NEW HOUSE, SAME HOME —
HOMECOMING 2022 IS HERE!
This year marks a historic Homecoming! SDSU football returns to San Diego in its new stadium and commemorates the program’s 100th season
as the university celebrates its 125th academic year.
The Homecoming game is at 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5 against the University of Nevada
Las Vegas at Snapdragon Stadium, but the entire week is full of activities on campus,
including the annual Pep Rally, the 26th Annual Wreath-Laying Ceremony at the SDSU War Memorial, the annual National Pan Hellenic Council Yardshow and a kickoff party. In addition, campus – and San Diego – landmark buildings will
light up red in the evenings to spread the Homecoming spirit.

Go Aztecs Student Tickets site. Visit SDSU Homecoming for more information about all of the Homecoming Week events and this year’s Royal
Court.
