EUGENE, Ore. – University of Oregon alum Bob Sanders has donated an additional $6 million to complete the Jane Sanders Stadium project, athletics director Rob Mullens announced on Tuesday.
After receiving an initial donation of $10 million from Sanders to build a new softball stadium honoring his late wife Jane, the Oregon athletics department started fundraising to meet the estimated project total of $16.5 million approved by the UO Board of Trustees in February. Sanders generously stepped forward and made a second donation.
“Mr. Sanders has made this dream a reality for our softball program,” said Mullens.
