New Football Stadium

New construction of Stanford’s 50,848 seat football stadium. Demolition started after the end of the 2005 football season and continued during the winter to complete the work in a record 294 days.

The upscale stadium puts fans closer to the field. The lower concourse houses more concessions with greater variety and more restrooms. Areas surrounding the concessions have flat panel monitors and sound is distributed throughout the stadium so no one misses the action. The lower concourse also features an uninhibited view of the field.

A four level skybox was built with consists of luxury suites, press boxes and suites for season ticket holders.

The only thing that remains from the old stadium is one scoreboard and the elevator to the skyboxes, the rest was demolished. The earthern berm surrounding the stadium was resculpted to the new stadium shape with an additional 260,000 tons of dirt adding 150 redwoods and 20 new oak trees. Natural grass was used for the infield in lieu of astro turf.

Three new access tunnels were added to allow easier access, seating was changef from wooden benches to plastic seat belachers with back rests and a family gathering area was added to the north end zone under the scoreboard.
