Indiana University's Memorial Stadium will undergo a few changes before the 2024 Indiana football season kicks off against FIU on Aug. 31.

According to a release, the stadium will have a new team entryway, upgraded dining options via IU's partnership with Levy, more outdoor suites, a new spot for the in-house DJ and a different location for Hep's Rock.

The three-ton limestone remnant from the original Memorial Stadium construction will be relocated from the north end zone to the east concourse. IU said it will move the rock, with the approval of the Hoeppner family, to provide "an even larger part of the IU gameday fan experience." [IndyStar]


On Thursday, Forest Park announced a major donation, and plans for major enhancements to their athletic facilities.

The primary project is an artificial turf field, but they will also be installing a new bleacher system with a press box, as well as a new LED video scoreboard.

The field will be used not just for football, but soccer as well, and come springtime will be used for track, along with softball and baseball practices.

“This is something where, as a school and a community, we take a lot of pride in our academics, our extracurriculars, and our athletics, and this is just the next step for us,” said Athletic Director Tony Hasenour. “I think it will be something that the community is going to be looking forward to and excited about. It’s definitely creating a buzz. I had text messages and phone calls all day today. I think it’s something that younger kids can look forward to, one day being able to play on this field.” [14 News]
