Purdue University took a big step towards a major facelift of Ross-Ade Stadium.
The board of trustees on Friday gave approval to a renovation project for the stadium built in 1924.
Estimates on the project have run as high as $125 million.
The board authorized Purdue Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer Bill Sullivan to select and retain an architectural and engineering firm to oversee the project.
The university wants to enhance the stadium appearance and improve the game-day experience for Boilermaker fans.
