''The San Diego Normal School and the San Diego Junior College were originally two institutions. In 1921, the two agreed to merge into San Diego State College, settling on school colors of blue, gold and white. SDSC played its first football game later that year. A small but heated scandal broke out when the school's colors were changed to purple and gold for the 1922-23 academic year. These colors were already in use by another college and a high school. After some trouble, San Diego State decided to put the issue to a vote. The college gave students a choice between scarlet and black colors or the previous ones. The former won out, and this color scheme has been part of the Aztecs ever since. Don Coryell became the Aztecs' coach in 1961, and his influence over the course of a career spanning 12 seasons had a huge impact. Coryell led the team to 104 wins that included three undefeated seasons. Grab your tickets to see this legendary team in action at StubHub.'

The San Diego State Aztecs do a lot of traveling to face their storied rivals. However, they play their home games at the SDCCU Stadium. This venue can seat about 54,000 Aztec fans for home games. It also functions as a center for other events in the area. It opened in 1967 as simply the San Diego Stadium. The SDCCU Stadium has the honor of hosting football's
Holiday Bowl
each year.

Although San Diego State has clashed with several other college teams in the past, perhaps the most longstanding rivalry exists between the Aztecs and the
Bulldogs
. The Battle for the Oil Can between the two teams dates back nearly a century. The Aztecs won the first bout in 1923, and the two teams have faced each other on the field 51 more times since then. The 1962 match was one of the most memorable, and it became known as The Fog Bowl. During the game, the fog was so thick that the radio announcer could not see what plays the teams were running.
