Regardless of the sport, Fresno State and San Jose State do not get along. The two schools have a long-standing rivalry on the gridiron, and there are plenty of bragging rights on the line when the two meet on the hardwood as well. Make sure to be in attendance when the Spartans come to town as you wouldn’t want to miss this matchup.
The Fresno State-Nevada rivalry may be more pronounced on the diamond, but the two still have plenty of ill will towards each other on the court. You won’t want to miss it when the Wolf Pack come to town so get your tickets now.
The Bulldogs and Aztecs battle for the Oil Can on the gridiron, and you better believe that same animosity carries over to the hardwood. The two California-based schools can’t stand each other, so you’ll be in for an intense matchup when attending a Fresno State-San Diego State game.

In Game
A Fresno State basketball game presents an excellent chance to see some Mountain West basketball at a great venue. Save Mart Center opened in 2003 and is home to many tributes to the Bulldogs. Inside the main lobby, you’ll find a statue of a giant bronze bulldog and there are all kinds of Fresno State memorabilia around the concourse. You’ll also see several banners hanging from the rafters celebrating all of Bulldogs accomplishments.
In addition to a venue chalked full of Bulldogs paraphernalia, you’ll also encounter a rather fun atmosphere. The mascots do an excellent job of entertaining the crowd and the fans and students who show up really know their stuff.
Finally, right along the strip outside of Save Mart Center, you’ll encounter plenty of bars and restaurants. There are several great spots for pre and postgame meals and drinks including Dog House Grill, BC’s Pizza and Wings, and BJ’s Brewhouse. If you don’t mind venturing a bit further from the arena, there are lots more options in the Tower District.
