Groundbreaking for multipurpose practice facility set for Oct. 12

A groundbreaking ceremony for the indoor multipurpose use and practice facility will begin at 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 12. The Johnny Majors Practice Complex will be located west of the Jacobson Building.

Speakers will include President Gregory Geoffroy; Board of Regents, State of Iowa, president Owen Newlin; athletic director Bruce Van De Velde; lead donors Steve and Debbie Bergstrom; and football coach Dan McCarney.

The 92,000-square-foot building will be constructed over the existing artificial turf practice field. The building will contain a regulation-size football field for indoor practice, and a portable floor so it can be used for university and community events.

Private gifts raised by the athletic department and the ISU Foundation will pay for the building.
