UA answers Pryor's questions on $160M stadium expansion

This artist’s rendering shows how Reynolds Razorback Stadium would look after a proposed expansion that would include enclosing the north end of the stadium and adding more premium seating.

The University of Arkansas has released answers to a series of questions posed by Trustee David Pryor about a planned $160 million expansion of Razorback Stadium.

In a letter to Pryor appended to answers to 33 questions the former U.S. senator and governor had asked about the project, UA Chancellor Joseph Steinmetz offered assurance that "no more than $160M will be spent in this project" and that $40 million of that would be private gifts.

"With new needs, including heightened safety and security requirements, and the evolving demands of our fans and alumni, we have reached another critical crossroads in the history of the University to complete the stadium on its north end and to conduct needed renovations throughout the facility," Steinmetz wrote.
