OXFORD Ole Miss' new north endzone will bowl-in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium and increase capacity to the largest stadium in the state.
Ole Miss announced concrete plans on Monday. Renderings had been released with the start of the Forward Together campaign in 2011 and again last year, but athletics director Ross Bjork said the current plan best fits the needs of the university while staying within what is possible financially.
It's expected to be completed in time for the 2016 season, and will push capacity to 64,038. Ole Miss will start construction on the north endzone in December 2015. It'll begin work on Jan. 7 on the south endzone project, which will add 30 luxury suites and 770 club level seats for 2015.
