Qualcomm Stadium

We can really use a new stadium. Had lots of great momentshere. If we can get a new stadium there would be lots more. Best tailgate parties in the south west. Go Bolts

Qualcomm… Even thought this stadium is extremely old and run down its going to be forever the spot. Been here more than once in my lifetime and i can say that thanks to qualcomm i have made many many great memories during my visits here. Although my precious chargers do need a new stadium really really bad it is one of the oldest in the NFL.
San Diego… PLEASE give my chargers hope and PLEASE KEEP THE CHARGERS HOME AND GIVE US A NEW STADIUM DAMMIT!!!

came for beyonce concert and she was amazing.
this venue, not so much. why, oh why, do you not serve beer from any of the local microbreweries and only sell pee water (aka coors/​bud light) !!! tsk tsk tsk.

Outdated stadium! One of the most unimpressive NFL stadiums I’ve been to. The only good thing about it is the location and the trolley services. $ 6 for a round trip. We’ve always parked at Hazard Center, for free I might add, and just catch the trolley to the stadium. You do have to park on the lower level or underground level, top level is for people shopping at the center.
The staff is good at directing you to your seats for a football game, but I can’t say the same for concerts! I attended the Beyonce concert and we kept being directed in the wrong direction. They had lots of yellow jacketed staff but most of them did not know what to do. So frustrating!
Anyway, this stadium is in need of a serious renovation. Have they seen other NFL stadiums around the country? I have! Location is great, but the stadium itself feels old with no charm what so ever.

Parking lot nightmare!!! No wonder the attendance for football games is low. We’ve been here for 2 hours!!!

I feel like this place is completely a waste of space. I have never been to a chargers game and I’m from San Diego. All I can say is that they never won a game. so what’s the point of wasting my money? I came in for a Beyoncé concert my first time ever stepping foot In the stadium, and must I say it’s a complete mess. It’s impossible to park, it’s impossible to get out and forget about the seating it’s horrible. You’re rubbing hips with your neighbor it’s so bad it’s completely claustrophobic. I personally do not enjoy it and parking is extremely expensive for a massive parking lot it just doesn’t make any sense. I can only imagine what will happen if they move over to downtown! They’re probably gonna charge you $ 50 for parking instead of $ 20. Lol forget this place. Forget the Chargers freaking waste of space. (Go ahead and hate on me I don’t care I hate football) ;)

This is a horrible stadium for a concert. I am handicap and they sat me in the plaza area where I have a beam and other concert goers standing up disrupting my view. Normally that wouldn’t be a problem for other people, but I wear AFO’s on both my legs and I can’t stand or balance for a long time because of a back surgery I had a year ago. So here I am trying to watch the concert but can’t cause of a beam and people standing in front of me. I can’t even see the big screen for the concert because of the obstruction from the stupid beam in the plaza area. This is horrible especially for the money I spent for the concert. I am highly disappointed with Qualcomm stadium for this. I can’t enjoy any part of the concert. Qualcomm is not handicap friendly. This was suppose to be a fun night, but it’s not. Highly disappointed!!!

I don’t understand this. One of the best cities in the United States has Petco Park, the Convention Center, a lot of other beautiful spots… and then there’s Qualcomm Stadium.
Came here for a Poinsettia Bowl and was really disappointed. It’s like visiting the ancient Roman ruins or something. It seems there’s always a line for the restroom. The stadium needs to be updated big time. The parking lot is a mess. This city would benefit by having a new football stadium. Tons of money would come in from tourists who would want to enjoy this great weather and maybe see their team take on the Chargers. If SD got a state of the art stadium, surrounded by palm trees with 362 sunny days… I would definitely watch my Patriots if they ever came into town.

The stadium gets a bad rep, because quite honestly it looks like a monstrosity.
However some advantages:
— easy in easy out, it’s spacious
— there is place to store strollers and what not so if your taking a little one to the game you can use your stroller.
— Many happy memories here, most notably v Dolphins
Bad:
— we are modern day, don’t expect any reception in side, no wifi connect not even 3G. Pretty poor for a stadium in modern society, simple upgrades would fix it.

I came here for the Broncos vs Chargers game in December. My boyfriend got some pretty great seats under the shade on the club level. The hot dogs were ok, overpriced per usual. No lines to the women’s restroom, that’s a plus. I was surprised to see a line for the men’s, that’s a first!
We took someone’s advice and parked our car two stations EAST of the stadium. This is to avoid all the heavy traffic leaving the stadium at the end of the game. They are VERY strict on the small purse policy. I had to walk all the way back to my car, two stations over, to put my purse back. Live and learn.

