McLane Stadium Named Finalist for Architizer A+ Award

Baylor University’s McLane Stadium, designed by Populous, has been named as one of five finalists in the typology category for sports and recreation: stadium / arena for the 2015 Architizer A+ Awards. The $266 million stadium located off the Brazos River in Waco, Texas, has created a new front door for the university and city since opening in August 2014, extending the campus footprint and aiding in the redevelopment of the region.

The Architizer A+ Jury Award will be selected by a pre-selected jury, but McLane Stadium is also eligible for the Architizer A+ Popular Choice Award, which will be selected by a public vote.
