Snapdragon Stadium, Modern stadium in Mission Valley, San Diego, US.
Snapdragon Stadium is an American football and soccer venue in Mission Valley with 35,000 seats and a natural grass field of Latitude 36 Bermuda variety. The seating bowl is divided into multiple tiers, including premium areas with added amenities for season ticket holders.
Ground was broken on August 17, 2020, and the stadium opened on August 19, 2022, built next to the demolished San Diego Stadium, home of Aztecs football from 1967 until its 2020–2021 demolition. San Diego State bought the 135-acre site from the city for $88 million in 2020. A $15 million gift from Dianne L. Bashor in December 2019 named the playing surface Bashor Field.
The stadium bears the trademarked name of a San Diego-based technology company, reflecting the city's close ties between sports and the local tech industry. Visitors regularly experience home games for three professional teams here, bringing together diverse fan communities from across the region.
The stadium sits at SDSU Mission Valley, west of the main campus, and is reached via the San Diego Trolley at SDSU Transit Center. The site lies next to the former San Diego Stadium location, with parking lots around the bowl. Arrive early on game days to avoid crowding at the transit stop and entrances.
The playing surface is named Bashor Field after a $15 million gift from philanthropist Dianne L. Bashor, announced on December 5, 2019. The stadium was designed so it can be expanded from 35,000 to 55,000 seats, and plans and renderings for that expansion exist.