My experience here is always 5 stars (Go Chargers!), but the stadium itself isn’t the nicest or the fanciest one around (*cough* Petco Park *cough*). It’s an oldie, but a goodie. I’ve been here twice for Chargers games and I’ve had a great experience.
As with most stadiums, beer and food is overpriced and most places are cash only. There’s a wide variety of food outside of your typical burgers and hot dogs.
Security is strict (ladies, bring your clear bags or a only a wallet, you’ll be forced to turn around and put your clutches/​crossbody bags back in your car) and the entrance method is a hassle, but the experience makes up for it.

I came here yesterday to watch a Soccer game. I had only been here once in the 80s.
The lack of concessions being open and variety of food and drink left a lot to be desired. The ones that were open ran out of many things, with no written notice. As we got closer to the head of the line, employees would yell what they were out of, or what they had left. Some people waited in line for nothing by the time they got to the counter.
There were old tube tvs hanging on the wall. One even looked like it was about to fall off.
One bathroom I used had paper in one of their dispensers for drying your hands.
Last but not least, the parking lot. It took over 30 minutes to get out of the parking lot. They need more points of entry and exit.

Seriously ridiculous entrance method. Incompetent. No urgency.
Free for all on line.

Qualcomm Stadium is a decent venue as it is an oldie, and a goodie!
I have memories of Coca Cola Family night for Padres games at Jack Murphy Stadium when I was a kid.
But now this football stadium is not up to par, with newer SPORTS VENUES across the board. and like local baseball venue Petco Park and other NFL teams with newer and modern stadiums. Qualcomm Stadium is very outdated now.
This being the only highlight for local sports, the Q is the spot to go to to support our SD sports teams. :)
PROS: Chargers and Aztecs football, Holiday Bowl and Poinsettia Bowl, CIF high school football, trolley stop access, big parking lot for tailgating fun, variety of craft beer options and food, decent views
CONS: old and outdated, long trolley wait times, typical overpriced stadium prices for food and drinks

Who cares that there are still old school tube TVs and escalators that don’t work… Overpriced food and drink and seating that’s needed replacing for years…
Qualcomm Stadium or the Murph is San Diego. Win lose or draw, this is where fans came to spend time with friends and family to enjoy and relax.
If today was the Chargers Final home game, so be it. I’m just glad the Chargers won and went out with a bang!
I’ll be a San Diego Chargers Fan for life. They can take the team out of town but they won’t be able to take all the memories and emotions that people have gained through the years.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder… This stadium though old will always be the best looking and classic stadium.
Thanks for being that place for me, my family and friends to enjoy Padres and Chargers Games!

My experience here gets 5 stars… this review is solely for stadium.
Really a 3.5 but only because it’s old as hell but either way it has everything you really need for a football stadium.
Parking is easy, vendors were close and so were the bathrooms.
The only thing that sucked was the huge line to get in but eventually they figured it out.
All in all, old as hell but it will be a great time for a football game and tailgating (Go Browns).

Free handicapped parking and very pleasant staff. Those were the positives.
This stadium is decrepit. The walkways are uneven and falling apart in some areas. My husband got a big gash in his arm when he brushed it against the side of a wall that was falling apart. It really is in very poor shape.
And the food was, as is commonly found in stadiums, terribly overpriced (16 oz bottle of water was $ 5) but I have found really good food at other stadiums. I did not find good food at this stadium. After quite a bit of effort I was able to find the stand that sells Garden burgers, only to find out that they did not have any. I was told by several of the concession staff that they had run out of supplies and we’re not ordering anything since it’s the «end of the season». Are they unaware that there’s a whole month more of football, not to mention other events that are going to be held at the stadium. Not sure what’s going on but it was not a good experience, cuisine-​wise. I would have to assume that the food trucks parked in the perimeter would be a better option.

It is definitely a worn down stadium. The stadium needs to be renovated to compete with all the new modern stadiums. I came here for the Chiefs game this year. GO CHIEFS! One big tip I can give you guys is to make sure to come here via train, don’t bother driving in here. You’ll be stuck for hours! At least the train isn’t as bad unless you leave right away when everyone else does.

I headed into Qualcomm Stadium on Monday, November 9^th for maybe the last time. The Chargers were getting beat by the Bears and as I looked around at the uncomfortable seats, small filthy bathrooms, and lackluster food options, I realized that the real letdown wasn’t the game as much as it was this dilapidated sporting venue.
The worst stadium in the NFL and most likely in the NCAA as well. An eye sore and an embarrassment for the city.
I’m a local and a supporter for life, but you need to spend money to make money as they say. If we aren’t capable or willing to it’s time to make the old Murph like the Kingdome, and blow this sucker with an F up.

