InfoCision Stadium and Summa Field

A new era dawned for The University of Akron in August 2007 when the Board of Trustees approved the financing and construction plans for a
$55 million, on-campus football stadium. The proposed facility is part of the second phase of the New Landscape for Learning campus enhancement initiative.

Construction of InfoCision Stadium and Summa Field is scheduled to be complete for the Zips' 2009 home opener against the University of Kentucky Wildcats on Sept. 12. As in other buildings constructed in UA's ongoing campus enhancement, the stadium features a bold design of brick and glass.

The stadium will be financed by a $30 million fund-raising campaign (of which $21 million already has been pledged) and bonds financed via stadium revenues.

Features of the proposed stadium include:
• Capacity of 30,000
• 172 open-air loge seats
• 300 ADA seat locations
• 21 heated restrooms
• State-of-the-art scoreboard
• 10 concession locations
• Academic classrooms and labs
