Thought this was all announced and discussed months ago.

The new north end zone in Delaware Stadium. This includes a new indoor practice facility, locker room and coaches offices. It's a $100 million project that will go public soon.

As a Liberty fan who lives in PA, I look forward to attending a few Delaware/Liberty games just over an hour away.

That’s a nice looking addition.

Very nice indeed. The TUB always has the potential to be a terrific venue. Great to see it getting sme much needed investment.

Thanks. I hope you're right. Personally, I'm thrilled to see all of us making these kins of upgrades. Given where we are today, with TV viewership up but attendance down seemingly everywhere, it's got to be about improving the fan experience at the game.

Looks like PRESS BOX/ Harbaugh Club expansion has begun at WKU.


Once that is finished--they will start on the new IPF/ Fieldhouse.

Live webcam takes a photo every five minutes. Lighting will be better earlier in the day.

What will be the capacity now with no wings? Either way the two enclosed endzones will give the stadium a legit feel even without being a bowl..

My recollection from the 80's (sorry, I'm an oldie) is that the stadium originally sat 23,000, plus or minus, in the original 1968-1988 configuration. I assume if the wings are removed capacity would revert to that number plus what's been added with the SEZ and with the new press box and suites. Honestly, we don't need 30k seats ever, but having a capacity in the 25-28k range I think is about right so adding seats in the NEZ makes a ton of sense.

Our SAPC is supposed to have steel installed next week.

New Press/ VIP BOX is about half done. Will be ready by August--along with brand new turf for the football field.

Soon after full construction begins on the IPF.
