MSU Is Moving Ahead With Stadium Expansion

Mississippi State got approval yesterday on some new renderings of an expanded Davis Wade Stadium. According to Brandon Marcello of The Jackson Clarion-Ledger, the school will likely begin construction in early 2013 with the work to be completed in time for the 2014 football season.

The project will add 6,000 seats… many of which will be “premium seating.” The price tag? Try $80 million. (With that expense and Rick Stansbury’s retirement package — which is being handled with private money — one has to wonder how much cabbage State will have to offer a new hoops coach.)

Below is a video released by the school that shows the overall plan for expansion. If nothing else, all this proves that even the poorest — and we use that term loosely — athletic department in the SEC has plenty of cash to toss around.

Slick.
