New San Diego State expansion proposal includes plans for an on-campus football stadium

School President Elliot Hirshman envisions a campus expansion in Mission Valley.

Over the past few months as news poured in of the San Diego Chargers imminent move to Los Angeles, discussion began on the future of the Qualcomm Stadium site with much of it focused on using that land vacated by the Chargers toward an SDSU campus expansion effort that would also include a smaller football stadium for the university team.

The Aztecs have for a long time struggled to build any sort of home field advantage at the enormous 70,000 plus Qualcomm Stadium, and a reduction in seating in theory will help create a game day atmosphere worthy of the on field product San Diego State has produced in recent years.
