James Madison University’s Bridgeforth Stadium is being demolished; watch it live.
A construction project designed to transform Bridgeforth Stadium into the pre-eminent college football environment at the Football Championship Subdivision is under way. When completed in the fall of 2011, the stadium capacity will be about 25,000, an increase of 10,000 seats, and sight lines will be improved for all seats on the west side. In addition, the west side will feature a club level, hospitality suites and a new media center.
Construction will be done in phases so that Bridgeforth Stadium will still be the home of the Dukes in 2010. Between the end of the 2009 season and the start of the 2010 season, the old west stands will be torn down and rebuilt. Following the 2010 season, construction will continue on the hospitality suites and club section, and begin on the upper deck of the west side and on the north end zone.
