Sun Bowl Stadium will get a multimillion-dollar upgrade to bring it in line with current standards, officials announced Friday.

Nestled in the Franklin Mountains, the 55-year-old Sun Bowl is one of college football's most unique settings, both for the University of Texas at El Paso football team and the post-season bowl whose name the venue bears.

What the stadium has needed for some time, according to UTEP officials, is an update.
