SAN DIEGO -- The Aztec football home opener against Stony Brook is set for 7 p.m. PT Thursday, and San Diego State athletics wants to make sure fans are prepared for their fourth year of Snapdragon Stadium. Check out the list below for updated gameday experiences and procedures, including construction, which will impact both the Orange & Purple parking lots.
More details and updates will be posted throughout the season on GoAztecs.com.
Construction to Alter Traffic Flow and Pedestrian Access
San Diego State has begun construction of Avalon Mission Valley, the SDSU Mission Valley development project. As a result, the Purple and Orange Lots east of Snapdragon Stadium will be impacted during all six Aztec football home games this season. Temporary protected sidewalks will guide you safely in and out of the Orange & Purple lots. Designated pathways will be available at the following locations: North of Jacaranda and Sycamore - through the Purple Lot; From the Orange Lot directly to the stadium on the south side of the construction site; Sidewalk access on the south side of the construction site; Barriers will separate pedestrians and vehicles for safety. Additionally, Jacaranda Street will be closed, affecting both inbound and outbound traffic to the Orange & Purple lots. Fans are encouraged to allow extra time when arriving and exiting.

A new tradition is coming to Aztec football gameday. At the conclusion of the third quarter, the Danger Zone will start. As head coach Sean Lewis recently described it at a press conference, “The Danger Zone comes from thinking from the staff, how do we do something that is unique and ties the community and fanbase into the importance of the fourth quarter. All through summer conditioning, we’ve had certain phases on certain days where it has been the Danger Zone area or Danger Zone quarter that we want to win. It’s one of our goals as a program, that we are going to win the Danger Zone. We need the community and everyone at Snapdragon Stadium to help us with that. (Our goal) is to have everyone on The Mesa and everyone down in Mission Valley to know that it’s the fourth quarter and it’s the Danger Zone, and the Aztecs are going to win it.”

Fans can mingle with the San Diego State spirit squads, including cheerleaders, dance team and band, before watching the Aztecs get ready to do battle inside the stadium.
