Under Consideration

Blodgett Field
Enhancements to the men's baseball field include a press box, new public address system, an improved warning track, and landscaping. Funds needed: $32,500.

Softball Field
Recommendations include a new press box and public address system; a new or expanded back stop; and an extension of the fence down the foul lines. Funds needed: $42,500.

Paved Parking Lots
The task force recommends paving two existing gravel parking lots: the lot east of T. Fleming Fieldhouse (Depot and Prairie Streets: $285,000 needed) and the lot next to the railroad tracks behind Herr Oil (adjacent to the Knox Bowl: $195,000 needed). These lots would enhance parking for all athletic venues and events. Parking for events in the Ford Center for the Fine Arts and visitor parking for Admission open houses and College events, such as Homecoming and Commencement, also would be enhanced.
