California State University Monterey Bay Stadium Expanded Use Project

California State University Monterey Bay Stadium Expanded Use Project

The CSUMB Stadium Expanded Use Project proposes an expansion of existing programming at the CSUMB Stadium by CSUMB and the Monterey Bay Football Club (MBFC) and the construction and operation of two (2) new locker room facilities, two (2) new restroom buildings, and a gated event staging area just north of the stadium. The underlying purpose of the proposed project is to modernize and enhance the existing stadium to function as a flexible, multipurpose venue that better supports CSUMB's academic and athletic programs while accommodating expanded use, including partnerships with external organizations such as professional athletic entities (e.g., United Soccer League). The expanded programming of CSUMB Stadium would allow CSUMB to host the men's and women's California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Championship tournaments and the NCAA Division II National Championships. CSUMB would also host the following non-athletic events: Latinx Affinity Ceremonies for graduating students; Monte's 5k and post-race event; new student fall convocation; Otter Cross Cultural Center (OC3) affinity celebration; fall welcome concert; a spring concert; the Relay for Life; and up to 25 other university-related events. Additionally, the project would allow the CSUMB Stadium to host three (3) new teams under the oversight of the MBFC (the existing professional team that is engaged in a 14-year Facilities Shared-Use Agreement with CSUMB): one (1) USL League Two (Men's Amateur), one (1) USL Super League (Women's Pro), and one (1) USL W League (Women's Amateur). The project would accommodate games associated with these teams, totaling 18 events over 18 days for the USL Super League and 12 events over 10 days each for the USL League Two and USL W League. The CSUMB Stadium would also host other MBFC events, including a 28-day Winter Festival and up to 20 weekend concerts annually, with a maximum of 6,000 attendees. Proposed new facilities include the following: 1. Men's & Women's Locker Room and Shower Facility. Two (2) permanent 1,400-sf locker room facilities would be constructed. One (1) facility would replace the existing portable showers utilized by the men's teams and would be built at the stadium entrance northwest of the field house. Another facility would be constructed to accommodate the women's teams southwest of the field house. 2. Permanent Restroom Facilities. Two (2) permanent restroom buildings, each approximately 1,000 sf, would be constructed within the existing beer garden area to replace the existing 36 portable facilities. 3. Storage and Staging Area. A new 1.25-acre dedicated storage and staging area would be established north of the stadium to support event operations, equipment storage, and logistical needs. No permanent construction of any structures besides fencing is planned for this site.
