A new era of California track & field also began in 2000 when the Golden Bears returned to campus at Edwards Stadium/Goldman Field after a year away while the facility underwent a $3.5 million renovation project. With a seating capacity of 22,000, Edwards Stadium for years had the distinction of being the largest exclusive track & field facility in the United States.
The improvements for Edwards Stadium were spearheaded by a lead gift of $1.5 million from alumni Richard and Rhoda Goldman. In recognition of their tremendous contribution, the field at the stadium was renamed Goldman Field in honor of Richard's father, Richard Samuel Goldman ('09).
