It may be April, but football is in the news.
San Diego State University will host its annual spring football game on Saturday, April 20, at 1 p.m. at Snapdragon Stadium.
Fans can claim up to six free tickets for the event by visiting goaztecs.com/AztecFAST.
There are many sidelights to go with the game.
The first 1,000 fans who enter the stadium and make their way to the South concourse will receive a free Aztec football replica jersey. Free schedule posters as well as the opportunity to win a chance to kick a field goal for $10,000 will also be available at all open gates.
Cameron Thomas and Zachary Thomas, the Aztecs’ honorary coaches for the game, will be signing autographs at the Southeast concourse in front of the team store. A group of select players will also be signing autographs after the spring game for roughly 30 minutes on the inner north concourse (limit one item per person).
Fans will be able to purchase SDSU merchandise, including new Aztec FAST merch, at the Shop Aztecs container store in the Northeast concourse.
The day will also feature a face painter, balloon artist, cornhole, and performances by the SDSU band, cheer, diamonds and twirlers.
Football’s Aztec FAST Showcase presented by Aztec Link is part of San Diego State’s Red and Black Weekend that also features Aztec Link’s golf tournament on Friday, men’s tennis against Utah State at 11 a.m. Saturday, baseball against UC Irvine at 6 p.m. Saturday, and women’s water polo against UC San Diego at 1 p.m. Sunday.
ALUMNI HONOR ROLL
Cameron and Zachary Thomas are brothers. The duo led San Diego State to a school-record 12 victories in 2021 and No. 25 ranking in the final Associated Press Top 25 poll.
Cameron Thomas was an Aztec from 2018-21 before being drafted in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals. At San Diego State, he recorded 21 sacks, fourth most in program history. He is one of just three Aztecs to be named the Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year and is one of two defensive linemen to earn three all-conference first-team selections in the team’s Division I era.
