Illinois Revises Football Stadium Renovation Plans

Jason Scott Headshot

The University of Illinois is changing gears on a plan to renovate Memorial Stadium. Athletic Director Josh Whitman announced Tuesday that the $132 million plan that was proposed in October will be postponed, and the school will instead shift focus to a standalone football performance center.

The original plan called for a renovation of the south horseshoe of the stadium, and would have included an attached football training facility and grandstand. Whitman said that the decision was made after visiting football facilities at other schools, including Oregon, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Penn State, Texas A&M, Clemson, Kansas State and Tennessee, according to The Champagne News-Gazette.
