Mark Jurich announced on Wednesday that the next phase of stadium expansion will be complete and ready for the 2018 season, which is one year sooner than originally anticipated. The field level suites and premium boxes are completely sold out and over 50% of the club seats are sold. The Cards open the 2018 season in Orlando against Alabama and then open the home slate against Indiana State.

Jurich and Bobby Petrino talked about the expansion and its impact on Wednesday.
