The University of Mississippi will expand its baseball stadium to add premium seating, according to a report Monday.
The $30 million project will add 450 to 500 seats down the third base line.
There will also be a new stadium entrance and plaza that will include a statue of former Ole Miss player Tim Elko, according to the report.
Construction is expected to begin following the 2024 season.
