Qualcomm Stadium

Pros: Tailgating, good views
Cons: Sort of ugly, lean years of late for the home team

I've been to Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego four different times, twice for baseball and twice for football. The stadium itself is satisfactory, but the atmosphere around games is what makes attending a ball game in San Diego a special event that is ...

Pros: Large, Great Fans, Fun Entertainment (& cute too!) *wink*
Cons: Restroom a little messy

"Hi. I'm calling to let you know you won two tickets to next Wednesday's Padres Game in San Diego!" I was told last Thursday.

Okay- Great! I thought. My third official win in this new hobby I enjoy- entering sweepstakes. There was,...

Pros: Friendly atmosphere in old fashioned park, beautiful weather, reasonably priced.
Cons: Exiting parking lot requires patience. Fans do the Wave too often.

If you’re looking for a friendly low-key atmosphere for baseball—with affordable prices, it’s hard to beat Qualcomm stadium. Heck, it’s hard to beat the whole city of San Diego, for that matter. Is there another metropolitan area in the United States...

Pros: Lots of fun, Different activities, Well kept
Cons: traffic jams getting in and out.

I lived in San Diego for almost 20 years. I've seen San Diego Stadium renamed as Jack Murphy Stadium in 1981 (after a local sportswriter who led the city's campaign for a team), the park has commonly been referred to as "The Murph." The park...

Pros: manageable prices for a family outing
Cons: We didn't see a Dodger game

This will be a review on Qualcomm Stadium, but first I need to tell you why I was there to begin with.

My youngest Daughter, (Chalathra) invited me to the May 31, 2000 San Diego Padres game against the Milwaukee Brewers at Qualcomm Stadium....

Pros: Various seating, variety of food
Cons: Traffic congestion, messy restrooms

At San Diego's Qualcomm stadium there is not much
originality or history, but the atmosphere of
San Diego makes the stadium appealing because
of the weather, green grass, and palm trees.
During the summer during baseball season...

Pros: Centrally located
Cons: Paying for parking

What a great place to watch The Padres. Qualcomm Stadium previously Jack Murphy stadium. But, because Qualcomm has all the money, they get to take away the history in our city. The could of left the road's name the same, but Qualcomm took that too....

Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: So So view

When I visited San Diego this summer, my uncle decided to take me to the San Diego Padres game. At first it seemed a little unusual just to get up and go to a baseball game (I'm from Cleveland where our games have been all sold out for the past couple...

Pros: close seating
Cons: multi-purpose stadium

As a former San Diegan, I have visited San Diego Stadium/Jack Murphy Stadium/Qualcomm Stadium more than 100 times.... Years ago, it was a great place to see a baseball game... Seats are close to the field along the lines, the upper deck has great...

Pros: Easy access and centrally located, large enough to accommodate the fans of San Diego!
Cons: It's almost 35 years old and firesgar doesn't think it's pretty anymore.

Sorry that firesgar doesn't like our stadium, but he can go someplace else! I disagree with him completely. Like many other stadiums around the country, Qualcomm does have its good points and bad. The location of the stadium is centrally located in...

Pros: Fun, exciting, spacious, and beautiful
Cons: Zero

Today it is known as Qualcomm stadium but I will always know it to be Jack Murphy stadium. I was born in 1980 when that name came about. I lived in Sand Diego for fourteen years of my life. As long as I can remember as a little kid going to the games...

Pros: Great seat prices
Cons: High priced consessions

The stadium, the stadium. That's the hot topic around San Diego right now. This is supposed to be a review of Qualcomm stadium and I promise it will be but first just let me say that we don't need a new ball park that bad. Before the vote passed to build...

Pros: seat value, fan-friendliness, music
Cons: exterior of the building, somewhat worn down playing field

As I walked up to Jack Murphy for the first time to see a Padres-Cubs game, I felt like I was walking to a medieval castle. The gigantic concrete infrastructure looked intimidating and not-so-pretty, but once inside, the atmosphere drastically changed....

Pros: Very accesible
Cons: Doesn't offer much of a variety

Qualcom Stadium has a few good qualities but I think that there could be some improvments. Getting in and out isn't a problem because they open most of the gates so that the fans can get in and out (how many that are open will vary from event to...

Pros: few rain outs
Cons: multi-purpose field

I have witnessed the evolution of this stadium. I saw my first Padres game in 1976 at San Diego Stadium. This was back in the days when Dave Winfield had to hit the ball into the plaza to get a home run. I sat in the bleachers for $2.00 a game. I saw...
