Tech regents approve construction for $45 million stadium expansion

LUBBOCK, Texas Texas Tech's expanding its football stadium by ten-thousand seats -- including those in 19 new luxury suites.

The Texas Tech University System regents today approved construction of the 45 (M) million expansion.

Tech Athletic Director Gerald Myers says the approval is contingent on the athletic department obtaining the money -- of which as much as 20 (M) million dollars would come in gifts.*

The east side expansion will include a parking garage for one-thousand-80 cars, 300 club seats, a 55-hundred-seat upper deck and 45-hundred more seats in each of the stadium's four corners. That would bring capacity to just over 63-thousand seats.

The parking garage could be done by 2007 and the upper deck by the 2009 season.

Myers said the expansion will put the school is about the middle of the Big 12 in stadium capacity.

* And the rest would come from where?
