The Arizona Wildcats travel to San Diego to take on the Aztecs in their first game of the season on Saturday in year No. 2 of the Jedd Fisch era.

Arizona takes its transfer-heavy roster with a new quarterback, new No. 1 wideout and a head coach ready to put a 1-11 record last season behind him into San Diego State’s new football stadium.

Snapdragon Stadium has a 35,000 capacity but can fit 55,000 people if needed and may be a viewing party for those in the Pac-12 that are thinking of potential expansion for the conference.

The Wildcats will bring the Pac-12’s No. 2 recruiting class for 2022 into one of the most anticipated seasons Arizona fans have had in many years.

Here is all the info fans need for the first regular season football game.
