KCRA News covered Sac State's announcement to build a new stadium. The university said they have hired an architect but did not comment on the cost. They also said that the student fees that go toward athletics will increase from $181/year to $256/year and additional funds are expected to come from alums and corporate support.

Please no...it may have been cool many years ago when the cheerleaders stood on milk cans at The Toom but it would be a real groaner for today's students...

Great video! This was the Aggies first win over UCLA in history and the game drew 2031 fans.

I always wondered why the official capacity was listed as 10,743? Last week we had 14,832 so the official capacity figure is certainly not a number that the fire marshal enforces. In addition, there's nothing in the stadium that would be a fire hazard since it's a sunken, concrete stadium and has many easily accessible exits if there was the need for an emergency evacuation.

The only health hazard to fans is the heat and the later start times have mostly addressed this problem although the fans on the east side and the end zones can still get baked in the games that start at 1 or 4 pm if the temps are high later in the season.

Will they come back in record numbers again and will they be loud?

Hopefully, we'll have some players back from injury on both sides of the ball and, like you said, we'll need to execute and finish much better than we have been doing or this game could get away from us real fast.

Thanks PA! This had me stumped!

The DII National Championship as a non-scholarship program was one of the most remarkable achievements in Aggie sports history...right up there with beating Stanford when we were a non-scholia DII team and they were FBS...

AS PAC-12 GROWS AND MOUNTAIN WEST SHRINKS, ARE AGGIES IN THE MIX? ... On Monday morning, the six-team Pac-12 reached across the country and offered spots to AAC members Memphis, Tulane and South Florida, but all three turned down the overture and elected to stay put.

This led to a quick Pac-12 offer to Utah State Monday afternoon that was just as quickly accepted. So yes, the Aggies are now in the Pac-12, but not the same Aggies that Davis folks know and love.

The Pac-12 (the league retained that title even when it was down to just Oregon State and Washington State) has already raided Mountain West schools San Diego State, Fresno State, Boise State and Colorado State, leaving both leagues with seven schools, one short of the NCAA minimum for recognition as a conference.

UNLV, which earlier on Monday committed to stay in the Mountain West, withdrew that commitment when Utah State announced it was leaving and is now reconsidering a Pac-12 offer.

If UNLV leaves, the Mountain West will need to quickly add at least two teams, which is where rumors about UC Davis continue to swirl, along with other top-enders in the Big Sky and Missouri Valley. Even if UNLV stays, the MWC may consider UCD and perhaps the Montana or Dakota schools. Sacramento State would also like to be in the conversation.

I think the fan base would jump up big if we were to bring in bigger name programs.

The stadium was a full as I've ever seen it but the crowd thinned out significantly beginning late in the third quarter. I'd say 40% or more were gone the mid 4th quarter. It was a long game and it was getting late. We need the 7 pm starts in September though and the east side doesn't get fried alive. Heck, the forecast is for another triple digit or two next week.

They scanned us but sometimes I'm not sure it registers for whatever reason and they just "you guys are good."

It's hard to disagree with what you are saying. However, I think Perez is doing a nice job and having him in there gives Larison a blow.

I wonder if he means we had 6 starters out? I counted about 30 players wearing their jerseys who were not suited up for the game when the team came back onto the field for the second half. I couldn't tell who they were since we don't have names on the jerseys anymore. We're obviously pretty beat up. I hope we get some of them back for the Idaho game.

Official attendance: 14,832. I hope they come back for the Idaho game. We're gonna need a loud fan base to help the Ags play with their hair on fire in this one.

We got into the red zone 9 times but could only manage 3 TD's.

The game was played in San Diego in front of a crowd of 3802. That's an impressive crowd size for the Aztecs.
