With the Kansas State High School Track and Field Championship approaching, Wichita State University and the Kansas State High School Activities Association are providing the following update regarding the status of University Stadium (formerly Cessna Stadium).
In September of 2022, the Wichita State University Board of Trustees approved funding for phases 1A and 1B for the capital improvement plan to remake Cessna Stadium into University Stadium, a state-of-the-art home for Wichita State athletics, university and community events and the Kansas State High School Track and Field Championship.
The east side of the stadium was taken down during the summer 2023 and in mid-December 2023, Wichita State accepted bids for Phase 1A and 1B and received one bid for the project.
