Hornet Stadium, College football stadium in Sacramento, United States
Hornet Stadium is an American football venue on the Sacramento State University campus that holds roughly 21,000 spectators. The facility features a modern playing surface and includes a connected fieldhouse with training areas, locker rooms, and administrative offices.
The facility opened in 1969 and gained national attention in 1993 when it hosted the first Canadian Football League game played on American soil. The venue has undergone updates since then to support the university's athletic programs.
The stadium takes its name from the Sacramento State Hornets and serves as a gathering place for the campus community. Game days bring together students, staff, and locals who come to support their university team.
The venue sits within the university campus and is accessible by car or public transportation with parking areas nearby. Arriving early before events helps you find convenient parking and explore the grounds without rushing.
The grounds hosted a cross-border sporting moment that connected Canadian and American fans in an unexpected way. Few realize this historic event helped bridge professional sports ties between the two nations.
