TEMPE, Ariz. – On Wednesday morning, the final piece of steel in the three-phase Sun Devil Stadium reinvention was ceremoniously put into place high above Frank Kush Field by AECOM Hunt.
The final beam was signed by Arizona State University President Dr. Michael Crow, Vice President of University Athletics Ray Anderson, several members of the university leadership team and Sun Devil Athletics' staff before being air-lifted by crane into position on the east side of the stadium.
The final piece is one of nearly 4,000 assembly pieces and approximately 1,350 tons of steel within the east side of the stadium alone. Overall, all three phases total over 4,274 tons of steel weighing in at 8,548,000 pounds.
With the infrastructure in place, the final stages of the reinvention now commence with concrete pouring, installation of seating and more.
