The University of Michigan has plans for improving more than one football stadium. The university’s Board of Regents recently approved plans to build a new $6 million soccer stadium next to its Varsity Tennis Center on South State Street.

The fields, built last fall, are already there. The project calls for building 2,200 seats and locker facilities around the fields, which will be used by the university women's and men's soccer teams. There will also be restroom, concession, and press facilities.
