Razorbacks look to move forward on football expansion

FAYETTEVILLE — The University of Arkansas is set to move forward in its plans to expand Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

The UA Board of Trustees will be asked this week to vote whether to allow the Razorbacks to seek full designs and full cost estimates, and to begin fundraising efforts for the project. Updated cost estimates value the expansion at $160 million.

That is up from a preliminary cost estimate of $95 million in the Razorbacks' 2011 facilities master plan.

The renovation would include adding more seating to the north side of the stadium, which currently has no seating.
