Penn State University’s Board of Trustees has given the go-ahead for the first phase of a planned four-year, $700-million renovation to Beaver Stadium, the school’s NCAA Division 1 football facility.
Approved May 4, the year-long $70-million project will target priority structural maintenance work, improved field lighting performance and insulation of pipes and other winterization work to allow the stadium to host revenue-generating events during the winter months, including potential college football playoff games. Construction is expected to begin in January 2025, following completion of Penn State’s 2024 football season.
