The premium seating expansion on the east side of the stadium, originally slated for completion this fall, is indefinitely on hold.

Plans for stadium expansion halted
Before classes started this semester, a banner that hung on Memorial Stadium advertising the Gridiron Club quietly came down.
"After talking with donors, alumni and season ticket holders, I know everyone loves the concept," Marchiony said. "But they thought we needed to come up with a different financial model."
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the athletics department is convinced the concept is still good despite the delay.
The concept last year was to get all the money up front and then build the seating area.
To become a member of the
Gridiron Club, a minimum donation of $10,000 per seat is required. Contracts for membership include a 10-year membership for $55,000, a 30-year contract for $105,000 or a 45-year contract for $130,000.
Membership would include season football tickets and food and beverages.
Marchiony said the amount of money required up front caused reservations among donors, alumni and season ticket holders.
The expected $200 million revenue from the project would reportedly benefit other programs within the University as well.
The creation of Olympic facilities for women's sports like softball and soccer are needed right away, Marchiony said. Suitable facilities for both women's and men's sports maintain the University's compliance with Title IX, which bans sex discrimination in athletics and academics.
Marchiony said the main focus now is the reworking of the finances.
"That's why I think that this is an important project for us," Marchiony said.
Last year, Lew Perkins, former athletics director, also pledged a
