Rhoades said they have about $60 million pledged for the stadium and that they'll need between $80 million and $85 million to build it.
The Cougars currently play in Robertson Stadium, a 32,000-seat stadium that opened in 1942.
They'll demolish that stadium and build the new one on the same site, which could leave the team without a home stadium for as long as a season. Where they would play during construction hasn't been determined, but Rhoades said they've had discussions with officials of Reliant Stadium, home of the NFL's Houston Texans.
They expect the new stadium to be ready for the start of the 2014 season.
