The Missouri Western State University Board of Governors will meet Friday to consider millions of dollars of improvements to Spratt Stadium.

The board will meet by phone at 10 a.m. Friday to consider a Resolution of Intent to issue revenue bonds to fund the improvements.

The project is expected to cost around $7.8 million.

If approved by the board the resolution states construction, renovation, equipping and furnishing improvements will be made to the Stadium which houses Western’s football and soccer facility.

That will include moving the field, upgrades to general seating, a new video board, replacement and expansion of the existing press box to include up to 14 private suites, expanded restrooms and concessions, improvements to fan services and merchandising areas, improvements to the Stadium Club and the addition of meeting rooms and improvements to game day operation areas for coaches and the press.

A press conference to discuss the proposed improvements in full will be held Friday at 11 a.m. inside the Griffon Indoor Sports Complex.

You will be able to listen to the press conference live on ESPN 1550 AM or online at this link: http://v6.player.abacast.net/2471
