Southeast Rec Fields update:
The University requests permission to proceed with project planning for this project that would enhance 37 acres of existing recreation fields east of Jack Trice Stadium with new field layouts, field lighting, irrigation, and site furnishings. The project budget’s estimate is $8,000,000 to $12,000,000 and would be funded by ISU Recreation Services funds.
This project would continue to allow students to immerse themselves in a university where top-notch academics and a vibrant student life form the ultimate college experience. A new student-focused recreation field complex would be constructed to provide a high-quality student recreational experience to support the university’s growing student body. Specific features would include flag football and softball fields, sand volleyball courts, lights, irrigation, drainage, and support facilities. Additionally, the new site improvements would have flexible layouts to allow for two regulation football fields. This project would combine these needs and would result in synergetic use of this area of campus.
