Stanford Stadium Construction Advisory - Construction is Complete

Stanford Stadium Construction to begin on Monday, November 28.

On Monday, November 28, 2005, construction of the New Stanford Stadium will begin. The goal of the stadium construction schedule is to complete the entire project during the off-season in time to open the new stadium prior to the Cardinal's first home game in September 2006. To accomplish this, an accelerated construction schedule, including nighttime work, was approved by the County of Santa Clara. Construction is scheduled to occur Monday through Saturday between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 11:30 p.m.

The Stanford Stadium will be closed for all uses during construction. The first two weeks of activity include demolition of the existing stadium, excavation and utility work.

Mitigation Program

A comprehensive mitigation program intended to protect the surrounding environment during construction will include: Stanford Area Truck Route Map, minimization of truck hauling during peak commute hours, night lighting requirements, dust control, landscaping protection, and other measures. Construction activity will conform to the County of Santa Clara Noise Ordinance.

Community Coordination

Stanford is committed to ongoing communication throughout construction. Construction advisories and web site updates are planned to keep community members informed about project activities.

Stanford recognizes that the construction activities affect those who live, work, and travel in and around the Stanford Stadium. One of our primary goals is to be a good neighbor and to minimize disruption to the community. We appreciate your patience and cooperation during construction.
