It was late June in 2015 when Fresno State unveiled plans to renovate Bulldog Stadium, its aging football venue, with a $60 million project that would add tunnels and a cross-aisle to ease access into and around the seating bowl and a three-level west side tower that included new suites, a stadium club and press box.
The university and athletic department worked that plan for more than two years, but in January abruptly shifted focus to improvements to the Duncan Building and student-athlete village, which includes the Ricchiuti Academic Center, Meyers Family Sports Medicine Center and a strength and conditioning center.
