Expansion plans

Santa Clara University has recently announced plans to renovate and expand Buck Shaw Stadium into a venue better suited for the university's soccer programs. Like baseball's new Schott Stadium, Buck Shaw will have a sand based field that drains water quickly enough to play games shortly after rainstorms. The total price tag of the renovation is expected to exceed $15 million dollars.

"After the 2005 season, tentative plans are in place to resurface the playing field and move it 50 feet towards the entrance, which will allow for a full-size practice field, a luxury the Broncos do not currently have. Following the 2006 season, construction on new seating will begin. There are plans to add new grandstands to both sides of the field, to reconfigure the lights specifically for soccer and to refurbish the concession area." --Jeremy Herb, The Santa Clara (link)
