Leaders from Western Carolina University kicked off a massive $37 million renovation to the schoolโs E.J. Whitmire Stadium last Thursday.
The event, which brought in a large and energetic crowd, severed as a groundbreaking ceremony for the project, which will include a new press box, coachesโ offices, player study areas and a hospitality center which will be known as the โWestern Skybox.โ The stadium, which is over 50 years old, will now feature over 10,000 square feet of new space.
