SBCC sets date for La Playa Stadium closure

Santa Barbara City College has announced that La Playa Stadium will be closed for four weeks, June 29 – July 31, for needed surface repair to the college’s track. For safety reasons, the closure includes all entrances to the stadium with no access to the stadium steps.

“Because of extensive use and challenges we are facing with the foundation of the track in specific areas, we are going to be doing widespread repairs and then resurfacing the entire track,” said Ryan Byrne, SBCC Athletic Director.

He added, “The four-week closure of La Playa Stadium will only be a short-term measure and once completed, we will have the same system as many of the top competitive venues in the country.”
