in 1959 they were playing at 'westgate park' in mission valley.
ReplyDeleteThe Dallas Texans were relocated to Kansas City and became the Chiefs in 1963 after Lamar Hunt decided that Dallas wasn't big enough for two football teams. The Chargers will open the season this year playing the Chiefs in Kansas City.
ReplyDeleteI was at that game, too. The Texans won the AFL title that year behind Lenny Dawson and Abner Haynes. We did defeated them 32-28 in this game, though.
