Mississippi State Enters Final Stages Of Master Plan Process
April 25, 2024 | Football, Athletics
STARKVILLE – As Mississippi State Athletics enters the final stages of developing a comprehensive long-term master plan for all athletics facilities, the department took another significant step forward Thursday.
In partnership with Legends and Conventions, Sports & Leisure International (CSL) – a leading advisory and planning firm in sports and entertainment – MSU is assessing feasibility for improvements to Davis Wade Stadium.
The process will include a look at the state of Davis Wade Stadium and its surroundings, including fan amenities such as seating options in all areas of the stadium, and many other aspects of stadium features and operations.
"For more than 100 years, Davis Wade Stadium has served as the home for some of the most thrilling moments in Bulldog football history," MSU Director of Athletics Zac Selmon said. "The stadium has undergone several enhancements and additions over time that have provided more amenities and exciting hospitality spaces throughout the stadium. The comprehensive plan developed for Davis Wade will provide a complete road map to follow into the future, and while we think you'll be pleased with the immediate updates to improving the sound for 2024 in advance of the permanent sound and lighting upgrades scheduled for the 2025 season, there is even more to do as we approach the goal line on our master plan process."
MSU stakeholders – including ticket buyers, fans, donors, students, faculty and staff among others – will receive a secure, online survey soliciting feedback on a wide array of topics related to improving, enhancing and modernizing Davis Wade Stadium. Emails with a link to the survey will be distributed across the next 24 hours.
The survey will serve as an important step in MSU's overall strategic plan to elevate the game-day experience for Bulldog fans and bolster revenue opportunities that could serve as an impactful resource for the Starkville and MSU communities.
"As we continue to evaluate the long-term future of Davis Wade Stadium, the interests of the Mississippi State community will be an integral part of our decision-making process," Selmon said. "Recruiting world-class student-athletes and providing a superior game-day experience is paramount. We look forward to the participation of our devoted supporters in this process. I can assure you we are working tirelessly to make the Bulldog Family proud."
