Pat Dye Field renovations to occur after 2023 football season
The Auburn University Board of Trustees approved a project Friday morning to make improvements to Pat Dye Field at Jordan-Hare Stadium, secretary to the board Jon Waggoner confirmed to the Montgomery Advertiser.
According to the materials for the BOT meeting, "the intent of this project is to improve the field drainage, resod the field, modify the perimeter of the field for improved access and circulation, and modernize the on-field electrical and communications infrastructure."
The venture is estimated to cost $6 million and be financed by the athletics department.

Construction is scheduled to begin following the upcoming football season and completed prior to the annual A-Day game in 2024.
The board also approved Friday a project to renovate space within the athletics complex "to expand and improve sports medicine services to its student athletes." These services are currently found in the Plainsman Park Strength and Rehabilitation Center; the plan is for them to be relocated into space that was previously held by the football program before its move to the Woltosz Football Performance Center.
A price for the project was not listed in the materials, but it's expected to be financed by funds from the athletics department.
