Before Aggie Stadium Prior to becoming a
Division 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 at
Moreing Field and
Sacramento Stadium. In 1932, the Cal Aggies would begin playing home games at A Street Field, near where the current
Toomey 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). The first game, was on November 18th of that year and was a 12-3 victory over
Chico State. The record for attendance was set on November 12,
1977, with 12,800 for a 37–21 victory over
Nevada. In 1962 the stadium was renamed in honor of
Crip 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). 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.
New Division, New Stadium The stadium was originally scheduled for completion in time for the
2006 football season, but due to owner requested changes the stadium did not open until
2007. In the first sporting event held in the new stadium, the UCD women's lacrosse team beat
St. Mary's 17–5 on April 1, and Aggie sophomore Patrice Clark scored the first goal. Its first football game was on September 1 against
Western Washington; the Aggies lost 28–21. As part of a partnership with the UC Davis Health System, announced at the Causeway Classic Luncheon on November 15, 2018, 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 student-athlete performance center and practice field, and 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. ==Features==
