San Diego State coach Sean Lewis will be out again this week on campus and in the community as he continues to drum up support for the Aztecs football program.<\/p>\n
Between season-ticket sales, student tickets, community outreach and marketing promotions, SDSU distributed nearly all of the tickets to 32,500-seat\u00a0 Snapdragon Stadium leading up to the Aztecs\u2019 game two weeks ago against Cal.<\/p>\n
Now Lewis is trying to draw a crowd for Friday night\u2019s Mountain West opener against Colorado State at Snapdragon.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need our city to continue to show up for us,\u201d Lewis said. \u201cIt was a tremendous opportunity against Cal. There was a direct correlation that you could make from the energy, the enthusiasm, the number of people that were in the stands, to the impact that they had on the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cGreat opportunity this Friday night for our city, for the community, for the school, for the student body to come out, to pack Snapdragon and continue the party that we started a couple of weeks ago.\u201d<\/p>\n
The in-house crowd was 21,819 to witness SDSU\u2019s 34-0 win over the Golden Bears. The Aztecs offered two complimentary tickets to season ticket holders and also distributed tickets at community events. In addition, they had a \u201cflash sale\u201d in which ticket prices were reduced to $15.<\/p>\n
Ticketmaster listed several thousand tickets still for sale for Friday\u2019s game. Approximately 500 were on the east (visiting) side. Nearly 4,000 were still available on the upper west (home) side. Most ticket prices ranged from $80 to $180, though some were priced at $269.<\/p>\n
Lewis said during Monday\u2019s midday press conference that there were plans in the works to again get tickets distributed. There was no immediate word on whether the Aztecs planned to do another flash sale.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love our fans,\u201d Lewis said. \u201cThey are fanatical. Can\u2019t wait to see them show up on Friday and be fanatical for us and generate more illegal procedure and false start penalties (for Colorado State).<\/p>\n
\u201c(Fans) have high standards for us? Awesome. I love it. I\u2019ve got high standards for our city, too. I need one percent of San Diego County to show up so we can sell out Snapdragon Stadium. And then how cool is that environment going to be? How electric will that be for our kids? How much will that energy feed our kids and be an energy source to generate explosive plays and then to make it so much more challenging and so much harder to win for a road team?\u201d<\/p>\n
Say what?<\/p>\n
Colorado State to used both third-year starter Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi<\/strong> (44-for-82, 488 yards, TD\/ 2 INTs) and backup Jackson Brousseau<\/strong> (29-for-40, 266 yards, TD) this season.<\/p>\n Does it matter which quarterback plays against the Aztecs?<\/p>\n \u201cNo,\u201d said SDSU linebacker Owen Chambliss<\/strong>, the Aztecs\u2019 leading tackler. \u201cThe way our DBs play, put (Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick<\/strong>) Mahomes<\/strong> out there if you want to.\u201d<\/p>\n Notable<\/p>\n \u2022 SDSU, which went 3-9 last season, was among 20 schools with three or fewer wins a year ago. The Aztecs (3-1) are one of four schools that already have three victories this season, along with Mississippi State (4-1 after going 2-10), Florida State (3-1 after going 2-10) and Southern Mississippi (3-2 after going 1-11).<\/p>\n \u2022 The Aztecs are 62-34 (.646) in the Mountain West, including championships and bowl games, in the current 12-team configuration that has been in place since 2013. Only Boise State (83-18, .822) has a better record.<\/p>\n \u2022 A deeper dive into the SDSU archives indicates that kicker Gabe Plascencia<\/strong>\u2018s 18 straight field goals made is tied with the mark Chris O\u2019Brien<\/strong> established over the 1984-85 seasons.<\/p>\n \u2022 Punter Hunter Green<\/strong> leads the Mountain West with a 46.2-yard punt average (13th in FBS) and 11 punts inside the 20-yard line. He also has two punts of 67 yards. No one else in the nation has more than one punt of 67 or more yards.<\/p>\n Originally Published: September 29, 2025 at 6:47 PM PDT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Diego State coach Sean Lewis will be out again this week on campus and in the community…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":265314,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5134],"tags":[5229,1582,276,1369,1370,3549,7264,18257,62,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-265313","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-diego","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-california","11":"tag-college-sports","12":"tag-latest-headlines","13":"tag-san-diego","14":"tag-sandiego","15":"tag-sdsu-aztecs","16":"tag-sports","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-united-states-of-america","19":"tag-unitedstates","20":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","21":"tag-us","22":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115290762350537072","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265313","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=265313"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265313\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/265314"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=265313"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=265313"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=265313"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
