Frank will make a decision on building a new, on-campus stadium after the final Stadium Advisory Committee meeting delivers their feasibility study on August 9. This event is open to the public.
According to a spring article in the Collegian:
Athletics Director Jack Graham said the process of determining the feasibility of the stadium is about 95 percent done.
The aspects of the proposal which have been completed, according to Graham, include site selection, between Pitkin and Laurel; cost, now estimated at $250 million; and some factors of design.
Aspects that still need work include making sure the design will not surpass the proposed budget of $250 million and looking into whether upgrading Hughes Stadium is feasible.
