The Rutgers stadium complex will be receiving a makeover. The school’s Board of Governors announced that they have approved a $102 million expansion plan that will help to improve an already great stadium. The money for the project will be collected through the revenue received from ticket sales from the 56,000 new seats that will be part of the expansion. If a Rutgers student would like to watch a game, they can continue to do so free of charge. Expanding the stadium will not require public funds.
Besides the seat expansion, some of the other improvements that are planned for the stadium include a new entrance, concession stands, updated televisions, and an updated scoreboard.
The renovations should be completed by the fall of 2009.
For a school that has garnered a lot of unwelcome publicity over the past few months, I believe the expansion project will be a good thing for them. I believe that once the students and coaches of the school see what the new stadium has to offer, they will be very pleased. The new expansion project solidifies the school’s commitment to moving forward after overcoming difficult circumstances last year.
