The last standing part of old San Diego Stadium, once home of the football Chargers and baseball Padres, is about to fall. Meanwhile, San Diego State University’s new Mission Valley campus has begun to rise!
I took photos this morning from the west side of the now vanished stadium parking lot that show the final section of stands being demolished. In the foreground, you can see the grading and initial construction work that will ultimately result in SDSU Mission Valley!
I posted photographs of earlier stages of the stadium’s demolition that were taken from its east side here.

Wow. I taught on the SDSU campus from 1984 until 2014. One of my life’s longest continuous relationships. I don’t miss it, but I loved it most of those years. This is a major deal.

This expansion into Mission Valley is going to make an area known primarily for shopping malls much more vibrant, bringing a lot of new energy!

Is going to be much worse! Good thing they added more lanes at Friars Road and Highway 163.

We just drove by the stadium a couple days ago and was shocked at the wreckage that it is now! So many memories going to the stadium in the past…

Lots and lots of memories. I remember as a young man going to Padres doubleheader games and having a great time at Jack Murphy Stadium for most of the day!
