It opened in 1949 and was home to the University of California, Davis Aggies football team through the 2006 season. The first game, on November 18, 1949, was a 12–3 victory over Chico State. The record for attendance at the stadium was set on November 12, 1977 with 12,800 for a 37–21 victory over Nevada. The Aggies all-time record on Toomey Field was 192–86–7 (.686).
Originally named Aggie Field, the stadium was renamed to "Toomey Field" in 1962 in honor of Irving F. "Crip" Toomey, who served as Director of Athletics at UC Davis from 1929 until his death in 1961. Toomey graduated from UC Davis in 1923 and also served as the Aggies' basketball coach (1929–36) and football coach (1928–36).
The stadium was replaced by Aggie Stadium as the Aggies' home football stadium in 2007. It is now home to only the UC Davis track and field team.
Famous quotes containing the word field:
“Because mothers and daughters can affirm and enjoy their commonalities more readily, they are more likely to see how they might advance their individual interests in tandem, without one having to be sacrificed for the other.”
