Do you support your local school district investing heavily in new athletic stadium facilities?

Clovis South High School will unveil a new football stadium on October 16, 2026, marking the third such facility for the Clovis Unified School District. The stadium serves as the centerpiece of the ongoing $600 million Terry P. Bradley Educational Center project.

Why it matters

The new stadium is designed to address logistical challenges in the district by eliminating the need for Thursday night football games. This expansion supports the growing campus at the Terry P. Bradley Educational Center, which will continue to scale its grade levels through 2028.

The stadium features 3,686 seats and is part of a larger 170-acre campus development that has a total budget of $600 million. This facility is now the third stadium within the Clovis Unified School District.
