Long Beach City College is embarking on an exciting $250 million redevelopment of its stadium. The decades-old Veterans Memorial Stadium will be replaced by a cutting-edge sports precinct that spans 18 acres. This new venue will feature a 10,000-seat outdoor stadium, an indoor arena, and specialized track and field facilities, along with dedicated football fields. With funding from Measure LB, the project is set to be unveiled in summer 2029.
