Vanderbilt University released new renderings for its South End Zone project underway at FirstBank Stadium.

Part of ongoing construction aimed at “creating the best student-athlete and fan experience in the country,” the South End Zone will include several premium seating options, a dining facility for student athletes, and a new locker room.

Officials expect the project to be completed in 2025. Meanwhile, you can track construction and reserve premium seating on the team website.
