Volunteers fans can look forward to an improved game day experience at Neyland Stadium in the future.
Tennessee’s Board of Trustees approved a $106 million renovations project Friday. The project, targeted for completion in 2019, will add bathrooms, extend aisle handrails, and shift the back wall of the stadium to meet NCAA standards, according to WVLT CBS Knoxville.
Funding will come from accumulated reserves ($15 million), donations ($10 million, pledged capital gifts ($21.3 million), and debt services secured by operating revenues ($59.7 million).