I attended the Kansas City Chiefs and San Diego Chargers game on 11/​22, my recommendation is to take a Taxi to the stadium as it was a breeze to get into the game and out of the game. The taxi dropped us off right in front of the doors and we walked into the game.
The crowd was very nice and there wasn’t any problems that I noticed the security and San Diego Police Department do a really goof job in making sure unruly fans are removed before a problem escalates.
The seating we had which was plaza side section 36 row 14 was a really good value for the price we paid for our ticket and the stadium was very clean.
I didn’t experience any issues while at the game to rate this any different, I do not have a parking rating as I said we took a cab so we didn’t have to fight the traffic after the game, we just let him deal with it.

I am a not a football fan. My idea of fun is not sitting on a metal bleacher with drunk idiots sitting around me screaming super loud in my ear, elbowing my boobs «on accident», spilling beer all over me, exclaiming how awesome that cheerleaders rack is. Yes, I would rather go shopping than sit at a effin overpacked stadium with the sun hitting me. I would rather read a book than try to tag down a taxi after the game and every single one of them refuses to let you ride because they want more money and you aren’t going far enough. However, I knew when beginning to date my guy that football is a huge part of his life. He is an avid Chiefs fan and I knew not going to a single football game wouldn’t be an option.
This was my second time at Qualcomm stadium watching Chargers VS Chiefs. Even though I hate football and I am half near deaf as I write this from crazed fans hollering in my ear non stop and my chest is a nice tint of red from the sun burning my sensitive skin for 4 straight hours and I have bruises on my arms from constantly being elbowed; even with all that I still had fun. It’s still a fun event no doubt about it; and considering I haven’t been to any other stadiums I really have nothing to compare it to, however it was clean, there was a lot of security patrolling during the game, music was on point, the Charger girls were hot. I think I had my full undivided attention on the cheerleaders than the game happening, but like I said I’d rather do anything else in the world than watch football.
I must say, the atmosphere and the positive energy of all the fans rooting for their team is an amazing indescribable feeling I felt. Seeing my guy shout loud as heck and high 5 folks he never met because his good ol Chiefs got a touch down had me smiling and though I don’t get his love for football I am happy he got to come to Qualcomm and vibe with other Chiefs fans and watch the Chiefs WHOOP the Chargers hineys. ³³⁄₃ baby!!!

The stadium is aged and needs remodeling. I’ve been to many stadiums and this one is definitely a stadium that’s stuck in the past with the green shag carpet and oil lamps. The restrooms need an overhaul, the jumbo tron reminds me of the old school UHF/​VHF televisions from the 80s, the food is below par and San Diegos own fans even agree!
The stadium needs more porter potties for the tail gaiters (we didn’t tailgate) as we saw people urinating between cars due to the long lines to wait to use the restroom.
We always come back when our team plays so as long as we get that W I’m good

The local teams woes aside, this place sucks.
Traffic in and out is worse then ever!!! Real real bad.
The lack of policing the grounds/​parking area is evident. Far to many morons take up multiple spaces, limiting parking, even an hour before kickoff.
Concessions are slow and pricey and staff is inadequate.
$ 25 to park. lol
The BOOMING of «supposed» music during the game is atrocious. You cannot even hold a conversation during the game. This piping in of noise (versus just the crowd noise) is whacked. I think they do it to drown out the many opposing fans, but it is such a joke. And the speaker system that blares this music, is as old as this 1968 stadium. Reco: Eliminate this tacky garbage noise, NOW!
Win, lose or draw, its time to get this scrap this place. Start with the blared music.
:)

Went to watch the Raider Game Vs. Chargers.
I hated the fact that they come off a whole section and there is only one exit to get off on.
There is very little parking. And all the areas around the stadium say «will tow» so it’s ridiculous.
The inside of the stadium isn’t bad, it’s relatively clean.
The higher sections aren’t bad either. My biggest complaint about it overall is the parking. The place Isn’t bad.

As the closest team to LA and yes I love my Chargers second to my Packers but still loyal to a great team with lots of potential but for some reason the owner of the Chargers and the city of San Diego, hint hint fail to realize that this city is in desperate need to provide their team a new Stadium. Come on guys this stadium has seen better days and although still a great place to enjoy a great game yes this team deserves a new stadium, unless of course they want to let them go to LA, I mean come on guys if you can build the Padres an amazing stadium yet they have not made it to the playoffs recently than I think you can provide your football team a new stadium.
Yes it’s old, the bathrooms in desperate need of renovations and we’ll come in its old. Yes I enjoy a game here but yes please build this team a new stadium.

This stadium sucks!!! Was it built in the 60’s??? Seriously… get these sorry fuqs a new stadium.

The stadium needs a much needed upgrade. Make sure not to miss any of the game, watching a replay on the «jumbotron» was horrible. I understand they are trying to relocate and get another stadium but I felt like I was watching an old TV from the 90’s. I really don’t see you having a bad seat in that stadium though. Our seats were pretty great.
Oh and the parking lot after a game doesn’t move. Maybe they couldn’t handle the overflow of Steelers fans but we didn’t move for 45 minutes. Ridiculous.
THREE stars cause my Steelers won and it was a GREAT game.

