A look at the plan, timeline and budget for Penn State's massive renovation of Beaver Stadium, home of the Nittany Lions.
Penn State's Board of Trustees recently toured Beaver Stadium, the 64-year-old home of Penn State football, and some were shocked by its condition. One trustee called the tour "eye-opening." Another was "embarrassed."
So what's Penn State's plan, timeline and budget for Beaver Stadium? Here's the FAQ about what we know. Beaver Stadium's West side will undergo the most substantial change. Basically, it's being demolished and replaced. First, the press box and upper deck of the West stands will come down in 2025. Penn State will replace the lower bowl in 2026. The West side will house club seats, loge boxes and suites.
Phase 3 begins in 2026, when the lower-bowl seating on the West side will be removed and replaced with club seating. The entire project is scheduled for completion in time for the 2027 college football season.Penn State has not released an official capacity, but Kraft said Beaver Stadium's seating would remain above 100,000 after the renovation. Capacity currently is 106,572. During Tuesday's board meeting, one trustee referenced Beaver Stadium losing about 900 seats to the renovation.
