Glass Bowl

The Glass Bowl was built as a WPA project in the 1930s; it has undergone several renovations in the last 60 years. The most extensive of these came in 1990 when seating was expanded from 18,500 to the present capacity of 26,248. A three-story press tower was constructed and houses 40 executive loges, a 400-seat stadium club, and the sports information offices. Fans can watch a live, five-camera closed-circuit broadcast of Rocket games on the more than 75 television monitors throughout the tower. The third component of the $18-million project was the construction of a team facility building -- the Larimer Athletic Complex -- at the open end of the stadium horseshoe.
