Lindsey Nelson Stadium

The additions and renovations to UT's Lindsey Nelson Stadium nearly doubled the capacity of the original stadium, as well as significantly upgrading the gameday experience for fans.

The design leans into extensive branding, additional fan amenities, improvements to player development space, and significant back-of-house support. The expansion nearly doubles the stadium's capacity — from 4,045 to 7,600 — while expanding concourse seating, club seating, and private event space. The design creates multiple grand entrances to the stadium.

Lindsey Nelson was originally built in 1993. Barber McMurry worked with stadium consultant Populous.
