UT’s Lindsey Nelson Stadium Upgrades See Almost $10M Budget Increase

Knoxville, TN (WOKI) The long-awaited upgrades to Lindsey Nelson Stadium, the home of Tennessee baseball, saw another budget increase following Friday’s meeting of the University of Tennessee Board of Trustees Finance and Administration Committee.

The committee approving the nearly $10 million increase ($9,300,000) which project representatives say is necessary to cover costs associated with unforeseen soil and utility conditions.

The approval brings the total cost of the project to over $105 million dollars ($105,100,000) and follows a 2023 budget increase which was approved that June.

University representatives claim the money won‘t come from the university’s budget directly, but from gifts and donations.

For comparison, Knoxville’s other stadium project — the downtown multi-use stadium — has been billed at around $114 million.
