FOUR schools (BYU, Sac State, UM, and USD) in 6+ months. 'Nuff said...

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Do you feel better now Kadeezy? By the way, what ever happenned to all the grandiose athletic facility improvements you told us were coming to Sac? I see the basketabll arena has been scrapped in favor or "remodeling" that substandard high school gym? Why add seats when you can't fill the 1000 you have now?

I actually feel much better.

In terms of the facilities, they just completed a month-long remodel of the Hornet's Nest which included a new court, and they also fixed lighting, repainted, and did some bleecher maintenance.

Football's multi-million dollar fieldhouse is now up and running and is easily the best in the BSC if not all of FCS. That should definately help recruiting.

The arena plans have not been scrapped and with the recent modifications to the Hornet's nest (naming the court after volleyball coach Debby Colberg), I would guess that they don't plan on a half-assed excuse for a new arena. The Rec center and arena are still in the plans (albeit way down the road).

Kadeezy... do you have a link to some info on the fieldhouse? Sac already has an exceptional track (right?), i'm assuming the fieldhouse was built with the track program in mind. Not only, but a big part of it. pretty cool.

Kadeeze I will always have a spot in my heart just for you my friend.

The track facility is already considered one of the top (if not the top) in the nation. The last two Olympic Trials and numerous NCAA Championships have been held there. Football and Track are the only two sports housed in the new $11 million facility.

I know they held the NCAA's, and it is a nice facility. But the NCAA is also a bid process. Do you have something to back up your claim it is among the best, if not the best, or is that just Kadeezyspeak? No offense, but you always think the Hornets are contenders in nearly every sport too.

HORNET STADIUM


The Sacramento State track and field program begins its ninth season in the renovated Hornet Stadium. Seating just over 21,000, the stadium remains the University’s most impressive athletic facility and the largest track facility in the Big Sky Conference. Thanks to a generous donation by philanthropist Alex G. Spanos, Hornet Stadium underwent a major renovation in May of 1998 to accommodate the upgrades for the 2000 Olympic Trials. Reconstruction of the existing track was completed by August, just three months later. A separate warm-up track followed in 1999. In 2003, upgrades were made to the stadium lighting and a new scoreboard was installed for both track and football.

Regarded as one of the fastest surfaces in the country, Hornet Stadium has also hosted the 2001 Junior Olympics, the 2003, 2005 and 2006 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships and the 2004 U.S Track and Field Olympic Trials. The venue will also be the site of the 2007 NCAA Div. I Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

The track has been used by some of the best athletes in the world. Since it was installed in 1999, one world record, six American records, 22 Olympic Trials records, eight U.S. Championship records, nine NCAA records, three American junior records and two national high school records have been set at the facility. That list is surely to grow as the NCAA Championship Meet returns to Sacramento State for one more year.

The stadium track is surfaced with Mondo Sportflex Super X and features eight 1.22 meter-wide lanes on the oval and nine lanes for the 200 and 100 meter races. The track has a 37-meter radius with the steeplechase water jump on the inside of the track on the North curve.

The field event areas include two dual directional long/triple jump runways positioned on the inside of the East side of the track. There are also two dual directional pole vault runways located inside the North end of the track. The high jump has two approach areas on each end. The field event approach surfaces are all Mondo Sportsflex Super X. All throwing events can be contested on the infield inside the track.

In addition to the high-quality stadium track, there is a 400-meter oval practice track located just to the North of the stadium. The additional track is used for warm-ups at large meets and as an extra practice site. The second track is also surfaced with Mondo Sportsflex Super X and has a six-lane straightaway with a two-lane 400 meter oval built to the same specifications of the stadium track. All jumping and throwing events have runways, pits, and rings within the practice facility.

Broad Fieldhouse opens; work begins on fitness center
The first occupants of the Eli and Edythe Broad Fieldhouse have finally settled in.

Members of the Sacramento State football and track coaching staffs have completed their move into the new 26,235 square-foot facility. The fieldhouse, located at the south end of Hornet Stadium in the Alex G. Spanos Sports Complex, houses coaches’ offices, locker rooms, a sports medicine area and a new strength and conditioning room.

The facility is named for Eli and Edythe L. Broad who provided a gift of $2 million toward its construction.

The staffs began moving in from the old field house at the north end of the stadium earlier this month. Preparations are underway to demolish the old field house and replace it with a 150,845-square foot, recreation and wellness facility for the campus community. That facility, paid for in part by student fees, will feature a fitness center, an indoor track, gym courts, racquetball courts, a rock climbing wall and the student health center.

The new fitness center is scheduled to open in fall 2010. An official grand opening for the Broad Fieldhouse is scheduled for September.

For more information on either facility, contact Ron Richardson, associate vice president for Facility Services at (916) 278-6241. For media assistance, contact Sacramento State’s Public Affairs office at (916) 278-6156.

