Friday, April 20th, 2007
Chalmers Field and the University of Dubuque bid a fond farewell to the UD Stadium today as demoltion was completed to make way for the new Chlapaty Recreation and Wellness Center.

• 4 multi-use courts nested in the center of the track for intramurals and indoor practices;
• a 16 foot-wide concourse running the length of the facility, overlooking the track and courts;
• a training room including hydrotherapy tubs and examination rooms;
• home, visitor, officials and faculty/staff locker rooms;
• a juice bar/lounge area;
• a football stadium including east side visitor seating and an expanded concessions area;
• a reconfigured press area;
• a lighted field;
• a synthetic field turf surface, new outdoor track, and
• relocated tennis courts.
