Track Renovation Summary Renovation work on our track officially began on May 1st, and the project is now in full demolition mode. The work is being completed by Dwenger Excavating, and favorable weather over the past two weeks has allowed for steady and substantial progress. Key updates include: Visitor Bleachers Relocated: The visitor bleachers have been moved back and are now centered on the 50-yard line, providing fans with an improved viewing experience and better sightlines of the field and track. New Football Lighting Installed: The new lighting system, provided by Musco Sports Lighting, features Total Light Control (TLC for LED) technology. These state-of-the-art lights are now fully operational, offering improved energy efficiency, visibility, and a professional-level game night atmosphere. Track Removal Completed: The old track surface has been entirely removed, preparing the site for upcoming phases of construction. Cement Stabilization Next: Crews will soon begin cement stabilization, an essential foundation step before installing the new track surface. We are excited about the transformation underway and are committed to keeping our community informed as we continue improving our athletic facilities for current and future Bison athletes.
