Viejas Arena opened its doors to the campus and community in July 1997 and seats 12,414 for basketball〔(Viejas Arena ) at goaztecs.cstv.com, URL accessed November 24, 2009. (Archived ) 11/24/09〕 and up to 12,845 for concerts.〔(SDSU and Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians Agree on Arena Naming Rights ) at sdsuniverse.info, URL accessed November 24, 2009. (Archived ) 11/24/09〕 The facility also hosts SDSU's commencement ceremonies.〔 Previously, the Aztecs played at Peterson Gymnasium also on the SDSU campus.〔(The Reno Report: SDSU Basketball Re-enters the Arena ) at eastcountymagazine.com, URL accessed November 24, 2009. (Archived ) 11/24/09〕 However, the men's basketball team played most of their home games at the San Diego Sports Arena prior to Viejas Arena's construction. Viejas 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 originally named Cox Arena after Cox Communications, which owns one of the local cable television systems in the greater San Diego regional area, and which paid fees to become the arena's corporate sponsor.〔 The arena was renamed to Viejas Arena under a 10-year naming rights agreement announced March 17, 2009. The naming rights agreement with the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians went into effect July 1 and will pay the university about $6 million over the next 10 years.〔http://www.cbs8.com/Global/story.asp?S=10023979&nav=menu1607_2_2〕 Viejas Arena hosted the men's NCAA basketball tournament first and second rounds in 2001, 2006 and 2014.〔 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.〔((10) Alabama 90, (7) Marquette 85 ) at sports.espn.go.com, URL accessed November 24, 2009. (Archived ) 11/24/09〕 Because of its status as SDSU's home court, the Aztecs were not allowed to open the tournament at home (under "pod system" rules).〔(It's simple: The pod system is a failure ) at nbcsports.msnbc.com, URL accessed November 24, 2009. (Archived ) 11/24/09〕 Viejas Arena has also hosted WCW Bash at the Beach in 1998. In 2007, the arena was the home of the San Diego Shockwave indoor football team for one season.〔(Stadiums in the United States ) at worldstadiums.com, URL accessed November 24, 2009. (Archived ) 11/24/09〕 Viejas Arena is also used as a large concert venue where major acts perform,〔 including the Foo Fighters, Janet Jackson, A Day To Remember, Linkin Park, Metallica, Van Halen, Green Day, Rise Against, Lady Gaga, One Direction, Tool, and Drake. The arena is often used as an alternative to the much larger Valley View Casino Center (the former Sports Arena) across town. The arena was also the host of filming Megadeth's live DVD ''Blood in the Water: Live in San Diego''. The arena hosted TNA Wrestling's Bound For Glory 2013 pay-per-view event on October 20, 2013. Lady Gaga performed at Viejas Arena on her artRAVE: The ARTPOP Ball Tour, on June 2, 2014. Actress and singer Ariana Grande will perform at the arena on her Honeymoon Tour in 2015.
