Three phases of development are proposed:
Phase 1: East Sideline
The East Sideline of the Stadium needs to be renovated to a level comparable to that of the recently completed South End Zone. The goal of the project is to create a better viewing experience from the East and to increase revenue opportunities through seating options and improved amenities.
Approximately 6,400 seats are envisioned, including general seating and accessible seating with an additional premium seating options. The concourses will contain improved restroom facilities, new concession opportunities, retail spaces and access to a premium lounge.
It is critical that the design of the East Sideline be consistent and well-integrated with the design of the South End Zone, the North End Zone and the West Sidelines to create a cohesive single bowl stadium. Additionally, the design will take into consideration the natural beauty and views of the surrounding mountains that create such a unique game day experience at Montana State University.

Phase 2: North End Zone/Scoreboard
The North End Zone will be designed to integrate with and enhance the Bobcat Athletic Complex. It will serve to complete the bowl by connecting the East and West Sidelines.
It is envisioned to provide 2,000 additional seats (general seating and accessible seating) while also providing space below for other program elements: concourse, restrooms and concessions. A new scoreboard, videoboard and stadium sound system would be included as part of this project, or as a stand-alone project, coordinating with the North End Zone seating and the Bobcat Athletic Complex.
In the future, a phased project to the Bobcat Athletic Complex will enable the creation of a super-suite amenity in the North End Zone.
Similar to the East Sideline, the stadium design must be thoughtfully designed into a cohesive stadium concept.

Phase 3: West Sideline - Press Box Tower Renovation
The existing west sideline and tower is proposed to be completely renovated to improve fan amenities and the spectator experience. Minor renovations to the seating bowl are envisioned including improved access to the renovated tower.
The renovations to the tower will include upgrading the concourse, concessions, restrooms, retail points and stadium entry points; improving the second-level corporate hospitality area, the third level Stadium Club and Sky Suites, the fourth-floor Sky Suites and completely renovating the fifth-level press box, media, and coaches’ spaces.
The entire west tower façade itself will be redesigned to create the centerpiece for the new completed stadium bowl.
