Hey Aggies - It's a Hole in the Ground!

Get ready to say goodbye to Toomey Field, Ags, the (currently named) Multi-Use Stadium is under construction.

This $29,750,000 project is slated to provide a facility with 10,000 seats expandable to 30,000 (in case the Rolling Stones or the Olympics come to town) and a complete locker room for game-day activities, a press box, food and merchandising space, and public rest-rooms (good idea). The project should meet current and future needs of the Intercollegiate Athletic Program at UC Davis and will be home not only to UC Davis Football, but also Women's Lacrosse and regulation soccer. Citing the many rainy days of March and April, UC Davis officials announced late Wednesday (4/19/06) that construction delays are likely to push back the opening of the multi-use stadium until early 2007.

The Multi-Use Stadium will be located at the southwest corner of Hutchison Drive and La Rue Road.
