MEDIA GUIDE | SAN DIEGO STATE FOOTBALL | NUR UNIVERSITY San Diego State University an Diego State University is the oldest and largest higher education institution in the San Diego region. Since it was foundedS in 1897, the university has grown to become a nationally ranked research university. Each year, SDSU provides approximately 30,000 students with the opportunity to partic- ipate in an academic curriculum distinguished by direct contact with faculty and an increasing international emphasis, preparing them for a global future. Serving the San Diego region has always been a core part of SDSU’s mission. Founded March 13, 1897, San Diego State University began as the San Diego Normal School, a training facility for elementary school teachers. Seven faculty and 91 students met in tempo- rary quarters over a downtown drugstore before moving to a newly constructed 17-acre campus on Park Boulevard. The curriculum was limited at first to English, history and mathematics, but course offerings broadened rapidly under the leadership of Samuel T. Black, who left his position as state superintendent of public instruction to become the new school's first president. Black served from 1898 to 1910.

San From 1910 to Diego1935, President Edward L.State University Hardy headed a vigorous administration that oversaw major changes to the fledgling institu- tion. In 1921, the Normal School became San Diego State Teachers College, a four-year pub- lic institution controlled by the state Board of Education. In that same year, the two-year San Diego Junior College, forerunner of today's local community colleges, became a branch of San Diego State, creating a union that lasted until 1946. By the 1920s, San Diego State was already beginning to outgrow its Park Boulevard loca- tion, and San Diegans launched a campaign to build a new campus on the city's eastern bor- der. In February 1931, students, faculty and staff moved into seven Mission-style buildings surrounding a common area still known as the Main Quad. Four years later, the Legislature authorized L.

Aztec Culture Aztecs and SDSU San Diego State University first adopted the Aztec name in the 1920s as a nickname for the college's sports teams. In 1925, the student newspaper followed suit, changing its name from The Paper Lantern to The Aztec. Since that time, San Diego State's celebration of Aztec heritage has perme- ated the campus. In 1936, a Donald Hord sculpture of Mon- tezuma II, the last Aztec emperor, became a welcoming campus icon. With the passing years, Aztec themes echoed in the names, colors and architectural elements of new cam- pus buildings. And Aztec culture became the subject of more than a dozen university courses. In 1941, Monty Montezuma, a character based on Mon- tezuma II, debuted at San Diego State athletic events as a symbolic personification of the Aztecs. Over time, the Mon- tezuma character's look and activities have evolved from a sports mascot into a more dignified and accurate represen- tation of the historical emperor. Montezuma now serves as the university's ambassador of Aztec culture, charged with the responsibility of informing and educating the San Diego community about Aztec civilization. SDSU continues to take pride in its affiliation with Aztec culture and to celebrate the Aztec virtues of strength, valor and intellectual achievement.

Qualcommn September 15, 1967, the San Diego State Stadium Univer- sity football team first stepped onto the turf of what Sports Illustrated would later call the finest multi-pur- poseO stadium in America - San Diego Stadium. That night, the Aztecs, led by head coach Don Coryell and players like Haven Moses, Fred Dryer, Tom Nettles and Nate Wright, de- feated Tennessee State 16-8 in front of 45,822 fans. In an effort to prepare the stadium for the next century, a $66.4 million renovation project was undertaken in 1997, which increased seating to 71,400, added 31 luxury suites; created 7,600 club seats, and added a second Sony Jum- botron video board in the West end. To help in financing of the renovation project, Qualcomm, a local communications company, agreed to provide $18 mil- lion for the naming rights of the Stadium for the next 20 years. The Stadium is now known as Qualcomm Stadium. Qual- comm Stadium is located at the intersection of Interstates 8 and 15 in Mission Valley, less than five miles from the univer- sity. Indeed, San Diego State is one of the facility's two char- ter tenants, the other being the San Diego Chargers of the National Football League. In the 30 years since that opening night, some of the greatest names in Aztec football history have displayed their talents there - Dennis Shaw, Brian Sipe, Isaac Curtis, Willie Buchanon, Todd Santos, Webster Slaugh- ter, Rob Awalt, Don Warren, Dan McGwire, Henry Allison, Claudie Minor, Jesse Freitas, Craig Penrose, David "Deacon" Turner, Darnay Scott and Marshall Faulk to name a few.
