Scaffolding appeared at Valley Children’s Stadium on August 15, indicating ongoing improvements beyond new branding elements for the Bulldogs’ September season. Bulldog Sports Enterprises, the multimedia rights partner, has been involved in sprucing up the venue for six weeks. Previously, on August 10, The Wonderful Co. detailed plans to place its Wonderful Pistachios, Wonderful Halos, and Pom Wonderful brands on the uniforms of all 18 Fresno State athletic programs.
