Stadium
Munice, IN
Scheumann Stadium, home of

Conference. Located in Munice, Indiana, a new stadium for the
Cardinals was constructed in 1967. Opening that fall, the stadium had
a capacity of 22,500.

Since its opening in 1967, the stadium has
changed very little. Artificial turf replaced the grass playing field
before the 1997 season, although it has since been replaced with
grass. The stadium consists of three sets of one tier grandstands, one
on each side of the gridiron and one set below the endzone. In 2005,
Ball State Stadium was renamed Scheumann Stadium after John and June
Scheumann donated $4 million to the $12 million stadium campaign to
enlarge and improve the facility. Future improvements include a larger pressbox,
luxury suites, new ticket offices, façade work and constructing
seating on the north end to increase the seating capacity to just over
25,000. Work is scheduled to began after the 2006 season and will be
completed by the Cardinals home opener in 2007. |
