STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) - Trustees have approved plans for Mississippi State University to borrow up to $30 million to expand and overhaul its baseball stadium.
College Board trustees voted Thursday to allow the university to issue bonds for Dudy Noble Field-Polk DeMent Stadium.
The total project is supposed to cost $55 million, including $25 million that’s supposed to be raised from donations.
The project calls for a complete rebuilding of the field, including a new grandstand, concession areas, restrooms and entry plazas, plus 50 private boxes. The university also plans a new video board, new locker rooms and coaching offices, and concrete pads for left-field tailgaters.
Documents submitted to trustees say Mississippi State will borrow money for up to 30 years, with projected average yearly payments of $2.1 million.
