1948 saw the stadium enlarged once again with the expansion of the west sideline structure and the addition of 12,000 concrete seats and stands in both end zones to bring the total capacity to 35,000.

A 1986 expansion costing $7.2 million, raised without state budget appropriations, added almost 9,000 seats, consisting primarily of a 5,500-seat upper deck as well as permanent lighting and a computerized scoreboard which was replaced in 1997 with a Sony JumboTron.

In 1999, the Turman Fieldhouse underwent numerous changes, including remodeled dressing rooms for both teams, and an all-new recruiting lounge, and the stadium began a $50 million expansion and renovation partially funded by Floyd Davis Wade Sr..

The new board was used for the first time on November 1, 2008, during the Mississippi State Bulldogs vs. Kentucky Wildcats football game.

[12] On June 22, 2022, MSU unveiled a renovation plan called "Balconies at Davis Wade Stadium".

The new concept replaces seats on the west side of the upper deck with tiered open-air boxes.

Currently, the balconies are expected to be completed by mid-August and in operation by the first home game of the season against Memphis on September 3, 2022.
