The San Diego Chargers are a professional American football team based in San Diego, California. They are currently members of the Western Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). Originally called the Los Angeles Chargers, the club began play in 1960 as a charter member of the American Football League. The club spent its first season in Los Angeles before moving to San Diego. The Chargers start the 1994 season with a bang as Stanley Richard returns an interception 99 yards for a touchdown to give the Chargers a lead on the way to a remarkable, 37-34, come-from-behind win over the Broncos in Denver to open the season. While Playing in the Super Bowl, for the first time, the Chargers faced the San Francisco 49ers in Miami in an all-California game. the Chargers were simply overmatched however as the 49ers pulled away early for a 49-26 victory. At one time, it was hard to tell that Qualcomm Stadium was a multipurpose stadium, but after an expansion in 1997, that changed. After years of having minor league teams playing in San Diego, local sportswriter Jack Murphy began to build up support for a new stadium in the mid 1960’s. If built it would be the home to the San Diego Chargers. San Diego Stadium was the name of the ballpark until 1981 when it was renamed after the late Jack Murphy. With its natural grass field and multicolored seats, "The Murph" as it was known. The most substantial change came when in 1997 when over 10,000 seats were added in behind the outfield for the Super Bowl, bringing the capacity to 67,544. The scoreboard has remained it the same place behind the right-center field seats since the stadium opened. Jack Murphy Stadium was renamed 'Qualcomm Stadium' in 1997.
