The University hired HNTB to develop a phased master program for the expansion/renovation of all their athletic and recreational facilities and to ultimately provide complete design services to renovate and expand historic Michigan Stadium. This $170 million project includes the addition of two 530’ long, multi-story structures on both the east and west sides of the stadium that will contain improved fan amenities, new restrooms and concessions, club seats, suites, and press facilities. Two new elevated concourses will be added on both sides of the stadium to improve access and safety. Other improvements to the stadium will include widening existing aisles and seats, adding handrails, and adding dedicated seating for fans with impaired mobility. Construction will be phased over three football seasons.
