Snapdragon Stadium is an outdoor stadium in San Diego, California, located on the campus of San Diego State University at SDSU Mission Valley. The stadium is home of the San Diego State Aztecs football team. The Aztecs compete in NCAA Division I (FBS) as a member of the Mountain West Conference (MW).

Snapdragon Stadium is also home of San Diego Wave FC of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) and the San Diego Legion of Major League Rugby (MLR). A new Major League Soccer (MLS) expansion team, San Diego FC, will begin playing at the stadium in 2025.^[6]

Snapdragon Stadium is the first project within SDSU’s Mission Valley campus, anchoring its entertainment and education district. The stadium was built adjacent to the demolished San Diego Stadium, which had been the home of the school's football program since it opened in 1967.^[7]^[8]
