San Diego Stadium was the home of [[San Diego State Aztecs football]] from [[1967 San Diego State Aztecs football team|1967]] through [[2019 San Diego State Aztecs football team|2019]]. An annual college football [[bowl game]], the [[Holiday Bowl]], was held in the stadium every December from [[1978 Holiday Bowl|1978]] through [[2019 Holiday Bowl|2019]]. The stadium was home to a second college bowl game, the [[Poinsettia Bowl]], from [[2005 Poinsettia Bowl|2005]] until its discontinuation following the [[2016 Poinsettia Bowl|2016]] edition. Following the demolition of San Diego Stadium, [[San Diego State University]] purchased the land, with plans to develop the area into a campus expansion, now known as SDSU Mission Valley. [[Snapdragon Stadium]] opened in August 2022 as the new home for the Aztecs football team.
 
The stadium hosted three [[Super Bowl]]s: [[Super Bowl XXII|XXII]] in 1988, [[Super Bowl XXXII|XXXII]] in 1998, and [[Super Bowl XXXVII|XXXVII]] in 2003. It also hosted the [[1984 World Series|1984]] and [[1998 World Series]], the [[1978 Major League Baseball All-Star Game|1978]] and [[1992 Major League Baseball All-Star Game]], as well as theand games of the [[1996 National League Division Series|1996]] and [[1998 National League Division Series]], and the [[1984 National League Championship Series|1984]] and [[1998 National League Championship Series]], and the [[1984 World Series|1984]] and [[1998 World Series]]. It was the only stadium ever to host both the Super Bowl and the World Series in the same year (1998), and was one of three stadiums to host the World Series, the MLB All-Star Game, and the Super Bowl, along with the [[Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome]] in [[Minneapolis]] and [[Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum]] in [[Los Angeles]].
