Wichita State Athletics announced this morning the master plans for the Wilkins Stadium renovations and outlined estimated costs for each phase of the project.
Phase I will cost an estimated $7.3 million and will see the building of a softball team facility and an indoor practice facility. The costs of renovations are being offset by donations from the Linda Parke estate and Jeanie and Ricky Brotherton.
The Parke estate donated a total of $1.1 million to the university. According to an email from WSU Athletics, $500,000 will be used for scholarships for those studying math and men’s basketball players.
