The west side of Kyle Field will be imploded at 8 a.m. on Sunday.

The Kyle Field redevelopment project, which wrapped up last year, came in $1.3 million under budget.
The final cost of the construction, sent out in a Wednesday news release, was about $483 million and came in $1,315,522 underneath the Final Guaranteed Maximum Price that was proposed in November 2014. 
“We not only met every deadline, including the formal Substantial Completion Date of September 9, 2015, but we delivered the largest collegiate athletic construction project in history at more than $1.3 million under budget,” Billy Hamilton, executive vice chancellor and chief financial officer of the Texas A&M University System, said in the release.
Construction on the West Side of Kyle Field began in December of 2014 and was completed in September 2015. Initial renovations to the entire stadium began in August 2013.
