Whittier District to dedicate new 7,000-seat football stadium
A new 7,000-seat football stadium on the campus of California High in Whittier will be unveiled on Friday during a dedication of the athletic complex.
The Whittier Union High School District is naming it “Sandra Sanchez Thorstenson Stadium” in honor of the former superintendent who retired in June after 39 years with the district.
The $20 million project includes a 22-acre sports complex, with baseball and softball fields, an all-weather track, soccer practice areas and refurbished outdoor basketball and volleyball courts.
The stadium will serve as the home field for the football teams at California, Whittier and La Serna. The ceremony will take place at 4 p.m. on Friday.
