Last year, Delaware State University kicked off its ambitious "Athletics Transformation Project" to upgrade its athletics facilities, programs, and profile.

Delaware's bond bill just approved $20 million for DSU to construct a new field house to continue this "transformation." The new field house would be a 70K sq ft building near Alumni Stadium, including a 50-yard turf field, creating indoor practice space for the school's sports teams. There would also be meeting sites, lounge spaces, and new locker rooms.

"It's going to inject a lot of energy and goodwill into our campus," said Athletic Director Tony Tucker. "We can't wait to get started."
