San Diego Stadium had a capacity of around 50,000 the three-tier grandstand was in the shape of a horseshoe, with the east end low (consisting of only one tier, partially topped by a large scoreboard). The Chargers (then a member of the American Football League) played the first game ever at the stadium on August 20, 1967. Despite the theoretical improvements of this style, most of the seats were still very far away from the action on the field, especially during baseball games. The stadium was the first of the square-circle ' octorad' style, which was thought to be an improvement over the other multi-purpose stadiums of the time for hosting both football and baseball (the second and last of this style was the since-imploded Veterans Stadium). When completed, the facility was named San Diego Stadium. Construction on the stadium began one month later. In November 1965, a $27 million bond was passed allowing construction to begin on a stadium, which was designed in the Brutalist style. In the early 1960s, local sportswriter Jack Murphy, the brother of New York Mets broadcaster Bob Murphy, began to build up support for a multi-purpose stadium for San Diego. The stadium was served by the Stadium station of the San Diego Trolley, accessible via the Green Line running toward Downtown San Diego to the west, and Santee to the east. The neighborhood surrounding the stadium is known as Mission Valley, in reference to the Mission San Diego de Alcalá, which is located to the east, and its placement in the valley of the San Diego River. The stadium was located immediately northwest of the interchange of Interstates 8 and 15. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis and Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles.
