External links[edit]

What the hell is that last external link? I'm a n00b so I don't want to kill it, but seriously? WTF? Ryan Moore 08:27, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it was not relevant, so I deleted it and the other two that also weren't relevant. --Eric Bekins 05:14, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Q under threat from fire?[edit]

The stadium has never been considered under threat from the witch fire, as it is nowhere near any of the two main fires. I'm going to change the passage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.213.132.253 (talk) 19:12, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:12455.jpg[edit]

Image:12455.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Little Q[edit]

Does anyone know the capacity of The Little Q Rugby Field? The C of E (talk) 11:28, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ambiguity in intro[edit]

The last sentence of the intro is a bit ambiguous in its reference to "all three events." The preceding sentences actually refer to five different events: 1) NFL Super Bowl, 2) MLB All-Star Game, 3) NL Division Series, 4) NL Championship Series, and 5) MLB World Series. Looking at the articles of the other two stadiums mentioned (LA Coliseum and the Metrodome), I think it's supposed to refer to 1, 2, and 5, but I'd rather leave it to someone with more sports knowledge to fix this up. Dr Ishmael (talk) 18:24, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Snapdragon Stadium[edit]

As per [1] the Stadium will be known as Snapdragon Stadium for eleven days, starting on Sunday. Obviously we'll need to note the name change in the article, but since it's reverting back to Qualcomm Stadium after those eleven days, is it worthwhile to rename the article? --Kevin W./TalkCFB uniforms/Talk 20:53, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

SDCCU StadiumSan Diego Stadium – SDCCU no longer owns naming rights[1], it’s now known as San Diego Stadium. SportsFan007 (talk) 19:40, 29 January 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. SITH (talk) 13:52, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also SDCCU is WP:Jargon, not widely recognisable, and as a non-standard abbreviation it needs definition on first use, which cannot be done in the title that stands alone from the content. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:32, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. But here’s the thing. I remember it being called Jack Murphy Stadium, The Murph, Qualcomm, and the Q, but I don’t recall anyone ever calling it “San Diego Stadium”. Do you have any recent sources that use that name? As far as I can tell that hasn’t been the name since 1981 when it became The Jack Murphy Stadium. —В²C 06:21, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What he said – I'm a "local", and nobody calls it "San Diego Stadium". Even the local news refers to it as "SDCCU Stadium" currently. --IJBall (contribstalk) 23:15, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I assume you know its history, and are just not considering history versus WP:RECENTISM. Historically, most reliable sources on matters of fact about the construction and history call is “San Diego Stadium”. Yes, then came along symbolic naming for a hero, and then commercial naming for money, with the end effect being that commercial news media, and commercials themselves, using exclusively the commercial sponsor names. But “no one” is an exaggeration. https://soccerstadiumdigest.com/2018/11/san-diego-stadium-vote-set-for-tuesday/ https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Save-San-Diego-Stadium-Group-Wants-City-SDSU-to-Keep-Stadium-505022031.html. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:44, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but the precedent for US stadiums is to use the current name. If and when this stadium is closed and torn down, the article will likely revert to either San Diego Stadium or Jack Murphy Stadium. Right now, though, it's clearly called SDCCU Stadium as evidenced by ticket websites and box scores for every sporting event that has taken place there since the naming agreement went into place. The source for the original naming rights deal also does not specifically state the facility would revert to "San Diego Stadium" at the expiration of the deal. WP:OFFICIALNAME is to avoid using obscure or rarely used "official" names as article titles. which is not the case here. "SDCCU Stadium" is widely used in third-party sources. The only use of WP:OFFICIALNAME is to not title the article "San Diego County Credit Union Stadium" which isn't used at all in secondary sources. Even the two articles you posted in the previous comment have "A local group that advocates for the historical preservation of San Diego landmarks wants to maintain the stadium in Mission Valley currently known as SDCCU Stadium" (emphasis added) and "When San Diego voters head to the polls on Tuesday, they will consider SoccerCity, a proposed development at the SDCUU Stadium site..." (emphasis added). The title of that second article from Soccer Digest, "San Diego Stadium Vote Set for Tuesday", is using 'title case' capitalization, not the "San Diego Stadium" name. With 'sentence case', the title of that article would likely be "San Diego stadium vote set for Tuesday". --JonRidinger (talk) 02:05, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I’m feeling alone here, but if it must be the current sponsor name, it should be unabbreviated, San Diego County Credit Union Stadium. Non standard abbreviations in titles is jargon. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:02, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
В²C, please stop peppering. I was not talking to you. I am trying to not talk to you. I am well aware of what WP:RECOGNIZABILITY says. I contended that it is very easy to be far from SD and still be familiar with SD stadiums. I see no benefit in you trying to string out further discussion about it. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:25, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 24 December 2020[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved to San Diego Stadium. There's a broad consensus for some move, and this one seems to be good enough; it's more or less a coin toss against Jack Murphy Stadium, but recent discussion seems to prefer it as a consensus option.

