Husky Stadium plans moving forward
Posted by Bob Condotta
A minor but necessary step in the process of renovating Husky Stadium was taken today when the Board of Regents approved $3 million to spend on a pre-development plan.
You can read a little story I wrote about it for the paper here.
In essence, the athletic department has been okayed to give $3 million to whichever of two development firms it is negotiating with to draw up some schematics for a renovation of the stadium as well as a football operations support building.
You can read the actual document detailing what was approved today here.
Any actual renovation of the stadium is contingent on getting $150 million in state money (and you'll see that's exactly how UW refers to the money in page two of this document --- if it has to be approved by the state, it's state money). But the action today was made to make sure UW was ready to go once/if/when that approval comes.
The $3 million approved to be spent today will come from the general athletic department budget and was actually set aside during while Todd Turner was still AD, as it was known that this would be a necessary step in the process.
As you can read in the document, UW will need $300 million to complete the project. It plans to raise the other $150 million itself.
