University of Evansville Invests $1.2 Million in Student Wellness Through Upgraded Intramural Field

The same was true about my time at the University of Southern Indiana. Across town at the University of Evansville, the athletic department knows how important intramural sports are and has announced a major renovation project to improve that experience for students.

$1.2 Million Field Renovation Project

Who's Paying for This Project?

If you're wondering who will foot the $1.2 million bill, just know that it ain't me and it ain't you. Funding for the project was completely covered through the sale of UE's old Division Street property to Wesselman Woods in June 2023.
