When was the last time SDSU ever had a good "game day environment"? Aztecs games have been stale for well over 25 years now, even when they started winning there was no excitement/true fun game day experience other then the KGB sky show. *I remember the Fraternities chariot races on the field at halftime and Fight clubs in the Lower stands (entire game) were always fun to watch back in the day. Stop with the cheap cheesy promo giveaways and come up with a better game day experience. Only think I can even think of would be Wazuu 2010 or 2011, and Stanford. Qualcomm was tough to deal with, and the Defense-only Aztec teams post-Lindley drained all excitement out of the program, sans the Penny Pumphrey couple of years. I pray Lewis does better in building an exciting team, while also winning. Snapdragon could easily be a great environment for CFB, especially compared to Qualcomm. I can tell you the bench seats in the end zone at Reese's stadium are trouble all the seats in that area need to be replaced. The seat #'s and row #'s are not visible. The benches are at the wrong angles so you feel you are almost sliding off. Some more improvement still need to be done.

Have been to both of our last two games against Oregon State there at Reser. The first pre-renovation and last year, after the renovation. It's a very quality college football stadium. Feels WAY BIGGER than that total capacity number. Comparing to Snapdragon is tough. Some areas like behind each end zone, the Snappy is much closer. Reser is much further back but goes way higher above the action so it feels big. Some areas like along the sideline concourses, Reser is much better for allowing fans to walk around the stadium and stay connected to views of the action. While the Snappy forces you to walk out into the concourses and around the field. Which is a bummer to me. I love the Snappy because its ours. But the further we get away from the grand opening, it's starting to settle in that it is just not a college football stadium 100%. It's a multi purpose stadium. Until SDSU really fixes their branding mistakes and creates a much better game day environment Reser is the better of the two. When was the last time SDSU ever had a good "game day environment"?

Those were the days, the beer smuggled in and bought by those who could pass muster, the fights over the banners, the sorority girls, the great games… As sad as it is, I don’t think they are coming back. A relic of our youth that we can look back on and smile that we lived it.

No canopies but they do have "roofs" that extend out over the crowd for about 80 yards of the field. No one is going die of heat stroke up there but they might drown. Good God, we live in the mildest climate in the world, grow a pair.

Good God, we live in the mildest climate in the world, grow a pair.Thank You! At first the Canopies were a fun thing to joke about then people started getting serious about them and took out the fun, there are soo many other things that need to be done prior to spending BIG dollars on shade for a couple hours a year.

Stop with the cheap cheesy promo giveaways and come up with a better game day experience. I remember a game with a full house, back in the day when, a bee keeper chased by 4 or 6 bumblebees (circa SNL) ran through most of the stadium. That was one of the best non official acts ever!! One of the best brawls(not on the field) ever, was a day game vs UCLA, when some genius had both teams student sections seated next to each other in the field section. Epic pitched brawl that went on for at least 15-20 mins. No knives or guns, just a bunch of drunk frat boys, enjoying a sunny Sat college football game, after 4 hrs of drinking in the parking lot. There were some huge tailgating(drinking) parties back in the day. And then just bringing in half gallon milk jugs full of beer, or even pony kegs. GOOD TIMES!!!!!

Good God, we live in the mildest climate in the world, grow a pair. I'm going to take a chance here and speak for about 81% of the "canopy" posters. WE'RE NOT SERIOUS!!!!!!!! We're not wusses or old people afraid of sunstroke or whiners about Snapdragon. Grow a pair of eyes and try to see the sarcasm and vague attempts at humor as we try to amuse ourselves midst this dearth of Aztec BB news.
