The University of Tennessee wants to increase its budget by a combined $105.8 million for renovations to Neyland Stadium and Lindsey Nelson Stadium to account for rising labor, material and construction costs.
The UT Board of Trustees will vote on resolutions for both renovation plans on June 30 in Memphis.
On the heels of the Vols’ trip to the College World Series, UT plans to expand the capacity of Lindsey Nelson Stadium by more than 2,100 seats.
The cost of that project has almost doubled over the past year. UT has increased its Lindsey Nelson Stadium renovation budget by 69%,
