In recent days, reports have suggested that Colorado State University is being seriously considered for membership in the Big 12 — a move from a smaller conference, the Mountain West, to an undeniably major one.

And a big part of its Big 12 appeal is its new stadium, which is currently under construction.

CSU athletic direction Joe Parker has just announced that the $220 million project is on-budget and on-time for a fall 2017 debut — and the timing of these statements probably isn't coincidental.

Meanwhile, CSU is keeping students, staffers and alums informed about the stadium's progress by way of a multimedia website loaded with cool stuff.

Continue to check out three time-lapse construction videos, a teaser clip, an update from earlier this month and a slew of renderings showing what the facility will look like inside and out.
