September 15 - October 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month . Would be great if the SDSU AZTECS could have a game dedicated to honoring the communities at a football game at the Q . Could be a great way to connect the strong Hispanic football fans and the SDSU AZTECS . Yes many love Soccer/ Football but they also really enjoy American Football . It is a very strong growing part of San Diego County and could be a great part of the Aztec family of fans . Their is a natural tie there that should be expanded . SDSU football will not be successful until it goes out into the communities and personally establishes connections , why not start it now ? Believe former Mayoral candidate David Alvarez was a SDSU graduate and there should be other grads that could assist .

With the obvious tie to the hispanic culture, and the massive amount of passionate potential fans, this could be a really great way to build not only the football brand but encourage the university overall.

Just wondering..... when is Anglo Heritage Month??? Yea thats what I thought... Lol Whenever is fine with me personally. Im a latino man, but i wouldnt be against that either. If this was the notre dame fighting irish, i would expect some sort of theme around that would be cool and a given. But seeing as though we are AZTECS and situated in San Diego, this could be a really good thing for the community. Of course, i dont see that it would ever happen of course.

Anything that will draw more people that normally would not be attending a game is the precursor to growing the fan base. Making whomever feel welcome and wanted helps the university.

the Hispanic Communities are a great part of San Diego / Inland Empire . Would be a great opportunity to expand the Aztec fan base , for the SDSU football , something that is needed now . Great to add to the pre game activities , half time , Fiesta Aztecs . There should be numerous Aztec grads that could help welcome future Aztec fans .

What is an Anglo? The term is short for Anglo-Saxon, basically those people of English heritage. Irish, Welsh, Scots, Italian, French, German, Slavic, Chinese, Japanese, etc., need not apply for Anglo Heritage Month.
Of course, California was Hispanic way before it was Anglo. In fact, I don't think California was ever strictly Anglo. And before it was Hispanic it was Native American. There are some people who believe the Native Americans arrived from Asia via what we now call the Aleutian Islands.
In any event, if someone want's an Anglo Heritage Month they are free to petition the state legislature and/or Congress for a proclamation designating some month to celebrate their heritage.

Just wondering..... when is Anglo Heritage Month??? Yea thats what I thought... It's a very hard thing to do,but try -- TRY -- to view a popular TV program,TV movie,or series as a Latino,and then ask yourself why there aren't any like you on the screen? Ask yourself (Remember,you are looking at this through a Latino's eyes and experiences) how it is that the fastest and largest growing minority (two out of three hail from Mexico,mind you) is never prominently featured in a major movie or TV commercial? One can't walk three feet in most large cities in this region of the United States without bumping into a Latino or seeing Spanish or Mexican influence somewhere,yet according to those in Hollywood who make these decisions,we don't exist.We don't.Arte Moreno can own a major league baseball team,and other Mexican-Americans can serve in the halls of power on a city,state,or federal level,yet for the most part,we simply don't exist or get any props,etc.Try that experiment some time. If you don't get it,I can't help you. ...Is a month really taking anything from you or threatening you in any way? Give us our little month,huh?It's just a month.

Saying the Aztecs were Hispanic is like saying the Apache were Anglo-Saxon.

this a great opportunity for SDSU athletic department to reach out to major parts of the community and expand its fan base , establish a connection . Put more SDSU football fans in the stands add additional excitement that the Hispanic fans add . SDSU football will not grow unless it gets more fans from all over the county . Could provide an added boost of enthusiasm . Believe the AD is missing a great opportunity to expand the fan base if they do not reach out and make something happen during this month .
