Sacramento State last week announced plans to build a state-of-the-art, multi-use sports and entertainment venue to replace Hornet Stadium. The new facility will accommodate football, soccer, rugby and various events, with a minimum capacity of 25,000 spectators.
"The stadium is a commitment to our belief that Sacramento has a spirit and passion to turn this city into a college football town," said President Luke Wood. "It will be a stadium worthy of Sacramento State's academic and athletic prowess, and it will also honor our position as one of the top media markets in the country."
Construction on the new stadium will begin at the end of the current season. The project is funded by money allocated for Athletics, including sponsorships and donor funds.
