My uncle was stationed in SD when i was a kid and lived in Murphy's canyon. I'd spend a few weeks every summer down there going to Padres games. My dad and I did a little socal swing before the all star break in 2019. Caught games in ANA, SD, and LA. Made sure to do a drive around the Murph cause I wasn't sure if it would be the last time. Miss going that place.

SD native here. Will never forget early 90s as a kid going to Charger's games with my dad every Sunday. The team... Humphreys, Means, SEAU!!! The fans, the tail gating, the BBQ smell, watching cops arrest drunk people. I can still remember how the touchdown cannon would literally scare the shit out of me. I still remember how loud it would get in there and then The Rolling Stones - Start me Up song blasting on the speakers. Great times but dam... the place really became outdated. No renovations done what so ever. Still using that 360p resolution Jumbo screen... gtfo!

Jack Murphy Stadium, the stadium's proper name, will always be my home stadium and my Field of Dreams. SD Super Chargers Forever!! Go Win the World Series, San Diego Padres!!

My memory of "The Murph" is as a team member of Long Beach State from 1969 to 1971. We (49ers) played the Aztecs at Jack Murphy in '69, which SDSU won 36-32, before about 45,000. Two years later, we beat the Aztecs at The Murph, 12-7. As a spectator in 1984, I was at The Murph for the Holiday Bowl. I really liked that stadium. It had a lot of life!

Akbar thank you for this great good bye video! I saw so many legends at the Murph as a kid of the 80's. Charlie Joiner, Goose Gossage, Chuck Muncie, Steve Garvey, Rolf Benirshke, Craig Lefferts, Gary "Big Hands"Johnson, Tim Flannery, Natrone Means, and of course Tony Gwynn and Junior Seau. I would argue that a lot of San Diego's Community fabric was woven at Jack Murphy Stadium. I know it was run down and dilapidated, but it was simply San Diego. So sad it's being demolished. But happy we had such a great time for 50 plus years. We were actually pretty lucky during that time. You stay classy San Diego!

A lot of memories. Jack Murphy Stadium AKA The Murph. Watched a lot of games on TV. The Holy Roller 1978, The San Francisco 49ers, and San Diego Chargers played many games both pre season and regular season games, Super Bowl XXII, XXXII, and XXXVII, the latter was final time the Super Bowl was played, who can't forget Howard Cosell, Frank Gifford, Don Meredith and Monday Night Football. I saw Dan Fouts day on TV November 27th, 1988. There was a ceremony for him in which he gave a speech, the teamates congratulate him, he got a car and the team retired his 14 jersey. Fouts played for the Chargers from 1973-1987. Also a lot of legends played here: Joe Namath, Joe Montana, Kirby Puckett, Johnny Unitas, Terry Bradshaw, Roger Staubach, Fran Tarkenton, Lance Allworth, Dan Marino, Walter Payton etc. Coaches Tom Landry, Bud Grant, Don Shula, Bill Walsh, John Madden, Hank Stram, Joe Gibbs...

It had THE BEST DESIGN of all the football/baseball stadiums of the 60s and 70s. Grass field, the open end on the southeast side to allow airflow (with the smells of Randy Jones' BBQ wafting in from there), the ground level entrance to the back of the Plaza level, a square shape like Veterans Stadium so only one field level section had to be moved, and pretty good sight lines (except in the back three rows of Plaza where you had to almost rest your head in the lap of the person next to you to see the main scoreboard). Now let's see how long it takes for the Rams to get tired of Dean Spanos crashing on their couch.

Being a San Diego native I’ve seen a lot of great things and events at that stadium. But one of the strangest things I saw was in (I think) 1984 when I went to a Def Leppard and Blue Oyster Cult concert. And when I was walking around the outside sidewalk to find the gate to go in, I saw Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth walking on the same sidewalk, and they weren’t on the bill. And mind you, they were big stars by then. They were just there to watch the concert. Weird!

I have bad memories of this place unfortunately. I was 14 with my 16 y/o bro, both Colts fans here for a Colts/Chargers game back in '97. We were decked out in Colts gear and just respectively, not annoyingly, cheering our team. The Charger fans were HORRIBLE towards us. I know we were in "enemy territory " and opposition was expected but those fans were throwing spit balls, trash, and half full beer cups at us. Those were "adult" Charger fans and we were JUST KIDS!!! Like why TF are you throwing stuff at a 14 y/o boy!!?? I get it if we were rowdy adults, but no, we were JUST KIDS!!!

Did allot of games there as a slow mo replay guy. Funny thing is we got there six hours before the game and left two hours after. Every stadium I ever worked at I know as a silent stadium without fans in it because I worked in the truck. The only difference is after the game they all were dirty smelled like spilt beer. RIP Marty and may God bless those that are low in the heart with your passing.

Pretty sad when Padres and SDSU can both get stadiums but the chargers couldn't. LA isn't home for them and I'm a niners fan

The guy wearing dodger shirt is exactly why the chargers failed in San Diego and are failing in Los Angeles. Not much loyalty, it was just “cooler” to go for an LA team

My dad told me, when he got to meet Ron Rivera and a tour around the stadium, the lockeroom smelled like straight musty clothes. The first day I was watched a football game here, was the last playoff season in San Diego.
