Fans can now take home a piece of San Diego Stadium — The Murph, The Q, SDCCU Stadium… whatever you like to call it — in the form of a pair of blue stadium seats

Maybe you remember arriving early to a sea of empty blue seats to watch the San Diego Padres’ batting practice. Maybe you recall fumbling to lower that seat with hands full of hot dogs, beer and nachos while cheering on the (then) San Diego Chargers. Maybe you were one of the fans lucky enough to catch a Super Bowl or a World Series from one of those seats.

Before the stadium in Mission Valley, originally called San Diego Stadium, is gone for good, local sports fans have a chance to take home those memories — in the form of a pair of stadium seats.

SDSU, the now-owners of the 135 acres of land that the stadium sits on, are selling off the navy blue seats to fans starting on Dec. 1 through Nov. 30 (presale is available now for those with a specific code.) The seats will be sold in pairs for $299, and fans are limited to two purchases. The seats must be picked up at the stadium in mid-December.

“We wanted a price that we thought would be fair and would encourage the most people possible in San Diego to be able to afford to purchase them,” said Aztec Stadium General Manager Adam Millar.

SDCCU Stadium (The Murph, The Q, SDCCU Stadium… whatever you like to call it) is slowly being torn apart to be transformed into a Mission Valley campus for SDSU — complete with housing, retail, parkland, and, of course, it’s own stadium.
