STARKVILLE -- Mississippi State football was approved for a $3 million renovation to Davis Wade Stadium during Thursday's Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning board meeting.

The renovation will be for the two levels of suites on the east side of the stadium. It will be for aesthetic improvements that "include but is not limited to new interior finishes, millwork, doors, seating and lighting," according to the IHL.

No timeline for the project was announced. It will be funded by the MSU athletics internal fund. MP Design Group was appointed as the design professional.

Davis Wade Stadium was constructed in 1914, with the east suites added in 2002. The most recent stadium renovation was completed two years ago with the addition of the balcony seats on the upper level of the west side of the stadium.

Mississippi State football (1-5, 0-3 SEC) and first-year coach Jeff Lebby begin a three-game homestand when they host No. 14 Texas A&M (5-1, 3-0) this Saturday (3:15 p.m., SEC Network).
