SDSU Aztecs and Bowl Games
What are the stadium needs of SDSU Aztec football?
Without Qualcomm or a replacement stadium, San Diego State University would not have an adequate facility to meet Division I-A criteria, which requires a home stadium that seats a minimum of 30,000, and would not be able to field a Division I-A team. Without Division I-A football, San Diego State University cannot be a member of the Mountain West Conference or even the old Western Athletic Conference.
What would happen if Qualcomm was not replaced?
This would cause SDSU to drop its football program and eliminate 85 athletic scholarships for football players, which would require an equivalent loss of female athletic scholarships, causing up to six women’s sports programs to be eliminated. Losing Division 1-A status would also have a dramatic negative impact on the school’s basketball and baseball programs, among others.
How is the stadium currently used for Aztec games?
SDSU plays an average of six home games a year in Qualcomm Stadium. The football games at Qualcomm Stadium are the primary venue for the university to provide hospitality and entertainment for alumni, donors, boosters and corporate sponsors. The football games provide a setting for students, alumni, faculty and staff to gather in mutual support of the University. The Aztec Athletic Ticket Office for all events is also housed at Qualcomm Stadium.
