SDSU Dana J. Dkyhouse Stadium

In Brookings, SDSU is nearing the halfway point of construction on its Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium. The $65 million outdoor football stadium is being built on the location of the current football stadium and was designed by Sioux Falls-based Architecture Inc. The first phase of construction, led by Kansas City, Mo.-based JE Dunn Construction, will be complete in early September and will feature new seating to accommodate about 16,700 attendees, restrooms and concession areas on the east side and the south end zone and a new Daktronics scoreboard. The second phase, scheduled to be complete next August, will consist of a tower and new grandstand on the west side along with soybased artificial turf. The tower will contain premium hospitality spaces in the form of suites, loge boxes and a club room, as well as media facilities. Each of those areas include indoor/outdoor space, enhanced food and beverage options and exclusive restrooms among other amenities.
