STATE COLLEGE — Upgrades are planned for Beaver Stadium at Penn State University. The school announced plans today for “substantial renovations”, but the project won’t begin for another five years.
Beaver Stadium was constructed in 1960 and has been expanded seven times, most recently in 2001. The latest upgrades will include a significant increase in chairback seating, new concessions locations and food options, new restrooms, wider concourses and additional premium seating options. Once the renovations are complete, Beaver Stadium will have a capacity of at least 100,000, maintaining its stature as one of the nation’s largest facilities.
Penn State also plans to build a new indoor practice facility and make improvements to its swimming, tennis and soccer facilities. A cost is not yet known for the upgrades. (Ali Stevens)
