Sacramento State has announced plans to build a new multi-use football stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Renderings for the stadium will be released in the coming weeks, but it will feature a horseshoe design including student sections, premium seating, and boxes to accommodate 25,000 attendees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The announcement comes as Sac State is making a push to join the FBS. The Pac-12 needs one more full-time member to hit the FBS minimum of eight, while the Mountain West needs two more full-time members (Hawaii doesn\u2019t count toward the 8-school FBS membership minimum).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A group of local leaders in Sacramento recently formed “The Sac 12” committee to help make a public push to move up to the top subdivision in Division 1 football. The school also conducted a recent feasibility study on making an FBS jump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new stadium will be constructed at the site of the current Hornet Stadium, which has a capacity of 21,195.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Architecture firm Populous will help design the stadium, which will be designed to host football, men\u2019s and women\u2019s soccer, and men\u2019s and women\u2019s rugby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
