- The Murph, The Q - the stadium has been home to great teams and great memories over its 50+ year history. It was home field for the San Diego Padres from their founding year in 1969 through the 2003 season when they moved to Petco Park. The San Diego Chargers played there from their first season in 1967 through their move to Los Angeles after the 2016 season. The stadium has also hosted three Super Bowls, two MLB All-Star Games, and countless concerts and other events.
It was the setting for the biggest sports events and concerts to hit San Diego over the course of fifty plus years. Whether you know it as San Diego Stadium, the Murph, or SDCCU, you knew it was the place to be. The Chargers and Padres called it home. It hosted three Super Bowls, a World Series, and two MLB All Star games. It also played host to the biggest and baddest musical acts around. As three San Diego Chargers toured their new facility in 1966, they could only imagine what was to come. Sure it was a structure that had its flaws, but the memories San Diegans collectively share of time spent there, is what’s important. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and look at its most magical and memorable moments.
96, 97, 98 Padres seasons Were some of the greatest times for us..! Wonderful times!
Dude from Boston - huge Red Sox fan. But lived in Oceanside from 97 to 2000 and I was there for the 98 run and though I had no alliance to the Padres I had alot of fun watching that year. I hooked up with my san Diego girlfriend for the first time during game 3 of the World Series. Anyways I'm back in Boston since 2000 and have become a Padres fan. Between Orsillo and Xander and my buddy has a friend that is a bench coach for the Padres I have morphed into a Padre fan. But yeah the fall of 98 I was 25 and it was the best days of my life
I was in the gaslamp the night before the 98 Super Bowl - good times !!
Early eighties $1 bleacher seats for the Padres. Who remembers “#11 Enzo Herrrrnaaannndez”? I grew up in Escondido and every trip to San Diego we got to drive by the stadium . But my best memory was when I was playing college football and in 1978 we played the Aztecs. Field was dirt painted green. Not what I imagined.
RIP Jr Seau !!
I arrived in San Diego in 1968. I thoroughly enjoyed this walk down memory lane. Thank you CBS.
I was born in the hospital next to the stadium the Chargers started in - "The Washington football team, which had a different name back then...." Leave it to a CBS to p*ss out telling the story. I can't even listen to the history of my home town without the WOKE agenda deleting the facts. KMA ! I quit watching this sorry excuse for a "Throwback Special" - who produced this POS ? (I understand they didn't even include the KGB Chicken in this story)
Wished they had continued to renovate the arena and then the Chargers would have stayed in SD
Impossible. It would’ve cost more money than just building a new stadium from scratch.
@@BrandonWS324 if that’s the case then they should have build a fresh new arena in downtown or the suburbs area
No, they wouldn't have. They were making arrangements to go to LA 5 years before they left.
It hosted two World Series, and an All Star Game
I watched Jack Murphy Stadium being built from my neighborhood above it.

Blasphemy !! The (KGB) Chicken owned that stadium for years.
0:41, the Q hosted 2 World Series, not 1. 1984 and 1998

Can someone convince Metallica and Guns N Roses to release the whole video from their coheadlining show?
