Home
of the San Diego Chargers for more than
three decades, Qualcomm Stadium looks much
different than it did when it opened. In
the early 1960’s sportswriter Jack
Murphy began to build up support for a multipurpose
stadium for the area. When built, the stadium
would become home of the Charges and a MLB
team, which the city hoped to attract. In
November of 1965, a $27 million bond was
passed allowing construction to began on
a stadium. Construction on the stadium began
one month later. When completed, the facility
was named San Diego Stadium. |
