With the purchase, the University installed a new playing surface and changed the name of the facility to Governors Stadium.

After the 2013 season, the west (home) side of the stadium was demolished and replaced with a new structure that includes luxury boxes, a training facility, and new chairback seating.

The renovation also replaced the west side grandstands with a new structure that includes state-of-the-art amenities for student-athletes, coaches and fans.

School officials were quoted as saying that they expected repairs to solve the problem and that they had budgeted for sinkhole issues due to the karstic terrain on which the campus is situated.

The first floor of the new facility includes the Bill Dupes Locker Room, the new home for the Governors football team.

The 8,000-square-foot Echo Power Club Level seats 386 spectators and is designed to offer catered meals on football game days.

In addition, the Hendricks Fox Walk of History is located in this area and features the name of every football player to have donned the Governors uniform.

Austin Peay also opened a state-of-the-art sports medicine and athlete care facility on the first floor of Fortera Stadium prior to the 2018 campaign Using the money donated by the Maynard family, a portion of the funds was used to replace the field turf before the 2022 Season.