A Press release authored by Sac State isn't exactly what I would consider credible evidence that this is amongs the finest facilities, if not the best, as you claim. It kind of reminds me of when Larry Donovan said the Griz were the "team of the 80's". It sounds great, but no one bought it. if you get my drift.

I thought the press release actually did a pretty good job of explaining the features that make it a very nice facility and also included a long list of events that it has hosted ... including two Olympic Trials.

I think that validates his claim quite well.

I attended one of the Olympic Trials ... it's a nice facility for track and field, and all of the T&F wonks there were raving about how fast the track was.

I attended both Olympic Trials and the NCAA meet. No one is disputing it is a nice facility. But even you would have to agree (if open mindeded that is) a Press Release from UM is going to put UM in the best possible light, as is a Press Release from msu going to do the same, as did the Press release from Sac State. If someone is going to lay claim to the best facility in the country (as Kadeezy did), then I am well within bounds to ask the source of such hihg praise. There are some incredible track and field facilities at Oregon , Arkansas, and LSU to name 3. If you want to accept viewpoints from someone donning green colored glasses , then hop aboard the Hornet train. All you have really done is show your insatiable need to argue. The problem is, you cannot dispute what I wrote, and you know it.

Yeah ... it's me that is arguing for the sake of arguing. This from a guy who is harassing a guy for making a pretty simple and uncontroversial statement.

How exactly is he supposed to prove that statement?

How would you prove that WaGriz Stadium is one of the finest stadiums in 1-AA? You couldn't. So does that mean that you should be heckled for not being able to prove it if you were to make such a claim?

It's subjective ... and there are no objective resources (like a government agency report, etc.) that one can use to validate that claim. So you're asking him to do the impossible ... just as it would be impossible for anyone to prove that anything is "one of the finest" of anything.

What he said was a completely reasonable statement ... why are you making a big deal out of it?

Do you have to be a dumbass all the time Bradley? WaGriz was named as one of the best facilities by other publications, not just the UM SID's office in a Press Release. Pull your head out of your ass, maybe you will learn something, but I doubt it. I would have been interested in a similar report about the track and field facilities. No one said shit about any governement report, except you. And of course, we all know ( or anyone show still reads your shit) that the only sources that ever count are the ones you cite. Don't you have to catch BART or something?

If you were interested in whether such a report existed, why didn't you just type "google.com" and look it up? No, you weren't honestly looking for that ... you were just pointlessly harassing the guy for daring the express an opinion that spoke positively about CSUS ... and an opinion that really isn't controversial ... it clearly is one of the finest T&F facilities out there. To demand support (and then razz a guy for not providing "it" for you) for an opinion like that is just bizarre

By the way, you might note that the press release he posted didn't make any claims about how the facility ranked -- it merely talked about the attributes of the facility.

He was trying to provide you with some quite objective information that supported his assertion that it was one of the finest facilities ... but apparently you didn't even read what he posted close enough to understand that. Instead, you just ignored it and kept needling him about something completely bizarre and pointless.

Now call me some names and make a few more silly personal slams about me ... that's the routine ... make it so.

This argument is getting ridiculous. As a Sac State alum, I think we should all just agree to disagree. Sac's facilities are definitely improving and are generally regarded as one of the better T&F venues in the country, but to be honest, if a UM fan came on our board and started making statements about the quality of their stadium, I would probably get irritated as well.

Your guys' board rocks because the fans are so passionate and actually know what they are talking about when it comes to BSC, so we come here to get our football fix.

As far as Kessman is concerned, I was one of the few Sac guys who thought our fans should lay off him initially. But now that he has left Montana, there is definitely something wrong with the dude. Without knowing much about the family, it looks like a classic case of a kid who is good at the sport but doesn't necessarily love it as much as perhaps his parents. Football was a way to get a free education, but when that fell through, the pressure was too much and he bailed for the third time in six months.

San Diego is a beautiful place and I hope he finds peace playing for fun. It might be the first time he's played football solely for the enjoyment in a long time.

Brad,

I don't need to name call. That was a just a little return fire from your last personal attack on me. Please deny that too, you can no longer edit that one. We all know you think you are a big shot on bobcat Nation, but you are catshit over here, so quit trying to act like you are the board police here too. Funny thing, you get accused of the very same shit over there that you pull here. Coincidence? I think not. Kadeezy has always been able to handle his own stuff, I bet he still can. Now go to BN and tell someone else how to think.

I know Hauck has gotten nailed for transfers before, but he evidently nailed this spring on the head. No money for either one. The lack of investment on Kessman seems smart. The linebacker from Norhern Colorado seems to have earned some money.

It would be nice if we could do that with all transfers, but the reality of the situation is that if we do that every year, we will lose more of the good players than we will keep the bad ones out. It is an impossible situation to be in as a coach. I don't envy coach Hauck. The only thing that will help him is that the admissions commitee will be more selective of who he wants to get in.
