Construction of the new stadium began in April of 2007, with completion slated for October 2008. The 19-month construction schedule is aggressive, considering the size and scope of the project, managed by the Layton/Turner joint venture. Field irrigation and drainage systems are now complete, and the playing surface is nearly through a 60-day growing schedule following installation, allowing the turf to establish its root structure before becoming playable. Seating placement inside the main bowl is virtually complete, while glass installation and suite and locker room finish work is ongoing. The structural steel support for the main video scree and scoreboard, in the North End, is complete, with the raising and testing of the highly-anticipated Daktronics videoboard and 200-foot LED ribbon board on the East and West sides currently ongoing.
