  • Take an innocent peek around the old San Diego Chargers Headquarters, facilities, and practice field in San Diego, CA sitting abandoned and vacant for the last year.
    The NFL's Chargers now play in Los Angeles at the Stubhub Center so this practice facility and headquarters has been sitting unused and abandoned for about a year now.
    There are plans for it, so for now the lights are on and the sprinklers are still working, but much of the Chargers branding has been stripped away when the team relocated to Los Angeles. Now it's just the ghosts of football past playing on the overgrown practice field!
    This is the field where the San Diego Chargers and all time NFL greats practiced including LaDanian Tomlinson, Junior Seau, Philip Rivers, Drew Brees, Joey Bosa, Antonio Gates and more. Lots of NFL legends and Hall Of Famers called this place home, just down the street from Jack Murphy Stadium aka Qualcomm Stadium aka SDCCDHSLDGHEI Stadium!
    This was a once in a lifetime urban exploration experience! Not too many NFL properties end up abandoned and creepy! Come check out the Abandoned San Diego Chargers NFL Headquarters and practice facility!

    The grass area was the main practice field. The turf area was for athletes recovering form injury. The double doors closest to the grass area was the entrance to the locker room and training rooms. The double doors closer to the turf area go to the weight room. Down the hallway to the left of the main lobby are the classrooms.
    I was able to take several tours many years ago and got a really good lay of the land. So much so that I could have given a tour.
    I enjoyed your vid. Thanks for the memories.

Like a dream.

Literally the greatest stadium in the world is being constructed and will be complete by summer 2020. This stadium will host the olympics, World Cup matches, and all kinds of other incredible events.
      Now tell me on what planet would it have been better to forego all of that for the team to remain in St. Louis where the attendance was THE WORST in the NFL.
