Despite the relative success of the women's soccer program, the program was still confined to George Allen Field. Men's volleyball head coach, Alan Knipe, had previously been in a similar situation with men's volleyball. Upon the completion of the Walter Pyramid, his program saw a sharp increase in recruiting and interest from prospects. This is the same situation that the women's soccer program was mired in and Knipe summed up the state of the field:
George Allen is our old football coach. That shows where our priority is with women's soccer.
— Alan Knipe, Daily 49er[1]
In early 2009, the Beach Legacy Referendum, which in part was due to give Long Beach State a new 3,000 to 5,000 seat stadium,[1] was defeated by the students with a vote of 3,912–2,615.[2]
Other uses
George Allen Field was used in the movie American Wedding, from the American Pie film series.
