Former Wichita State pitcher Nate Robertson, a nine-year major leaguer, has made a “significant” donation to a $2 million project that would create a 10,000 square-foot performance facility at Eck Stadium.
The university announced the donation in a statement Tuesday. The donation amount was not revealed.
The planned project is the final phase of a stadium plan that began with a new stadium core in 2000. WSU said athletes in baseball, softball, golf and tennis will use the facility, which will connect to the current indoor facility and the third-base dugout. It will also house new locker rooms and offices for WSU players and coaches.
