Opened as Aggie Stadium on April 1, 2007, the venue currently seats 10,743 for football. It replaced the 10,000 seatToomey Field and is the home to theUC Davis Aggiesfootball of theBig Sky Conference and women's lacrosse team of theBig 12. Plans call for the stadium to eventually be built out to 30,000 seats.[3]
Theartificial turf playing field is namedJim Sochor Field, after the Aggie'sCollege Football Hall of Fame coach of the same name. It is aligned north-south at an approximateelevation of 55 feet (17 m) abovesea level.
Prior to becoming aDivision I school, UC Davis played at various venues throughout Yolo and Sacramento Counties. For several years after the founding of the football program in 1915, the football team played in Sacramento, specifically atMoreing Field andSacramento Stadium.
In 1932, the Cal Aggies would begin playing home games at A Street Field, near where the currentToomey Field stands. In 1949, a permanent football and track and field stadium would be built, with permanent seating to be 10,011 (expandable to 12,800).[4] The first game, was on November 18th of that year and was a 12-3 victory overChico State. The record for attendance was set on November 12,1977, with 12,800 for a 37–21 victory overNevada. In 1962 the stadium was renamed in honor ofCrip Toomey who served as athletic director at UC Davis from 1928 until his death in 1961. The Aggie's all time record at Toomey Field stands was 192–86–7 (.686).[5]
Toomey Field continues to be the home for the UC Davis Aggies Track and Field teams, and alongside UC Davis Health Stadium, is slated to receive a major renovation.
The stadium was originally scheduled for completion in time for the2006 football season, but due to owner requested changes the stadium did not open until2007.[6]
In the first sporting event held in the new stadium, the UCD women's lacrosse team beatSt. Mary's 17–5 on April 1, and Aggie sophomore Patrice Clark scored the first goal. Its first football game was on September 1 againstWestern Washington; the Aggies lost 28–21.[7]
As part of a partnership with the UC Davis Health System, announced at the Causeway Classic Luncheon on November 15, 2018,[8] the facility was renamed UC Davis Health Stadium on August 1,2019, for a period of 20 years. Along with this development, announced with plans for a 38,000-square-foot (3,500 m2) student-athlete performance center and practice field, and 16,000 square feet (1,500 m2) of the Bob Foster Team Center, located behind the north end zone, will be renovated.
In November 2025, UC Davis announced a $50 million renovation to the stadium. The renovation will include six suites plus loge and club seating as well as concourse and press box renovations. These renovations also include a new 8,500-square-foot banquet space for 500 guests, with catering kitchen, two bars and restrooms.[1]
The Tavernetti Bell, also known as the "Victory Bell," greets fans entering Aggie Stadium. The bell is named after Thomas Tavernetti (1889–1934) and is rung once for every point scored after an Aggie victory. With the construction of Aggie Stadium, the bell followed from its previous location at Toomey Field.[9]
