Premium seating sales process is now underway for loge box prospects with deadline set for October 1
(MURRAY, Ky.)-The Murray State University Board of Regents formally approved financing for the highly-anticipated, eight-figure renovation of the CFSB Center during their June board meeting, continuing to move the project further into the design phase.
With the renovation scheduled to begin following the 2025-26 basketball season and be completed for the 2026-27 campaign, the project will elevate Racer fan experience and create first-of-its-kind premium opportunities.
“This is a major milestone for our institution, and we are excited for the impact that it will have on our entire campus community,” University President Dr. Ron Patterson said. “The CFSB Center means a lot to Murray State thanks to highly-competitive basketball games, our annual commencement ceremonies and numerous other campus functions. We are thankful for our Board of Regents for helping us move this project forward as we continue to invest in our extremely bright future.”
With the design phase now in motion, the Department of Athletics will begin the premium seating sales process for those interested in loge box seating for either five or seven years.
The purchase of a loge box entitles the owner to:
- Four (4) Seat Loge Box
- Four (4) Passes to CFSB Club
- Ability to purchase two (2) SRO (Standing Room Only) Tickets
- One (1) Parking Pass in an Agreed Upon Lot
“We are incredibly grateful for our Board of Regents and their commitment to our shared vision for excellence and their belief in our plans to turn the CFSB Center into one of the premiere venues in the Missouri Valley Conference and in the nation,” Director of Athletics Nico Yantko said. “This project will have a transformative impact on our student-athlete and fan experience, and provide new reoccurring revenue streams and creative unforgettable premium opportunities for our department as we continue to enter a new era of collegiate athletics.”
