Colorado State on-campus stadium: By the numbers

Site preparation for the on-campus stadium at CSU started last month and Thursday the university released new information about the $220 million venue that's scheduled to open in time for the 2017 college football season.

The primary difference in what Colorado State University announced Thursday is that it will be slightly larger than what had previously been known, increasing its standing-room-only capacity by nearly 1,000 and occupying 9,132 more square feet on campus between Lake Street and Pitkin Street. It's height remains unchanged.

The LEED-certified stadium, which is yet to have an official name, will have an exterior palette constructed of Colorado sandstone, metal and glass, attempting to match most of the newer buildings on campus. CSU says a majority of the building materials will come from locations within 500 miles of the site. The field surface will be synthetic and a new large video board will be erected in south end zone. The video board will be different than the one installed at Hughes Stadium in 2013, which has the capability of being moved.

Parking will utilize existing paved spaces on campus.
