Jack Murphy is where I spent my days in right field cheering Tony and jeering Bonds. I watched countless Aztec games, Holiday Bowls and Raiders v Chargers encounters. I got to see LT set the still standing TD record in his MVP season. I have 35 years of nostaligia in that place AND I STILL THINK IT IS TRASH.
The Murph smells. The sightlines are shit. The luxury boxes are a joke. And had you been to an event there recently you would likely feel the same. Otherwise you would not make such a nonsense statement.
I think Metlife is nicer than Jerry World. But I had season tickets to the inaugural season (so I could have good seats to the chargers game) and all in all, the venue is one of the more comfortable venues in all of pro football.

I know what I said would make some people think I am an idiot. I'm not. I was also never a Cowboys basher until about 10 years ago when I realized Jerry Jones is a crazy man and is ruining the Cowboys and that him and what he is doing ain't going to change. Ever. I was born here. I was the biggest Cowboy's fan in the family.
Okay, don't trade me for JM stadium. LOL. I'll take about any other of the open air stadiums though. I have never been to Jack Murphy stadium. I have heard some media people saying what you you said but figured they were exaggerating. I still think I might like it unless the restrooms had a foul smell and I would probably be worried about the food and what the kitchen areas are like.
I certainly like the finer things in life but I also am a very down to earth person. To me there is nothing better in life (I don't have wife or kids) than sitting out in the middle of nowhere on a 10 million year old rock ledge in places like the Grand Canyon taking in the majestic scenery around me.
If I want nice I will go to museum, a good steak house, sit in my own home or drive to the Rocky Mountains or whatever but when I go to a game I want a game experience, IE. an open air stadium with fresh air and the sun or stars on my back. Watching a competitive team with a loud enthusiastic crowd. Tickets I can afford and not sitting there feeling guilty I paid this much. As long as the bathrooms are clean, the kitchens and food are clean and there isn't smelly garbage around I am good.
If I ever went to that thing Jerry built, that annoying 60 yard long jumbo screen IN MY FACE alone would make for a pretty unenjoyable time. Yuk!
I admit I haven't been to a ton of games like you have but I have seen games at Wrigley Field, the old Yankee Stadium, the Colorado CU stadium where the buffaloes play, many football games at UT Austin and a few TCU home games. I know what I like and that thing Jerry built is the extreme polar opposite of what I like.
Metlife does look way cool when they show an aerial view of it at night. They did it right (except for no grass). You know Jerry, when Dallas plays there and he is in his suite looking at the aerial view on his TV moniter he is thinking, this looks awesome, I know this is what I should have built because this is what the fans want. But no. To Jerry it's all about the money and his ego.
That's cool you have witnessed so many things at Jack Murphy stadium. You have been there so long I bet you have also seen some good concerts there back in the day.
