The stadium was the home of the San Diego State Aztecs football team.

Construction of a 10,000 seat stadium began in 1933 following the first of two Works Progress Administration (WPA) grants.

The stadium was used for soccer matches and as a musical venue for the San Diego Symphony, the Grateful Dead in 1969, the Police in 1983 and Lollapalooza in 1994.

The arena was built directly into the canyon hillside, enclosing one end of Aztec Bowl.

Two sections of the stadium's original concrete bleachers and cobblestone walls remain visible.
