it is actually 6 full luxury suites, and 24 smaller lodge suites/premium suites. I wish it was at least 10 suites but I envision them adding another luxury suites section in the endzone above Bob Foster team center/building in the future (at least 10+ years)
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!
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.
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.
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
