UA board gives final approval to stadium expansion

The University of Arkansas System trustees on Thursday voted to approve up to a $120 million bond issue to fund an expansion and upgrades at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville.

The measure, which was approved in committee Wednesday, passed the full board Thursday morning with two trustees voting against: David Pryor of Little Rock and Cliff Gibson of Monticello.

The stadium project, which is expected to total $160 million, will enclose the north end zone while also adding new premium seating.
