New baseball/softball complex will displace intramural athletes

The new varsity baseball and softball stadiums will take the place of the intramural fields on the north edge of campus near 45/46 and Fee Lane and will leave the nearly 10,000 participants of intramural sports without a home field.

Director of Recreational Sports Kathy Bayless said that as of yet, there is no immediate plan where the sports will play after groundbreaking on the stadium begins this fall.

According to the Indiana University Master Plan, new intramural practice fields will be constructed in the northeast section of campus. Sembower Field and IU Softball Field would become a part of this complex as well. The Master Plan does not include a date for when construction will take place.
