It would have included artificial turf, an additional eight lane track complete with a throws and jump area, and expanded bleacher seating for 6500 spectators.

Athletic facilities including public washrooms, change rooms and concession, and fencing were to be constructed in the first phase, costing $12.4 million.

The second phase was expected to cost $12.8 million and provide new bleachers, a new press box, additional washrooms, concessions, meeting rooms, landscaping and an entry plaza.

[6] In October 2011, the city revealed scaled-back plans worth $9.8 million to upgrade the turf, score clock, lighting, dressing rooms, washrooms, concession and sound system.

With funding by Friends of the Bowl Foundation, community donors and the City of Saskatoon, new scoreboard, lights and sound system were also new additions.

Seating for 2500 was donated by the Saskatchewan Roughriders from Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field and installed on the east side ready for the regular season.

The planning slate also has a new Nordic skiing track, another artificial football field and five paved parking lots, all to be completed sometime in 2019.
