Construction on the University of Houston’s new football stadium is now underway. Design firms PageSoutherlandPage and DLR Group, as well as contractor Manhattan Construction and university staffers celebrated the project’s groundbreaking February 8 near downtown Houston.
The new facility will feature 40,000 seats, expandable to 60,000 in the future, and a specially coated corrugated metal exterior skin, with an opening on the stadium’s northwest side that will showcase the downtown Houston skyline.
