According to Tracy Ham, the Associate Athletic Director for Internal Operations, the construction will bring in a new student entrance coming in from the campus. The lobby area will be extended outward for ticketing booths and the addition of new bathrooms. The bleachers inside the stadium will extend to the floor in order to allow fans to easily move in and out of the facility safer and more efficiently.
“We wanted to make some change for our students. We think about our students, because the students are our biggest fan base at games,” Ham said.
According to the International Building Code (IBC), an accessible means of egress, or an unobstructed path to exit the building, must be provided.
