The University of Memphis and the City of Memphis have announced plans to pursue a $150-200 million renovation to Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium to revitalize and modernize the home of Memphis Tiger Football.
Priority elements of the wide-ranging project include:
- A transformation of the stadium’s west side, providing several innovative premium seating options
- Creating a hospitality experience within the halo space surrounding the stadium
- Other new seating options, such as family boxes on the north end and party deck patios for students on the south end
- A potential repurpose and retrofit of the east side suite tower
This renovation hits every transformational goal we began the process with:
- Optimize our position in the rapidly evolving landscape of intercollegiate athletics in a more manageable and efficient timeframe
- Demonstrate our commitment to sustainable competitive and recruiting success
- Provide a tremendous, upgraded fan experience
- Secure positive long-term economic impacts for our University and City
The goal for completion of the project is prior to the 2025 football season.
