CSU stadium contruction is on time and on budget

Colorado State University officials say the school’s new $220 million stadium remains on time and on budget as crews have reached the halfway point of construction.

The Coloradoan reports (http://noconow.co/2ateIiq ) that hundreds of construction workers, university officials and others gathered at the site of the new on-campus stadium Tuesday to celebrate its progress.

Construction had begun on the 41,000-capacity facility in September 2015, and the work is scheduled to be complete in time for the CSU Rams to kick off the 2017 football season.

CSU President Tony Frank says the facility will also include an alumni center and space for academic advising.
