Crews Begin Preparing Construction Site For New On-Campus Stadium At CSU
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (CBS4) - Work began last week to prepare the site for the new stadium on the Colorado State University campus.
Crews put up a fence around the perimeter of the site south of the intersection of Pitkin Street and Meridian Avenue.
Construction workers have been recycling concrete and asphalt from surface parking lots and have been continuing work related to utility planning.
The true construction will begin in the summer and is expected to take two years.
"This is an exciting step as we begin moving toward the start of construction for our new on-campus stadium," CSU Director of Athletics Joe Parker said in statement. "A great deal of vision, collaboration and hard work by the University and the community has brought us to this point. As we begin to see the site take shape, we will continue to be mindful of the impact of this and other construction projects taking place on our campus, and encourage everybody in our campus community to utilize the resources available to stay informed."
A ceremonial groundbreaking is scheduled for CSU's Sept. 12 home game against Minnesota.
