The plaintiffs, Residents Ad Hoc Stadium Committee, David Troehler, Don Gennuso, and Ruth Albright, appeal from a judgment which found that an environmental impact report (EIR) adequately supported the decision of defendants, Trustees of the California State University and Colleges (Trustees), which approved and authorized construction of an athletic stadium located in the northwest area of the campus of California State University at Fresno (CSUF). The proposed site at the southwest corner of the intersection of Barstow and Cedar Avenues in Fresno was acquired by the university in 1958 and 1959. At the time of acquisition, the area was surrounded largely by open agricultural land. At the time the EIR was prepared, the surrounding area was developed residentially with single family homes, apartments, sorority and fraternity houses, and the CSUF campus.
