The collection consists of materials relating to the construction of San Diego Stadium, dating from 1965-67. It includes legal documents, contracts, progress reports, and photographs.

In the early 1960s, local sportswriter Jack Murphy, the brother of New York Mets broadcaster Bob Murphy, began working to build support for a stadium for San Diego. Construction began in December 1965, after a $27 million bond was passed in November of that year to fund the project. When completed, the facility was named San Diego Stadium.
