Summary
Wichita State is set to host a string of major American Conference championships over the next few years, showcasing massive upgrades and a serious commitment to student-athlete excellence. In 2027, the softball championship returns to Wilkins Stadium, and by 2028, the university will welcome cross-country, men’s tennis, and outdoor track and field events — with Clapp Park and the newly renovated Crossland Stadium (featuring turf, new seating, and a fresh track) serving as the venues. The Ignite at K-96 tennis complex, a brand-new facility with courts, locker rooms, and training areas, is also a key part of this expansion. Athletic Director Kevin Saal emphasized that these investments reflect Wichita State’s dedication to elevating its athletic programs and providing top-tier competition environments right at home.
