2020-21 UC DAVIS SPRING FOOTBALL GAME NOTES #4 • 8 UC DAVIS HEALTH STADIUM
No, UC Davis football has not moved to a new home facility: the former STUDENT-ATHLETE PERFORMANCE CENTER (Concept drawing - facility under construction in 2019) Aggie Stadium has been rebranded as UC Davis Health Stadium effective July of 2019. This comes as a result of an expand- ed partnership between UC Davis Athlet- ics and UC Davis Health, a collaboration that will feature a new student-athlete performance center located to the im- mediate north of the campus’s multi-use stadium (see AECOM Hunt and Gensler Sport’s concept drawing at right). With an official capacity of 10,743, UC Davis Health Stadium opened in 2007 as one of the three major facilities funded by the Facilities and Campus Enhancement, for F.A.C.E., Initiative of 1999. The UC Davis women’s lacrosse team was the first to compete on its Shaw Sports (formerly Sportexe) turf, defeating Saint Mary’s on April 1, 2007. The foot- ball team began competing at UC Davis Health Stadium that fall, after more than a half century at Toomey Field. The Aggie field hockey team also played at UC Davis Health Stadium before moving to its own facility in 2014, while men’s soccer has contested key matchups on the turf in past years. UC Davis Health Stadium was de- signed by industry leader Ellerbe Beckett, and built by local firm Brown Construc- tion. It features fixed seating on each of the east and west sides, with grass berm seating – now known as the UC Davis Children’s Hospital Family Zone – adja- cent to each end zones. Beneath the press box resides the Bruce Edwards Club Room, a popular venue for receptions, meetings and other gatherings.
