Dedicated April 12, 1996, the John Mellencamp Pavilion first
opened its doors for the 1996-97 athletic year and is named for
singer/songwriter John Mellencamp, who provided the lead gift for the $6 million
project. A resident of Bloomington, he has long been a fan of the Indiana
University athletic program. Several members of the Mellencamp family are
graduates of Indiana University, and the Mellencamp family values its
association with IU Athletics and the tradition of excellence the program
exemplifies. The permanent linkage of the Mellencamp name with this premier
athletic practice and meeting/banquet facility is a fitting tribute to the close
association the Mellencamps enjoy with Indiana University.
Mellencamp
Pavilion is over 100,000 square feet and provides a premier year-round training
space for almost every varsity sport. Artificial turf ensures safe footing for
the practice of field hockey in addition to soccer, football, baseball, softball
and other varsity sports. The playing surface is a regulation football field
with ample room on the sidelines to accommodate virtually every other sport. The
pavilion's height accommodates kicking, as well as batting and golf practices.