I came here for the season opener this past Sunday! Watching the Chargers defeat the Lions was simply amazing! Go bolts!
Okay, now as far as the stadium parking lot goes…
A bunch of my friends tailgated to celebrate a buddy’s 30^th birthday. There were about 26 of us I believe. It was a blast although there were a few cons.
First, there were too many people coming around asking for donations! Don’t get me wrong I donated to a pop warner football team, to a cheerleading squad and bought some stuff a man was selling but it was just constant. It’s hard for me to say no so I just kept giving.
Another con were people coming around for recyclables. I mean I know times are tough these days but at least wait until we’re done partying before going through our trash bags. I already separated them anyway-​I was going to leave them for grabs but…
And lastly the bathrooms in the actual stadium, I definitely understand it is tough to keep them clean but if there were a couple attendants working the restrooms that would help.
Overall I love this place. Gonna miss coming here!

The Jack Murphy Stadium (I’ll call it that because I’ve lived in SD for over 40 yrs) has been a beacon of popular SD pro sports and events for so many years.
It has been improved, retrofitted, updated (as much as possible) and it has served it’s purpose dutifully.
I’ve seen it provide 50k people, now over 70k people a place to watch their favorite teams compete at the highest levels.
But alas, it’s seen it’s finer days. The Murph is showing it’s age, other stadiums are outclassing it by larger margins, parking is a nightmare, the Plaza hallways smell like bum piss and history/​geography is all what’s keeping this stadium popular.
I’ve had great memories coming here with my friends and family over the years.
I’m sure you’ll create new ones at the Q.

Quick Tip: Take the train to the stadium to save money on parking and have a headache free commute. ($ 25 for parking at stadium vs $ 2.50 one way on train or $ 6 for day pass).
My husband and I came to the Qualcomm Stadium for the 1^st time last Saturday for the preseason game: San Diego Chargers vs Seatle Seahawks (8÷29÷15). Now if you are new to this stadium, I HIGHLY recommend reading the rules regarding what you can and cannot bring into the stadium, including the bag regulations.
But just to give you a brief overview, small tiny bags (clutch style bag) are allowed or you can bring in your items in a see through bag. Clear/​see through bags include a ziplock gallon bag to store your snacks (you are able to bring in up to 2 sealed bottled waters that 17 oz each per person). Do you remember earthquake kits that you would bring at the beginning of the school year that is stuffed with prepackages nonperishable snacks? Well that is pretty much what it reminded me of when I was packing my little bag of snacks and seeing others walking around with when entering the stadium.
However, I did read in previous Unilocaler reviews that many ladies still were turned away to bring in their small bags. And I was a little confused as I saw some women inside the stadium with some bags that were clearly larger than a tiny bag size and not exactly sure how they were able to bring them in. But I packed my essentials in a clear plastic bag that I had without any problems even though it was slightly larger than the dimension size regulations on the Charger’s website. I also saw a guy with a completely see through/​clear backpack that was able to get into the stadium. So if you have a completely see through bag (or one of those zip lock gallon bags), you shouldn’t have any problem getting through security check.
Anyways, aside from the challenges of the security check, my husband and I enjoyed ourselves. We sat in section 59, row 4, seats 8 and 9, which were excellent seats at an amazing view of the field (generally preseason tickets are cheaper than the actual season). The only negative of these seats is that from 5 – 6 pm, the sun was shinning on us. It was just way too sunny for us. So we ended up walking up towards the shade covering and standing for a whole hour until the sun went down to come back and sit in our seats.
Another thing to bring up is that I was pretty surprised that there was no free WiFi available. You would think that a company like Qualcomm would have that.
Although this stadium is quite old/​outdated, we still enjoyed our seats (you are not allowed to bring in seat covers but you can bring in blankets) and the game (the Seahawks won by the way in case you were interested). I would definitely come back here in the future for other events and games (with my earthquake kit and clear bag to hold all of my personal belongings).

Klassisches NFL Stadion. Super Stimmung am Game Day, Hymne und Feuerwerk inklusive.
Jede Menge Imbissstaende, Hot Dog 4,50 $/​Bier 8,50 $.
Grosser Parkplatz, jedoch sind Zu– und Abfahrt mit langen Verkehrsstaus verbunden. Besser parkt man z.B. in Oldtown und faehrt von dort, return 4,50 $, mit dem Trolley. Hier ist der Hinweg ohne grosse Verzoegerung moeglich, nach dem Spiel muss man ca. 20 Minuten einplanen bis man einen Platz in der Bahn bekommt.
