Not only is Stanford getting a new SB stadium, California is as well
It was approved in November and is targeted for completion by the Spring of 2026.
The project was approved for $57.95 million - $24,883,000 to be funded from campus funds, gift funds at $3,577,000, and external financing supported by campus funds at $29.49 million.
The project will provide Cal Softball with “permanent spectator seats and concourse, a press box, competition-grade lights, restrooms, a public address system, expanded playing field dimensions to meet NCAA Division I standards, team locker rooms, improved training facilities, a ticket booth, an entry plaza, and circulation improvements along Centennial Drive (UC Regents Section 3). The project also includes updates to transportation, with improvements to adjacent bus stop and sidewalks and the addition of 40 bike parking spaces and three bike lockers in the main entry plaza."
Check out the press box in the picture below - only in California.
