Key Takeaways

• The project is anchored by an 1.3 million-square-foot venue that will incorporate 21,000 pieces of structural steel and a substantial volume of concrete, with stadia precast elements forming the building's bones.
• A central feature is a five-level canopy in the final stages of construction, designed to shed snow, enhance acoustics, and house perforated panels that regulate wind and air flow while supporting hidden speaker systems and a video board.
• A separate technology building on the south end will house the stadium’s IT infrastructure, enabling centralized control and easier future expansion without crowding space inside the main venue.
• Grass field technology will allow growth and maintenance through sub-air irrigation, wireless field heating, hydronic heating, and grow lights to sustain turf in cold months, with a transition to the new surface planned for March
• Utility installation is being precisely mapped with GPS across underground networks and approximately 1,300 miles of wiring to ensure accurate placement and fault avoidance before live operation.
• Connectivity upgrades include a digital antenna system to improve cell coverage and Wi-Fi, addressing long-standing fan complaints and aiming for a seamless, stadium-wide signal.
• Entry experience is set to improve through walk-through magnetometers, enabling smoother security screening and reducing bottlenecks as gates open for large crowds.
