In a monumental step for Purdue University athletics, the Purdue Men’s Basketball program has officially broken ground on a state-of-the-art grandstand and VIP suite, set to seat over 14,804 fans. This long-anticipated project marks a historic milestone for the Boilermakers, positioning the university among the elite in college basketball infrastructure.
The new grandstand will feature cutting-edge amenities, enhanced sightlines, and a luxurious VIP suite designed to offer an immersive fan experience. University officials describe it as a “legacy project” that will not only elevate game day but also boost recruitment, alumni engagement, and national visibility.
“This isn’t just construction — it’s a commitment to excellence,” said Purdue Athletic Director Mike Bobinski. “We’re building a future where fans, players, and the entire Purdue community come together in an iconic arena.”
Construction is expected to be completed ahead of the 2026-27 season, with updates to follow in the coming months. Stay tuned for more details on what’s being called “The New Home of Boilermaker Basketball.”
