AMES, Iowa Iowa State's Athletics Department received a green light from the Board of Regents, State of Iowa, in June of 2007 to proceed with a $19.5 million renovation to Jack Trice Stadium. The plan, which includes 24 new suites on the west side of the stadium and a renovation and expansion of existing club seats on the east side of the facility, received unanimous support from the Regents. The final approval came after Iowa State shared an updated project description and financial plan to the Regents. That renovation will be the first of a two-part renovation to Jack Trice Stadium. In addition, the athletics program will also continue its fundraising efforts to build a basketball and volleyball practice facility and renovate Hilton Coliseum.
The first phase of the stadium project will begin immediately following the completion of the 2007 season and will be finished by the start of the 2008 campaign.

Jack Trice Stadium - Phase I
The first part of the renovation to Jack Trice Stadium includes creation of 22 new suites and the expansion of two existing suites on the west side of the stadium including the installation of operable windows in all of the current suites widening the west side concourse and increasing the number of restrooms and concession stands, creating new and improved disabled seating sections on the west side and completely overhauling the club section on the east side. Funding of the project will come completely from the sale of stadium suites, club seats, increased ticket revenues and fundraising.
