Kinnick Stadium’s press box will go out with a bang Saturday morning.

Small explosive devices will bring down the press box and begin the final stage of UI’s $86.5 million Kinnick Stadium renovation project.

Controlled Demolition, Inc., (CDI), of Phoenix, Maryland, through a contact with Selzer Werderitsch Associates and Peterson Construction Inc., will demolish the old press box sometime after 8:30 a.m. Saturday.

CDI will use small steel-severing charges to undercut the steel structure holding the press box up and the whole thing will lie down in the parking lot behind the stadium.
