Sacramento State has announced plans to construct a new state-of-the-art football and multi-use stadium that will replace the current temporary stands at Hornet Stadium, providing the University with a venue to leverage its location in one of the top 20 media markets in the nation.
Shortly after the announcement, renderings were released of the new 25,000-seat structure. The two images showcase a shiny new edition of Hornets Stadium.

A group of local leaders called the ‘SAC 12’ have been at the forefront of a five-step plan that will earn Sacramento State an invitation from the PAC-12 or Mountain West conference, but boxes will need to be checked before that takes place.
One of those boxes that must be checked is a new stadium, which the school has already announced is on the way. The SAC 12 has also announced that they have raised over $35 million in NIL funds to aid the efforts. And now, we can see the renderings of a new stadium that is expected to grace the Sacramento State campus in the near future.

The multi-sport facility will be designed to host football, men’s and women’s soccer, and men’s and women’s rugby. The stadium will also host collegiate, professional and international competitions, NCAA championships, concerts, club sports and other events including Commencement and Convocation.
“Today marks a significant milestone for Sacramento State,” said Sac State President Luke Wood. “The construction of this new, multi-use stadium will take our athletic game experiences to a new level. The stadium will benefit multiple sports teams including football, soccer and rugby. The feasibility study completed in 2023 shows we not only need the improvements, but we have so much more we can offer our campus and community with a new stadium.”
