St. Louis. The city is deptessing and very little potential. You have no idea how much activity has been going on in LA since the rams returned to their rightful city. Literally the greatest stadium in the world is being constructed and will be complete by summer 2020. This stadium will host the olympics, World Cup matches, and all kinds of other incredible events. Now tell me on what planet would it have been better to forego all of that for the team to remain in St. Louis where the attendance was THE WORST in the NFL. To the rams fans that remained loyal I want to say thank you, but objectively speaking the team moving was the best move for the fans and the league as a whole.

[@eatit2694]

Jimmy Jones no it wasn’t, your city is just good at ruining things. Even movies suck now so thanks l.a.

CHARGERS TRIVIA: In 1960, the first year of the team's playing, they were playing in Los Angeles. In 1961, they moved to San Diego.

[@brianjohnson8807]

That small ass practice complex !!!! They needed to move 👀

[@moeabdullah6434]

How come ya'll ain't checkout that big ass pool sitting right next to the feild

[@vvarietyshow]

We didn't realize until we were already up against the building that it was covered in cameras, and there were more by the pool and the gate by the pool. So we just wanted to check out the fields before it was too late.

[@coldarmy2926]

Personally I think it woulda been smarter if Raiders and Rams were in LA . Chargers should of went to Las Vegas. Plus the name Las Vegas Chargers has a nice ring to it. Especially since its one of the brightness cities in the world . They could've built a new image. Raiders and Rams are LA and that'll never change .

[@vvarietyshow]

That makes sense. We said in an older episode but we thought everyone should stay put and just move the Jags to LA

[@AdventuringwithTrevor]

Just went to this place today was real fun checking it all out. Few cars parked in front watching the place and fresh signs saying “surveillance: youre being watched” but cool find guys!

[@vvarietyshow]

We made it hot 👀😂

[@AdventuringwithTrevor]

The Somethin' Or Other Tour hahaha definitely 😂 this video blew up!

[@vvarietyshow]

Trevor Costelloe oh well lol... we kinda wanted to go back and throw the ball around

[@AdventuringwithTrevor]

The Somethin' Or Other Tour you can probably still do it. We snuck in the back way and had no problems 🤘🏻ive accidentally blown a couple small spots up too its something that you never expect starting out still on YT. Keep up the cool vids though! Great editing

[@andygagnon-reyes9342]

Wow! Just how they picked up and abandoned the area just looks very haunting in a way

[@vvarietyshow]

Yup just gone

Yeah, that’s crazy

Hey guys, my team’s old stadium is abandoned as well, I wonder if the old rams HQ is abandoned too

[@vvarietyshow]

We wanna go 👀 report back lol

Imma send ya the link! The field is totally stripped out and the concession stands are totally gutted

What about that pool? You guys should have brought a ball.

[@vvarietyshow]

Yeah we cheesed it 😢... Maybe next time lol

[@vvarietyshow]

We didn't make it to the pool or gym because we noticed about 50 cameras so we started booking it outta there just incase

[@turtle19dad]

Seems like there were rumors of opponents personnel used to watch on the hill.

[@hectormunoz578]

The old 49ers stadium looks trippy too

[@surfsunsand]

Cant believe he spanos are that blind to reality. They turned down Vegas for LA. People get out of their ice cold towns and go to SD for football. They dont go to LA. Now the Raiders in Vegas will attract ALL the FANS. Stan Kroenke will kick out the Chargers in 3 years due to the overhead cost for the Rams to fund the spanos'. Vegas is the ultimate tailgate pregame city. .... but damn, the Chargers do have a great QB in Herbert.

[@RussellFineArt]

The NFL should force the Chargers back to San Diego, their true home. Nobody wants the them in L.A.--Rams country.

[@alexrodriguez6437]

I don’t know if it hurts more that it is proposed to be a homeless shelter. Thanks California

[@vvarietyshow]

it's now currently a police training facility

That is so fricken cool that y'all could get on the field... Pure Awesomeness. I feel your pain with Raiders getting ready to leave!

[@sumwonkool]

Kimberly Ann it's miserable :( Everyday I wish they would have stayed. Good luck with the raiders move, it really sucks. Now all we have in my city are the dumbass Padres. Ugh, worst team ever

[@rickpeterson8825]

You cant just blame Spanos , they presented 15 different proposals to the City and they shot down every single one ! I been a Chargers fan for 40 years and im from Philly , but i hated when they left San Diego but it is what it is ! Wtf im gonna cheer for the Gayders ? The Silver n Wack !!?? Its STILL GO BOLTS !

[@ojedajoel]

Hate seeing the chargers in LA but i cant see myself wearing a different jersey. Im confident they'll come back when spanos sells the team

[@enterzone263]

Comeback where??? Most certainly NOT San Diego.....

Used some music from Epidemic Sound

The Somethin' Or Other Tour [SOOT.TV] thank you! also could you go back here again?

[@vvarietyshow]

@@aidankenny7753 what do you mean? Like accessibility? Physically it's easy to get in but there are patrols and people watching. Very active area.

[@vvarietyshow]

@@aidankenny7753 just realized I thought I was responding on a different video lol. But this place has a lot of ppl pulling into the parking lot and maintenance crews as well as cameras now. Not sure tho haven't been around there in 4 or 5 months.

[@aidankenny7753]

The Somethin' Or Other Tour [SOOT.TV] ok

[@barnabasseadog7660]

It's the league's loss, blame Spanos and the billionaire owners. Visiting teams fans get to go to Carson instead of San Diego, lol. Still as a San Diego native, quite sad to see. Great video tho, guys. Thanks.

[@reekkoh]

Barnabas Seadog typical Union libtard.

[@LAFan]

Blame SD voters that had a chance to pass Measure C and let out of towners pay for the new stadium. Spanos is a scumbag, but don't let SD voters off the hook.

[@sumwonkool]

Pelon I agree. Wish I coulda voted in it myself but dumbass spanos made the vote only available to city residents, not county residents. Even tho I only live 10 miles out of "the city". Terrible the way they set up that voting, but yea I still blame the other San Diego city voters and the city government as well

[@cesargonzales7934]

Why don’t you try the old Raiders HQ in alameda

[@vvarietyshow]

I have it on my list... needed to do more research.

[@moedog]

Breaks my heart to see this .

[@dower85]

Hurts to watch four years later. I left SD two years before the team did so I dont know San Diego without a Chargers Team. Crazy to think about.

[@vvarietyshow]

It still feels wrong they aren't there

[@alvarorodriguez1514]

You should go to the old rams headquarters and their old Stadium

[@vvarietyshow]

We would love to... Do you know any specifics about it 👀

As a lifelong Charger fan, I wish the Chargers could’ve stayed in San Diego, but don’t blame them for leaving. It’s the City of San Diego that is to blame for the Chargers leaving. The team was begging the city to help them build a new stadium, but the city wouldn’t budge. San Diego remains my favorite city in the entire country, but I’m still pissed they wouldn’t get over themselves and just build the damn stadium… but tbh, it’s not all bad bc the Chargers now play in the nicest stadium in the NFL. SoFi is one of one 💎🥇🐐
