Previously, they competed in the Western Athletic Conference. The Aztecs play their home games at Tony Gwynn Stadium on the SDSU campus in San Diego, California. The team was coached by Tony Gwynn himself (who played for the SDSU baseball and men's basketball teams as a student) from 2003 until his death in 2014. Tony Gwynn Stadium The previous stadium at the same site was known as Smith Stadium in honor of Charlie Smith, the longtime San Diego State head baseball coach. In 1997, the stadium was rebuilt at a cost of $4 million, funded mainly by John Moores, then-owner of the San Diego Padres. The new stadium was named in honor of Tony Gwynn, a Baseball Hall of Fame superstar for the Padres. The playing field retained Smith's name, and is officially known as Charlie Smith Field at Tony Gwynn Stadium. As an undergraduate, Gwynn played both baseball and basketball for the Aztecs. He became SDSU's head baseball coach after he retired from the Padres. Head coaches As of the 2020 Baseball Season
