They said 8 years for all projects which is an impressive timeline..

Yeah I am in the same boat. I think an addition to say the visiting side or the end zone would be a less substantial project when they eventually join the fbs. I also think generating revenue from the suites and club seating and then going on to add up to 25k would be a good plan. Its pretty certain that something like 18k-20k could already fit in the stadium with standing room (especially after the expansion considering we will have better bathroom and food facilities too.

The stuff for the basketball arena and baseball stadium blew my expectations out of the water. Both of those faculties look like legit power conferences facilities. I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw those renderings.

Holy sh*t the plans for the U center are WAY beyond what I would have expected.

now that they don’t have a seating requirement for FBS elevation and this suite section will add a decent amount of seats, I’d imagine they are thinking that this premium seating first, extra seating later would be an easy addition

Also insane upgrades across the board. Easily in step with every other mountain west program.

Wow. This is incredible in so many ways. Also, crazy to announce right before a sac state game against a school that seems to want to dos something like this…

:lol:

seemed good to me?

this is amazing. Please let’s make this a thing

First time since 1973 to beat them! MASSIVE win! I cant wait for these MW matchups! Great to restart a rivalry with NV

best win in a while.

So class got out early.. WOWZA!

I have class during the game but am SO curious how it goes! Big game against a future conference member.

Listen, I would like to play Sac year in and year out too, and I think Stetson is a goofy level of competition to be playing (with no regional relevancy), but it is not a UC Davis problem that Sac State left a conference that solidified the rivalry year in and year out without a plan to join a conference/scheduling agreement that would provide stability for future schedules. Davis had scheduling figured out and planning ahead while the Sac admin rushed to leave a conference and try to move up without any confirmation they would be able to fill out a schedule. Realistically Davis and Sac will probably both be in the FBS in the future, and maybe they can figure out scheduling in the future even if Sac is FBS and Davis is still FCS (like we did when Davis was d2 and Sac was d1-aa) but acting like its a Davis problem that Sac made rash decisions that screwed up their scheduling enough that they cant fill out a schedule in the next year doesn't make sense to me.

I do have to say that this Causeway is one of the most exciting in a while no matter the future of it... looking forward to seeing the matchup of a Coombs defense and a Marion offense!

Ticket sales are going really fast. Other than pockets of premium seating on the home side, the visitor side has like 50 seats left.

MSU fans seem to be giving high praise to plough and Pinnick, as deserved. Insane production for a freshman and a 2nd year coach.

that Idaho one was just a goofy, downright bad situation. Def have improved in some ways but still think penalties are a big issue for sac. Run game has improved a ton

Release stadium and other facility improvement plans this week to build up talk about the school before the causeway classic, market the crap out of the game and get Davis fans the most optimistic and rocking as possible before next weekend. I feel like having the tower light up after wins (of any sport) increases visibility for the teams on campus, great addition. Football stadium stuff (suites, closing the bowl a bit/potential future seating addition drawings, concession/bathroom improvements) but also need to hopefully address basketball concession and bathroom issues + potentially make it feel less wide upon above the lower seating areas.
