Division I Football Bowl Subdivision of the NCAA. The Spartans play in the Mountain West Conference. They are one of six FBS schools in California (University of California, Davis, Cal Poly Pomona, University of Southern California, Stanford University, and University of California, Berkeley). San Jose State has been eligible for the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Championship since the 1999 season when it replaced Nevada as the west region champion. They have never played in or won a championship game. The Spartans' home field is Spartan Stadium on the campus of San Jose State University. The current stadium was built in 1956 and has been renamed Eddy D. Baker Jr. Memorial Stadium in honor of the former San Jose mayor who died while serving as president of his alma mater, South Carolina. It has been called "The Rock" by its fans because of its distinctive rock wall along with other natural rocks used for building materials during construction of the stadium. The team's record attendance at a single game is 102,631 people for their last match of the 2014 season against Utah State.
