I love a good football field from above…
Ok…. yes three posts in one day! But I was right across the freeway and you know how I love a good straight down drone shot of a football field. Sea Foam Stadium went from a vision of the athletic department to a reality when Mr. Phil Fandrei’s generous donation of $5 million on behalf of Sea Foam Sales Co. moved the project forward. Upon Mr. Fandrei’s gift, the University was able to successfully fundraise the entire cost of Sea Foam Stadium on behalf of benefactor donations.
The stadium is a year-round, multi-purpose facility that the football, women's soccer and men's & women's track & field team call their official home. Meanwhile, virtually every student-athlete at Concordia has the opportunity to train at the facility year-round with the inflation of the Concordia Dome, a large bubble, over the field's Sprinturf artificial surface.
Sea Foam Stadium's capacity calls for 2,500 bleacher seats on the home sideline where the restrooms, concession stands and press box are located, while additional temporary bleachers are brought in each fall on the visitor sideline on the east end of the stadium.
With a listed capacity of 3,500-plus, the stadium's open design allows for a large number of standing room only spectators or expanded portable bleachers depending on the event needs.
Construction began with the demolition of existing buildings in early March, 2009 and progressed rapidly over the summer months. The artificial surface, Sprinturf, was placed in late June while the bleachers were being constructed. In 2019, CSP resurfaced the field with FieldTurf, adding the CSP logo to midfield and adding navy to the end zones.
