This ambitious upgrade project, revealed Tuesday, is designed to enhance fan experience with faster Wi-Fi, state-of-the-art concession stands, and updated luxury suites. A significant portion of the investment will also go toward upgrading the stadium’s 13,000 square feet of LED screens, providing a more immersive viewing experience for spectators.
