Yes, Qualcom started as San Diego Stadium (IIRC) then it was Jack Murphy Stadium then Qualcom.. or the Q as many call it here.
Pretty soon it will be called Empty cause I think the Chargers are going to be out of here.
"Actually it still exists and is the home field of San Diego High School."
Really? I could have sworn they tore it down. I remember going to rock concerts there in the 70's but I thought it was torn down in the late 70's or early 80's.
I haven't been down that way in years so I guess I'll have to take your word for it.
I suppose it competes with the six dollar beers and five dollar hot dogs inside the stadium.

Actually, at McAfee Coliseum (where Oakland Raiders play) they usually have a similar policy--they limit tailgating to a very specific part of the stadium parking lot. That actually works for everyone because 1) it's a lot more fun to have all the tailgaters in one spot and 2) it makes for much easier policing in case of trouble.
Yep. Some of us still call it "The Murph".
