UC Davis Unveils $265 Million ‘Aggie Ascent’ Athletics Plan Ahead of Mountain West Move

The phased initiative relies on private donations with fundraising yet to start.

Overview

  • The master plan targets $265 million in donor-funded upgrades anchored by a $50 million stadium expansion, a $14.5 million track rebuild, and an $18.7 million golf training center.
  • As of the announcement, no funds have been raised, and construction timelines will depend on gifts and approvals.
  • Initial work begins at UC Davis Health Stadium with a press box renovation, followed by new premium seating, suites, and a year-round event space to boost revenue.
  • Facility features include an NCAA-compliant eight-lane track with west-facing seating and a golf center with a 350-yard range, short-game areas, and public access.
  • The facilities push is tied to UC Davis shifting most sports to the Mountain West in 2026, while football remains in the Big Sky for now.
