In a social media post on Thursday morning, Baylor Athletics appeared to reveal that McLane Stadium will receive a lighting upgrade ahead of the 2026 season.
The new lighting system would give Baylor more flexibility with its in-game presentation, particularly for night games. The Bears will be able to use different lighting effects during pregame introductions, touchdowns and other moments throughout the game. LED lights have become increasingly popular across college football in recent seasons.
The upgrade is the latest addition to McLane Stadium as Baylor prepares for its 13th season at the venue. The Bears have called McLane home since 2014 after moving from Floyd Casey Stadium, where they played for more than six decades.
Baylor could debut the new lighting system when it hosts Prairie View A&M on Sept. 12. The matchup is scheduled for 7 p.m. CT and will be streamed on ESPN.
