Renovations to Cessna Stadium could help the athletic department create its first ever women’s soccer program by creating a regulation sized soccer field.
The Kansas Board of Regents approved for the university to move forward with the planning, fundraising and re-design of Cessna Stadium.
“When you start to take the whole big picture into account. You are looking at adding women’s sports, you kind of follow yourself into soccer pretty quickly,” Director of Athletics Saal said. That would be great for campus life and student engagement.
The plan includes three phases. During Phase one, there will be the potential to create a regulation sized soccer field.
