AZTEC ATHLETICS CENTER
reams have become reality on the campus of San Diego State University. In August of 2001, all facets of the Department of Athletics relocated to the newly constructed Aztec Athletics Center. The construction of the new complex came on the heels of the completion of Tony Gwynn Stadium, Viejas Arena and the SDSU Sports Deck. The athletics center is a four-story, 130,000-square-foot structure located west of Viejas Arena on 55th Street and just south of Peterson Gym. The center truly moves San Diego State athletics into the 21st century. The multi-level structure houses all elements of the Aztec athletic program. Until its completion, the San Diego State athletic department operated out of six buildings on the west side of campus. The Aztec Athletics Center is one of the latest piece of the San Diego State facility upgrade. In August of 2000, the University held its first competitions on the new soccer and track and field facility, located just south of the Aztec Athletics Center site. In the spring of 2005, the San Diego State men’s and women’s tennis squads began play at their new facility, the Aztec Tennis Center, while the softball team opened up its new complex, the SDSU Softball Stadium. A brand new on-campus pool, the Aztec Aquaplex where the swimming and diving and water polo teams compete opened in March 2007. The complex features two pools, one for competition and one for recreation. With the completion of its building plan, the San Diego State athletic complex and facilities rival any university in the western United States.
