The project features a reconfigured bowl to enhance sight lines and seating, introducing new private boxes, clubs, and party decks. The expanded concourse includes additional amenities, and locker rooms are upgraded alongside advanced sports medicine facilities with hydrotherapy. Modern classrooms and dedicated study areas for student-athletes are integrated, emphasizing a commitment to both athletic and academic excellence.
