It made more sense to locate it on the concourse level so the players wouldn't have to go up 40' worth of stairs every day to get to the practice fields. Imagine if Philip Rivers broke his leg accidently running up a flight of stairs to get to practice? Trying to get 100 players up and down elevators every day wasn't a practical solution either. The main reason the Murphy Center wasn't built in the North End Zone was that there wasn't enough time to demolish the old Finley Fieldhouse and build the new Murphy Center there between seasons. Hope this clears up some of the mystery.
