SAN LUIS OBISPO — The gates will open at the Cal Poly Partners Plaza on Saturday, Oct. 5, and usher in the latest enhancement to Alex G. Spanos Stadium at Cal Poly; the plaza, the latest project of the Cal Poly Partners, will open with a ribbon cutting and celebration at 3:30 p.m.

The Cal Poly community is invited to join the celebration with the Cal Poly Marching Band, cheerleaders and a ribbon cutting before the Homecoming game against Idaho State. The first 200 visitors will receive a gift.

“The Cal Poly Partners Plaza will offer Mustang fans a top tier experience in Spanos Stadium,” said Cal Poly Partners CEO Cody VanDorn. “Not only will it be a great complement to the other stadium improvements, such as the John Madden Football Center under construction in the south endzone, but it creates a multi-purpose venue to host concerts and live events. We are excited to invite the community to celebrate with us.”

Cal Poly Partners Plaza, a 14,200-square-foot tiered hospitality area behind the north endzone, is made up of three separate and distinct terraces. Each terrace has an amazing field view that creates a continuous connection to the action on the field.

The plaza features two food and beverage concessions as well as a third stand-alone beverage cart, alongside 1,200 square feet of picnic-style seating and terraced viewing areas.

On top of being open for athletic events and concerts, the plaza will provide another space for campus community members to gather and eat throughout the academic year. The food venues will be open Monday through Thursday to offer dining options on west side of campus.

The plaza also offers exclusive, private hospitality spaces, customizable catering and beverage service, and a turnkey VIP experience for company picnics and employee or corporate events.
