Indiana University will begin surveying its athletic stakeholders this week about ways to improve Memorial Stadium and enhance the football gameday experience.
The athletic department announced Monday it had partnered with Nations Group to send out an online to survey fans, ticket buyers, donors and business leaders beginning Wednesday.
Survey topics include “a reimagined concourse, new social gathering spaces, upgraded concessions and restrooms, and a series of enhanced premium seating options and locations,” according to the IU press release.
The university is planning major capital improvements to the stadium, which was completed in 1960.
"As we enter this exploratory stage, my hope is that Hoosier fans will join in on this endeavor by providing this much-needed input,” IU athletic director Scott Dolson said in the release. “Our goal is to identify and deliver on what our fans want from their gameday experience, which makes this feedback a critical component of doing something of this magnitude the right way."
It would be the third renovation project for Memorial Stadium.
The North End Zone project in 2009 enclosed the north end of the stadium and featured new offices, locker rooms, banquet facilities and the Henke Hall of Champions.
In 2018, the south end of the stadium was enclosed and included the IU Excellence Academy, a nearly 67,000-square foot facility dedicated to “medical, rehabilitation and nutrition facilities, as well as first-of-its-kind leadership and life skills center and program for the benefit of all IU's student-athletes.”
Memorial Stadium is the 10 th largest stadium in the Big Ten with a capacity of 52,626.
