Seating for 2025 & 2026 Seasons (West Side Only)
The West side of Beaver Stadium, construction began following the 2024 home football season. Temporary seating will be installed on the West side in phases over the 2025 and 2026 seasons and impacted season ticket holders will be able to choose seats in the new temporary seating or may select from any other available seats in the stadium. While location may change, no current season ticket holder will lose seats.
Given the work on the West side and changes to the seating bowl, seat upgrades and relocations will be extremely limited during the 2025 and 2026 seasons.
Interim Seasons
Yes, there will be temporary seating conditions in the upper sideline on the West side for the 2025 and 2026 seasons as construction takes place.
There will be temporary concessions and restrooms on the West side for the 2025 and 2026 seasons.
Parking
While we anticipate football game day parking and tailgating will not be limited during the stadium construction period, there may be minimal impacts across the construction site. The construction footprint will be expanded during the off-season but will shrink to accommodate football game day parking in-season.
Construction
Construction began in May 2024. Initial work on the West seating bowl is underway and will be conducted in stages into 2027.
Revitalizations to Beaver Stadium will be complete in time for the start of the 2027 football season.
