For the first time since Nov. 30, 2019, San Diego State football will have fans in the stands for a home game — even though it’s 113 miles away from the last place they had an actual home crowd.
Dignity Health Park in Carson, California will be the site of the Aztecs opening game against the New Mexico State Aggies (0-1) on Saturday, Sept. 4, and can be seen on CBS Sports Network at 7:30 p.m.
It’ll be the first time these teams have faced each other since Sept. 14, 2019. That game in Albuquerque featured a fierce rushing attack from the Aztecs with then-sophomore running backs Jordan Byrd and Chance Bell combining for 39 carries for 234 yards — six yards per carry — and three touchdowns as the Scarlet and Black walked away with a 31-10 victory.
