The 2020 San Diego State Aztecs football team represented San Diego State University in the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season . The Aztecs were led by head coach Brady Hoke , in the first season of his second stint, and played their home games at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California , as a member of the Mountain West Conference .
On August 10, 2020, the Mountain West Conference suspended all fall sports competitions due to the COVID-19 pandemic . [3] However, the conference later reversed course and announced plans to resume play on October 24. [4]
Dignity Health Sports Park, also home to LA Galaxy in Major League Soccer and Los Angeles Wildcats of the XFL , as well as a former home stadium of the NFL 's Los Angeles Chargers (which once coincidentally represented San Diego), served as the team's temporary home. The program's former home venue, SDCCU Stadium , is being demolished and will be replaced by Aztec Stadium . This was originally announced when the Mountain West planned to postpone its season. [5]
After finishing their season with a 4–4 record (4–2 in conference games), Hoke announced on December 16 that the program was removing itself from consideration for a bowl game . [6]
