A prominent Conejo Valley resident and Ventura County real estate developer has donated $5 million for a new football stadium at California Lutheran University.

The $8 million facility to be named after donor William Rolland will have more than 3,000 seats, and includes locker rooms, coaching offices, meeting rooms, a press box, VIP lounge and a clock tower.

Rolland’s donation is the largest single gift in the history of the Thousand Oaks university.

“I’m so pleased to be able to contribute to the growth of CLU in this lasting way,” said Rolland. “This is one of the most exciting ventures I’ve ever undertaken.”

William Rolland Stadium will be located on the north campus adjacent to other new sports facilities. Construction begins this summer and will be completed in time for the 2011 football season
