April 27, 2025 – Bloomington, IN — In a historic move that is sending shockwaves across the college football world, the Indiana Hoosiers have officially unveiled a jaw-dropping $5.3 billion renovation to Mountain America Stadium, setting a new gold standard for collegiate athletic facilities.
The massive overhaul transforms the Hoosiers’ home into a futuristic fortress of football, combining cutting-edge technology, luxury amenities, and a major expansion in seating capacity. The revamped stadium, now one of the most technologically advanced in the world, will host over 110,000 fans—up from its previous 52,000—making it the largest in the Big Ten and one of the largest in the nation.
“This is more than a renovation; it’s a redefinition of what college football can be,” said Indiana University President Pamela Whitten during the unveiling ceremony. “We envisioned a venue that not only honors the spirit of our program but also provides an unmatched experience for fans, athletes, and the entire community.”
Highlights of the transformation include an ultra-modern retractable roof, a 360-degree wraparound OLED video board, and an AI-powered fan engagement system that provides real-time stats, interactive features, and personalized experiences through an exclusive Hoosiers mobile app.
The stadium now boasts over 200 luxury suites and private skyboxes, along with premium lounges, gourmet dining, and spa-like amenities. The state-of-the-art locker rooms, recovery centers, and training facilities rival those of professional sports franchises.
Named after its principal sponsor, Mountain America Credit Union, the newly renovated stadium is expected to become a key hub not just for football but for concerts, esports tournaments, and other major events, helping drive economic growth throughout the Bloomington area.
Athletic Director Scott Dolson emphasized the project’s long-term impact: “This investment propels Indiana into a new era. It’s not just about winning on the field—it’s about creating a world-class environment for everyone who steps through our gates.”
The grand reopening is scheduled for the Hoosiers’ 2025 season opener against Notre Dame, a primetime matchup already being dubbed the most anticipated game in program history.
With this groundbreaking transformation, Indiana has declared its intent to rise as a powerhouse in college athletics—on the field and far beyond it.
