We are now “Civic Stadium Sports and Entertainment” and “Friends of Civic Stadium.”

Our “business side” has become Civic Stadium Sports and Entertainment (CSSE), working to develop a business plan to repurpose and manage the stadium as a venue for professional and local soccer and field sports. It will also be a venue for community events, festivals, concerts and other public gatherings.

Our “historic preservation side” is now Friends of Civic Stadium (FOCS), dedicated to spreading awareness of and cultivating the iconic history of the stadium. Committed to protecting and funding renovation, FOCS will gently but resolutely help maintain this Eugene jewel.

Please link back and forth between the two sites to keep abreast of developments in our efforts. Thank you for your interest and involvement.

CSSE and FOCS are 501c3 corporations, affiliated with Save Civic Stadium.
