Let’s look at some of the details about the upcoming upgrades in the FedEx stadium. Apart from essential maintenance, the $40 million will fund the installation of putting-edge ticket scanners. Three unique “themed suites” will be created and an extensive overhaul of the Commander’s branding will be done all across the stadium. Apart from this, the fans will also see better services in food vendors, in-bowl, and concourse repairs.

This upgrade announcement comes after the team’s prior revelation in March that FedEx Field will feature new video boards and an upgraded sound system before the upcoming season. Josh Harris certainly picked up some ideas from the previous management, but be assured of more such updates as we get into the new season under a new leadership.
