UC Davis Announces $265M in Sports Facilities Upgrades
UC Davis announced Wednesday a major push to upgrade its athletics facilities as the school's sports programs prepare to join the Mountain West Conference.
In total, the school says $265 million in privately funded upgrades are the goal of the master plan – named "Aggie Ascent." As of Wednesday, no money has been raised for the project yet.
"As we transition into the Mountain West Conference, Aggie Ascent is about more than facilities — it's about aligning with the future of Division I athletics," said Rocko DeLuca, director of Athletics, in a statement.
New Tower Park Athletic Complex Comes Together in a Most Fort Thomas Way
There’s a simple reason that Fort Thomas Schools Superintendent Brian Robinson could say with such certitude that “this is just another reason why this is the greatest city in the Commonwealth.”
Because Robinson was standing in it – and on it.
This $19 million athletic complex the Fort Thomas folks were dedicating Wednesday evening on the old fort property was everything they hoped it would be when they broke ground for it just 15 months ago.
“A great day to be a Bluebird,” Robinson said, “a great day to be a member of the Bluebird Nation.”
He would get no argument from the 500 or so locals of all ages who made it here despite the mile-long line traffic backup and ugly weather.
