“We are thrilled to begin the process of gathering input from Hoosier fans about a facility project that would transform how our fans enjoy Indiana Football gamedays,” Scott Dolson, IU Vice President and Director of Athletics said. “We’re excited to be able to partner on this project with Nations Group, which has the experience and market knowledge to help us inform a capital facility project of this magnitude.”

The university is planning major capital improvements to the stadium, it will be the third renovation project for Memorial Stadium since its completion in 1960. Memorial Stadium is the 10th largest stadium in the Big Ten with a capacity of 52,626.
