Drake University announced Wednesday a $6 million capital campaign to support renovations to Drake Stadium, which is marking its 100th anniversary this year. The Drake Stadium Centennial Campaign is fundraising for several major infrastructure upgrades, including replacing the track and field surfaces, reversible long jump, triple jump and pole vault runways required for NCAA championships, and creating a permanent hospitality space for guests. The stadium was last renovated in 2006, according to a press release. The campaign has received a $600,000 leadership gift from Prairie Meadows. Opened in 1925, the stadium is home to the world-famous Drake Relays, Drake football as well as other track and field meets such as USA Track and Field Championships, NCAA Outdoor Championships and AAU Junior Olympics. “Drake Stadium is more than just a facility — it’s a century of memories, records, and community pride,” Drake University President Marty Martin said in the press release. “With the support of partners like Prairie Meadows and the commitment of our alumni and fans, we’re building the next 100 years of greatness.” To learn more about the campaign, click here.
