SAN DIEGO – San Diego State University Athletics in conjunction with the University and Viejas Arena, have announced protocols to enter Viejas Arena for all 2021-22 men's and women's basketball games.
All guests aged 2 and over are required to present either proof of full COVID-19 vaccination (two weeks since the final dose) or a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of the event date. Viejas Arena has contracted with Bindle to streamline the process for meeting these requirements.

Entering Viejas Arena
Viejas Arena follows all current California Department of Public Health Guidelines, San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency, and San Diego State University Guidelines for "Indoor Mega Events." As such, three ways to enter Viejas Arena have been established starting with the women's exhibition game on Nov. 1.
- San Diego State University staff, faculty and students can use HealtheConnect, through Student Health Services, to gain access to Viejas Arena for men's and women's basketball games. Attendees in this group will need to show a picture ID and display their HealtheConnect medallion to confirm their vaccination status or negative test within 72 hours prior to the event.
Patrons who are not members of the university staff, faculty or student body can gain access to Viejas Arena in one of two ways.