SDCCU StadiumJack Murphy Stadium – Effective 1 January. With the stadium's pending demolition and the year-end expiration of SDCCU's naming rights, we should follow the precedent set at Astrodome and Colisée de Québec and locate the page at its common name, not its final name. O.N.R. (talk) 00:08, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I did consider that it spent slightly longer as Qualcomm Stadium, but the non-sponsor name seems preferable. O.N.R. (talk) 08:18, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support 9/10 as proposed, Jack Murphy Stadium . Largely on the assumption that the Statue of Jack and Abe are not only preserved, but prominently preserved, as appears the intention.[3]SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:49, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Effective January 1. It was a good idea to open this, to provide the talk thread for input generated by the expiration date. On that date, new information may be generated. I think this discussion should continue at least a week after January 1 in anticipation of announcements and coverage that week. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:34, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest consideration of San Diego Stadium (1967-2020). Unfortunately, Jack Murphy Stadium (1967-2020) would be wrong, and Jack Murphy Stadium (1981-1997) is a subtopic. Moving forward, I think the current title is the worst title, although the last name, it is in time the least significant name.
"(1967-2020)" adds tremendously to recognizability, given that it is no longer (and the shell not much longer). Also, there is a possibility of future confusion between Aztec Stadium and San Diego Stadium. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:59, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No other stadium has been called San Diego Stadium; if we go that route, a hatnote would suffice for Aztec Stadium. O.N.R. (talk) 04:58, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Correct; good point. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:55, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
but San Diego Stadium 8/10 is a very strong contender, pointing particularly to this:

https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sports/aztecs/story/2020-06-03/nfl-san-diego-chargers-stadium-sdsu-new-stadium-coryell-sid-gillman-afl

San Diego Stadium (1967-2020) could become and option if "San Diego Stadium" becomes associated with a new dominant San Diego stadium, which is not currently on the cards, with Aztec Stadium being a poor replacement, and likely to stick with the name "Aztec Stadium". --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:52, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

San Diego Stadium or Jack Murphy Stadium?[edit]

This has become the main point of debate: it seems clear and obvious that one of these two names is the best option, but we haven't yet figured out which one. O.N.R. (talk) 05:35, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like Jack Murphy Stadium gets significantly more use in recent years compared to San Diego Stadium. Here's a zoomed-in version. (This may be biased by references to past events, but the two names were active for around the same amount of time.) O.N.R. (talk) 03:06, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
San Diego Jack Murphy Stadium scores very well considering it is five words versus 3 for the others. -SmokeyJoe (talk) 09:44, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"San Diego Jack Murphy Stadium" would fall afoul of policy, because the common name during that period was quite obviously "Jack Murphy Stadium" alone. (This is why the Astrodome's page is there instead of Houston Astrodome.) O.N.R. (talk) 09:53, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to support this proposal. As per this [5], it is known as San Diego Stadium today, and we can revisit this once it's demolished. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 21:21, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
