About the Stadium
| October 8, 1960 The new Memorial Stadium is dedicated as Michigan State defeats the Hoosiers, 35-0. Homecoming queen Judy Curtis broke a bottle filled with Jordan River water across the goalpost. The new stadium contract totaled $4,563,000 and the entire site development, including parking lot construction, totaled $1,509,860. |
 |
| September 5, 1986 Indiana University's Memorial Stadium has served as a model for stadium construction since the opening game against Oregon State in 1960. And, even being over 40 years old, Memorial Stadium never has looked better. |
 |
| June 1, 2003 A $3.5 million renovation of the Memorial Stadium press box is completed. Three hundred club seats were added below the original press box, and nine suites were added in place of the radio and television booths on the sixth and seventh floors. The suites hold up to 14 people apiece. The media and seventh floor levels were essentially completed before play in the 2002 season. The radio booths were moved down to each end of the media level and are completely sealed off from the rest of the media work area. |

| Summer 2003 The Hoosier locker room in Memorial Stadium undergoes a $250,000 renovation. The facelift to the original 1986 facility included renovating and modernizing the existing space with new carpeting, lighting and a new bulkhead ceiling along with the installation of custom-built oak wood lockers for 105 football players. The renovation was funded in large part by former Hoosier quarterback Trent Green and his wife Julie. |
 |
| Fall 2003 The Memorial Stadium field receives a major renovation prior to the 2003 season. The field goes from natural grass to a state-of-the-art turf surface (AstroPlay). The surface is replaced with a newer version of turf, FieldTurf, prior to the 2008 campgain. |

Naming and gift opportunities are still available. |

| John Mellencamp Pavillion | |
| The Hoosiers have the best of both worlds with Memorial Stadium and the John Mellencamp Pavilion located right next to one another. With 100,000 feet of playing surface, Mellencamp is one of the best indoor facilities in the nation. The Pavilion contains a regulation-size football field and is named after the singer, and Hoosier football fan, John Mellencamp, who provided the lead gift for the facility. |  |

The system uses sensors inside the player's helmet to alert a trainer if the player has taken a blow to the head that could cause a concussion. Indiana is one of just a handful of programs that use this system. |
