What’s Inside the $5.3 Billion Transformation?
Expanded Seating Capacity: With over 120,000 seats, Beaver Stadium is now the largest college football stadium in the nation, offering more fans than ever a front-row seat to the action.
Futuristic Technology: From augmented reality experiences to AI-powered crowd control, this stadium feels more like Silicon Valley than Happy Valley. Fans can scan their tickets with facial recognition, enjoy real-time player stats via holograms, and even order food from drones.
Sky-High Luxury Suites: Think you’ve seen luxury at a football game? Think again. The new skybox suites rival five-star hotels, featuring private chefs, floor-to-ceiling views, climate-controlled comfort, and concierge service.
360-Degree Jumbotron: Spanning the entire inner rim of the stadium, this record-breaking video display gives every seat a perfect view of instant replays, live feeds, and interactive content.
Sustainability Meets Innovation: The stadium is also one of the greenest in sports history, powered by solar panels, rainwater recycling, and smart energy systems that reduce environmental impact without sacrificing performance.
