Champaign- Memorial Stadium Renovation

The concourse areas on all four sides of the stadium will be improved with better concession and restroom facilities. Additionally, the concourse areas will be connected all the way around the stadium for easier passage between the east and west stands. A permanent, 10,000-seat structure has been built on the north end of the stadium, and the existing scoreboard and video replay screen was moved to the south endzone. The south horseshoe is planned to be filled in down to field level, and will completely connect the east and west stands. The horseshoe improvements will increase seating to 14,000 seats behind the south end zone. The capacity of the west stands will be significantly reduced in order to build a large press box and luxury suite area at the top of the balcony. The new boxes will be three levels tall and will extend the entire length of the field. The new capacity of the stadium after the renovation will be 65,143. This $100 million project will be largely paid for by sales of the stadium’s new suites and luxury seating in the west stands.

It began in February, but that was mostly the demolition of the old seats and press box. Now we are seeing the construction of the new modern press box and other add ins the put this stadium on the map once again.

The renovation includes-
* Luxury suites on the west side
* Enlarged press box
* Permanent seating in the north end zone
* Improved site-lines due to a lowered playing field
* Re-built south horseshoe
* Wider aisles
* Upgrades to concession stands, restrooms, and both Great Halls
