SAN DIEGO – A feed displaying the progress of the ongoing construction of Aztec Stadium in Mission Valley is now available for the public to view. The feed will feature still images that will be updated every 15 minutes.
Aztec Stadium, who will open in September of 2022, is designed to meet the needs of the entire San Diego community. This year-round entertainment destination and serves as a hub of community engagement and Aztec pride.
The multi-use stadium, estimated to cost $310 million, will be funded through philanthropic gifts as well as system-wide revenue bonds that will be paid back with revenue generated by the facility including ticket revenue, naming rights and concessions. The bond issuances can be timed appropriately based on market conditions moving forward. Operating costs will also be supported by revenue generated by the facility (e.g., ticket revenue, facilities rental revenue, naming rights, sponsorships, donations).
Aztec Stadium will be located in the northwest corner of the new San Diego State Mission Valley campus, which allows SDSU to continue to use the existing SDCCU Stadium while construction of the new multi-use stadium is completed. The new facility is being designed to meet a LEED Gold standard.
The project is part of the larger SDSU Mission Valley Campus Master Plan which was approved by the Board of Trustees in January. SDSU Mission Valley will provide SDSU with the space to grow enrollment, expand research and innovation programs, and add much needed housing for students, faculty, staff, and the general community, including affordable housing. Finally, the plan creates a long-awaited regional community River Park.
