Once in a lifetime opportunity! Lunch and a tour of the Cal Stadium construction project. Four people will experience an "insider's" view of this major renovation project led by the project manager. Lunch for four is included in this fabulous package.

The historic, 1923 stadium sits on top of an active earthquake fault, the Hayward Fault, and could be torn apart by a major rupture. Using novel designs, the stadium is being rebuilt so that parts of it will actually be mobile, moving with the shifting earth when a rupture occurs. A massive renovation project at historic California Memorial Stadium is uniting the expertise of seismic engineers and campus experts to make sure that if the Big One strikes, Call football fans and student-athletes are inside a safe, state-or-the-art and modern facility. Design features of the stadium, which straddles the Hayward Fault, will include concrete "seismic blocks" at the end zones to keep fans from rocking as a quake rolls, a press box that can sway up to 12 inches in a large-scale tremor, and schock absorbers to prevent the box from crashing into the western seating bowl. Everything except the outer wall and the eastern seating bowl of the nearly 90-year-old structure, designed by world-famous architect John Galen Howard to resemble the Roman Colosseum, is being rebuilt from the ground up. The renovated stadium is scheduled to reopen in fall of 2012.
