Reed Plaza Expansion

On football game days, Reed Plaza has become a spacious gathering place for football fans.  The Plaza adds new restroom stalls, concession areas and an additional 30,000 square feet to the stadium's public space.  During the rest of the school year, fences keep people out of the stadium, but most of the space has become a pedestrian concourse connecting the main part of campus to the university's growing East Campus.
