Aggie Stadium

This is a great ‘little’ football stadium on the campus of UC Davis. It reminds me, a bit, of Raley field in West Sacramento. It is the proper size and scale for the level of play. It is also very family friendly. I love sitting on the grass hills behind the end zones. You can lounge out and watch the plays develop in the unique way one can only appreciate from that angle which typically is not highlighted on televised football games.
We saw the Aggies beat up on University of North Dakota in a Big Sky Conference matchup. It was a fun game to watch. I was particularly impressed with the Aggies star Gabe Manzanares, hailing from San Francisco. That guy must have been involved in virtually every offensive play. I’d have loved to have his numbers on my fantasy team.
The student section is full of energy and the band is great for team/​school spirit.
The only downsides to the stadium are the odd bathrooms on the west side of the stadium; they are hidden thru a corridor, too small, and have a normal door on them that you have to open and close with your hands (not sanitary.) Also, there should be more fun food vendors. I think there was one food truck, but I only saw it when it was pulling away. They have a 4^th quarter hotdog for $ 2, so hold out.
Overall, this stadium is great.

The UCD stadium is a great venue. In the last five years I have attended numerous athletic events and functions at the Aggie Stadium. Most recently, we have attended the annual Softball Banquet in the Bruce Edwards room in the Club section of the stadium. The facilities are great and its nice that UCD athletics has a venue for all of the sports teams to use.

The new UCD football and woman’s lacrosse venue, Aggie stadium opened last year. It has seats for roughly 10,000. The stadium has expansion potential to seat 30,000. This year they had lights installed making for safer games in the early season when temperatures here in the stinkin’ CV can still hang in the triple digits. I’m going to subtract one star from a perfect five for the excessive use of electricity. College football really ought to be played on Saturday afternoon in October. Why the night games? Super extra bonus star value: Free admission during the fourth quarter!
