2012 Season
Vanderbilt vice chancellor of athletics David Williams announced on February 6, 2012 Vanderbilt will be adding new FieldTurf and a new JumboTron. A large “berm” is to be constructed in the open end of Vanderbilt Stadium as a place for fans to watch games starting fall 2012. The project, in addition to other renovations, began after the Black & Gold scrimmage on April 14, 2012.
Only 500 seats are available, the hillside is a first come, first serve area in terms of picking a spot to sit. The berm will not reach the permanent seating on the sidelines to leave space in the corners of the end zone for fans to enter.
The fourth major project set for the stadium is improved lighting. Renovations are ongoing at McGugin Center, new meeting rooms and Olympic sport locker rooms are being built. The work is due for completion summer 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word season:
“Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
