Regarding appearance, the company wanted the CURTIS STEWART fence's color to complement the white, gray and blue pre-cast concrete exterior of the building and have a more inviting appearance than the average distribution center fence.

Renovation also extended to the lower west concourse, and included entry gates, rest rooms and concessions, stadium seating bowl changes, cross aisles, four new access portals, lower north end-zone seating, and a tunnel from the field to the McClain Center basement. The project was completed via a joint venture agreement between the owner, the state of Wisconsin, and J.P. Cullen & Sons, Janesville, Wisconsin. The project manager was Jeremy Shecterle.
