Wichita State will hold the Missouri Valley Conference outdoor track and field championships this spring at Cessna Stadium, subbing for Missouri State’s spot in the rotation.
MSU withdrew as host on Monday, citing inadequate facilities and construction costs, according to a news release. Cessna Stadium will hold the event May 12-14.
MSU, according to the news release, lacked a javelin area and needed to update other throwing areas for a cost of around $600,000.
“In light of our university's recent budget challenges, we have to be realistic about how far we can go,” MSU director of athletics Kyle Moats said in a news release.
