Athletic Director Gladstone will be announcing the details of the upcoming stadium reconstruction any day now. Having visited other UCs over the break, I have a newfound appreciation for the beauty of Memorial Stadium. Right on campus, great view, one of the best in the nation.

Although Cal athletic director Steve Gladstone had expected to announce construction plans for the renovation of Memorial Stadium by Jan. 1, he said Tuesday that it will be delayed indefinitely while his administration puts the finishing touches on the planning stage.

Gladstone said the project, which could exceed $100 million in order to improve the aging stadium while modernizing the university's training facilities, is right on schedule in all other aspects.

Looks like Coach Tedford got the updated training facilities he's been itching for.

Gladstone said he didn't want to discuss specifics of the renovation at this time. He did say the plans are about 75 percent complete. In addition to the stadium improvement, there will be new locker, weight and meeting rooms.

Unfortunately, while undergoing renovation the team will have to play elsewhere. Candlestick? Email This Post!
