Overall Project Questions

  • What is planned for Williams-Brice Stadium? Toggle content

    The current project focuses on the West, North and East Sides of Williams-Brice Stadium. Among the renovations and improvements being targeted in the project are additional premium areas, student section upgrades, locker room renovations, concourse improvements including concessions and restrooms, and back-of-house additions to better serve customers in the stadium.

  • Why is the project needed? Toggle content

    We want to continue to deliver the best possible gameday experience to all of our fans. While significant renovations to Williams-Brice Stadium have been made in recent years, these new projects will aim to provide a gameday experience that is unprecedented in college athletics. Currently, Williams-Brice Stadium lags behind its SEC peers in offering premium seating and in stadium upgrades. The new premium spaces will generate much-needed revenue to not only help cover construction costs, but to reinvest into our athletic programs. The project will also help the University attract major events, including concerts and international events. This ambitious and transformational project serves the University’s mission and vision and is another example of our comprehensive pursuit of excellence. The reimagining of the stadium—in combination with the proposed retail, dining and lodging district immediately adjacent—will provide a huge economic boost to our community and will help us reinvest into priorities across campus.

  • When will construction begin? Toggle content

    This project will be a multi-year project. Phase 1 construction began in December following the conclusion of the 2025 football season. Phase 2 construction will begin in December following the conclusion of the 2026 football season. There is no expectation at this time that any games will have to be relocated from Williams-Brice Stadium as a result of construction.

  • What is the cost of the project and how will it be funded? Toggle content

    Initial estimates are approximately $350 million for the renovation. Funding will primarily come from capital gifts, premium seating sales and licensing, and related annual revenue.

  • What improvements were completed in Phase 1 of Williams-Brice Reimagined? Toggle content

    Phase 1 improvements included upgrades to stadium circulation, concessions, restrooms and the student experience at The Cockpit

  • Does the Williams-Brice Stadium Project have any impact on the potential riverfront development? Toggle content

    This ambitious and transformational project serves the University’s mission and vision and is another example of our comprehensive pursuit of excellence. The reimagining of the stadium—in combination with the proposed retail, dining and lodging district immediately adjacent—will provide a huge economic boost to our community and will help us reinvest into priorities across campus. All of these projects in totality should position us well for the future once completed.
