Competing in one of the top conferences on the West Coast requires a facility that can draw top student-athletes from not only across the country, but the world. A new home for Gaucho Tennis will enrich the local community and build a foundation for sustainable success for our tennis programs.
Over the last several years UCSB Baseball has committed over 2 million dollars in improvements to Ceasar Uyesaka Stadium. The focus of these improvements is the instillation of lights at CU Stadium to enable the Gauchos to play and practice at night under stadium light. Read more about the lights project here.
In addition to the instillation of lights there are several other improvements to Ceasar Uyesaka Stadium. New lower bowl seating for spectators, new standing bar tables, new safety nets, improved concessions space and seating and new landscaping have all been completed prior to the 2019-2020 season.
The future plans for Ceasar Uyesaka include: permanent spectator restrooms, new upper bowl spectator seating and potential turfing to portions of the playing field.
