Vanderbilt University
To deliver the preeminent student-athlete experience in college athletics, Barton Malow’s Nashville sports construction team will transform Vanderbilt University’s FirstBank Stadium and set the benchmark for collegiate football excellence.
The “Vandy United” plan, the most significant undertaking of its kind in school history, has a goal to elevate every student-athlete space on campus. Barton Malow is currently executing Phase One of the plan to completely renovate FirstBank Stadium, which includes the following scope:
Fans will experience FirstBank Stadium and the Commodores in a whole new way. The new North End Zone will host premium hospitality concessions and loge box seating for upgraded seating options, and a north concourse expansion will connect the new construction to the east and west seating.
Vanderbilt’s state-of-the-art Basketball Operations Center, the largest dedicated basketball player development facility in the country, anchors the North End Zone. With dedicated facilities and courts for the men’s and women’s teams, the new practice and training facility houses locker rooms, staff offices, viewing rooms, and nutrition services. Student-athletes will have access to private dining and lounges as well as a shared weight room and treatment spaces with a hydrotherapy suite.
The new South End Zone will replace the seating bowl, adding diverse seating options such as club suites, hospitality boxes, and open-air tailgate boxes. The new concourse will double the size of the south bowl, providing new food and beverage concessions. The ground floor will house gameday locker rooms and provide training rooms, offices, and equipment support spaces for football operations.
Renovations to the Press Box and Broadcast Studio will provide upgraded facilities for gameday coverage, including an A/V and technology package for the latest in broadcasting requirements. New videoboards and a stadium acoustics system are included in the renovations.

Game day ready, Vanderbilt's North End Zone offers premium seating on concourse levels 1 and 2 to first-time fans and seasoned ticket holders. The media will have reserved viewing on Level 3, and a massive scoreboard on Level 4 will provide everyone within the bowl with a play-by-play of the action on the field.
Although still under construction, the Commodores will make their entrance onto the field through the South Endzone via a secure tunnel affectionately known as the "Star Walk."
The North Endzone will offer fans and guests premium amenities, concessions, and spectacular views from the 1st and 2nd level concourse.
Once completed, students and staff will access the Basketball Practice Facility through it's primary entrance off of Nachez Trace Rd.
The new facility will have designated courts for both the men's and women's basketball teams.
