Isn't he the younger, athletic brother of Gray Davis?

That's a very nice facility you've got there Davis fans! Do they let fans sit on the grassy ends? Lehigh does this and it's very nice... In fact, this reminds me a bit of Goodman stadium, which is an excellent place to watch a game!

It is a brand new stadium. The 2007 season will be the first played there. I would expect the Cal Poly game will be an overflow crowd.

[GoAgs!]

Thanks everyone! The whole department and campus is really excited to finally be here. It was a student fee referendum that made the move possible, and as a current student, I couldn't be more excited for DI and the new stadium!

Grass seating will be allowed. With the way our fire marshal operates, probably won't be able to put enough people to fill up the space, but definitely will be an area to pull the blanket out and watch the game.

A great time to be a Cal Aggie!

That's real similar to what Wash/Griz looked like when it was first built. The biggest difference is our stands are much closer to the field.

Hey you guys have parking next to the stadium...and where are the cows? xlolx Seriously, congrats! I watched that stadium being built online and what an effort! xbowx xthumbsupx

The cows are literally right across the street out of the picture to the left. I assumed they were going to move them but they're still there and they stink when you're in the right place with the right wind

[lucchesicourt]

And for the right place and the right wind, wouldn't that be where the visitors sit?

Now that is one sweet looking stadium! xthumbsupx

[Zoo]

I love your stadium, it looks so nice compared alot of schools and maybe even better then Sun Belt team's stadiums. xlolx

Congrats for being full-time FCS members!

Thank you, Tim! I've been looking at the construction site now for years (ok, months) and it's nice to get such a great view.

VERY nice! xnodx xnodx xnodx

Once the program really takes off,
that really nice turf will be replaced
by seats in the ends. Wanna bet?

I think the plan is to build out further on the already existing seats when the need arises.

[ucdtim17]

I hope they leave the grass until we really need seats there. We should start building up before paving over the grass
