yeah. I saw that too. I was in section 123 and he was sitting alone on the bench for a while. Hopefully he perks up and stays with hopes of being even better next year!

exactly everything was falling into place for us. Oh well.

Ouch. That is likely the game. Still good year. Just disappointed in today’s game. We had the possibility of hosting semifinal

I feel this this possession is a must score/touchdown

agree.

I hope they reach out to local elementary/middle/high schools in Davis/woodland schools. They should also advertise in Dixon/vacaville/winters/west sac, and reach out to Nor Cal alums.

it sure was cold. I had thermals and multiple layers and still had to buy a blanket at the half. I don’t know how those guys in the Aggie pack stayed shirtless for so long!
I think the cold temps did scare a few from attending but for the ones who attended all seemed to having a blast.

It was a great game! Nice turnout. Wonder what the final attendance # was.

Stanford won 15-9

yes. ESPN 2 is available on cable tv, online, multiple streaming services/youtubeTV, and the espn app rather than just the espn app/online for espn+. Espn 2 will automatically add viewers from all the bars/restaurants/etc who have ESPN and ESPN 2 automatically on.

I too want sac state to succeed but I want them to succeed academically first. They are currently around 16th out of the 23 CSUs, which is surprisingly low and they should at least be around 5th-6th. I want them to invest in their campus and students and then athletics rather than other way around. Truthfully I think sac would do better focusing on their non football sports in the Big West and invest there.

I agree we are moving in right direction which is why I felt we should have at least filled in one of the endzones with seats to increase seated capacity to 13k at least plus the new suites/premium seats in phase 1 of Aggie ascent.

Can all those sac fans who bought fcs championship tix after dr wood told them, get their refund?

agree. I think we have a good chance for any 2nd round team except for those 3.

yeah in state applicants isn’t our (or any UC) issue. But they still want a decent percentage of good out of state students too, who would bring additional revenue due to higher fees, plus more brand recognition can bring in more sponsorships and sometimes bring in more research money.

I thought the arena would be first too but I think since they are also building/adding a whole new training/practice facility connected to arena for gymnastics/volleyball/basketball that they wouldn’t have the funds for that for another 2-3 years and that they would likely do both projects/arena/training facility at same time. So having that as phase 2 of Aggie ascent makes sense.

they mentioned that the whole ascent project will be completed in 8 years and that the football suites/event space, track&field enhancements, and golf are phase one of that. So I would assume that will start in late 2026 and be completed by 2028.

I agree. I don’t think anyone in their right mind would build 30k+ now in CA unless you are sac state who still are pushing for eventual build of 40k. I think a full build out here should be 22k-25k Max. But agree that 20-22k with more premium seats seems more realistic

100% agree we could have built a state of the art 45k stadium within 8 months at the fair grounds. lol. Jk.

I know there isn’t a capacity requirement for FBS per se, but it is kind of an unspoken requirement by the conferences to be at least around 25k now, I was hoping to at least do a cheaper addition at least initially to one end zone to increase seated capacity to 12-15k for now (and add 2nd deck to student side later). I agree with adding premium seats as being our priority and love the plans, just wish we had 2 levels of suites so that we can have 10-12 suites at least. But I agree that this is great and the other sports are beyond what I expected for these plans.
My only other wish is that we did a little something for equestrian sports and supported/promoted it a little more since we are an Ag/Vet school.
