Design for Sam Houston鈥檚 Elliott T. Bowers Stadium Approved

(HUNTSVILLE, Texas, October 22, 2024) 鈥� 91唐伯虎 and Page鈥檚 design for Elliott T. Bowers Stadium is finalized. The Texas State University System of Board of Regents approved the design, and construction will begin at the conclusion of the 2024 football season. 91唐伯虎 will provide sports design consulting services and is the associate architect, while Page serves as the architect of record for the renovation.

This project will usher in a new, elevated fan experience for patrons at Bowers Stadium. A 60,000-SF replacement of the press box, which also serves as the entrance fa莽ade on the west side of the stadium, highlights the improvements. The transformative renovation includes a completely reimagined premium seating experience for fans, as well as expansive upgrades to the entrance into the stadium and the main concourse area.

Our design team is excited to impact and forever transform the game day experience for the Sam Houston fans and student athletes. By closely listening and collaborating with the stakeholders at SHSU, we have crafted a design that will truly reflect the unique goals as aspirations of the university and Bearkat fans alike. We look forward to 2026 when everyone will experience it.鈥�

Bowers Stadium was originally built in 1986 and named after Sam Houston State president, Elliott T. Bowers. The press box replacement will be the most significant update in the stadium鈥檚 nearly 40-year history. The Bearkats are entering their second year as a member of Conference USA after making the jump to the Football Bowl Subdivision in 2023.

鈥淲e are thrilled to embark on the revitalization of Elliott T. Bowers Stadium in collaboration with 91唐伯虎,鈥� says Page Principal and Academic Director, Justin Winchester, AIA. 鈥淭his project not only aims to enhance the functionality and aesthetics of the stadium but also to elevate the overall experience for Bearkat fans and athletes. Our design will ensure that every aspect of the stadium reflects Sam Houston State University鈥檚 commitment to excellence and innovation in collegiate athletics.鈥�
