Veterans Memorial Stadium is getting “bowled in.”
After nearly six years of rumors and planning, the Troy University Athletics Department announced Thursday morning its official plans to build a new facility and scoreboard just behind the north end zone of the football stadium.
The structure will be over 67,000 square feet in size, and will provide new features for athletes, coaches and fans.
According to Troy Athletics, construction will begin this month following the Trojans’ final home game against Arkansas State, and a completion date has been set for Spring 2018.
