| Cox Arena, located on the San Diego State University (SDSU) campus in San Diego, California, USA, is the home of the SDSU Aztecs men's and women's basketball teams. Built in 1997, it seats 12,414 for basketball and up to 12,845 for concerts. Cox Arena also hosts SDSU's commencement ceremonies. Previously, the Aztecs played at Peterson Gym and, later, San Diego Sports Arena. |  |
Cox Arena was built on the site of the old Aztec Bowl football stadium (a Works Progress Administration project) on the SDSU campus, and the university (or its affiliated corporation) still owns the arena. It was named for Cox Communications, which owns the local cable television system in the greater San Diego regional area, and which paid fees to become the arena's corporate sponsor. The arena's official name is Cox Arena at Aztec Bowl.
Cox Arena hosted the men's NCAA basketball tournament first and second rounds in 2001 and 2006. In the 2006 tourney, the first-round games were delayed and the building evacuated due to a bomb-sniffing dog picking up scents of a potentially dangerous substance. These fears were unfounded, however, and play went on as scheduled.
Cox Arena has also hosted WCW Bash at the Beach in 1998. In 2007 will be the home of the expansion San Diego Shockwave indoor football team.
The Skinny
Upon opening in late-1997 the Cox immediately became one of San Diego's most popular concert venues, drawing big-name acts, from Pearl Jam to Pennywise, to the Boston Pops Orchestra. The multi-use facility has also played host to myriad trade shows, ice shows and even the occasional big-time touring theatrical production.
What To Expect
The comfortable plastic orange seats are slanted at an angle steep enough to make the view worth the vertigo. During games fans are treated to instant replays via video screens suspended from the giant eight-sided scoreboard. Excellent acoustics and a first-rate sound system are guaranteed to keep your ears ringing for a week.

New Student and Family Convocation
Location: Cox Arena President Stephen L. Weber and Vice President for Student Affairs James R. Kitchen are hosting the new student and family convocation for all new undergraduate students and their families. Just as commencement is a ritual marking the completion of study, convocation is a ritual that signals the beginning of a college career. Convocation brings new students and their families together with faculty and staff to mark a new beginning. Convocation and commencement are bookends, signifying traditional acknowledgment of milestones in the academic journey. Convocation also serves as a vehicle to promote the institutional values of scholarship, citizenship and leadership.
