Western Kentucky University Fieldhouse and Press Box
A tremendous resource that will help to bring students to the University with a reason to stay on The Hill for their educational journey. Â
KNBA, teamed with HKS, are working on the 120,000 sf Hilltopper Fieldhouse and Press Box. The innovative mix of programs in the Fieldhouse will create a dynamic facility with unique opportunities for collaboration and growth. Ultimately the Fieldhouse will be yet another tool the University provides to help students achieve success during their time at WKU and beyond.
The Fieldhouse will be home to the WKU Forensics and E-Sports programs, as well as provide practice and training space for Hilltopper Athletics and the Big Red Marching Band. The facility will be built upon the land that currently is home to the football practice field, in between Houchens Industries-L.T. Smith Stadium and Nick Denes Field.
The 15,300 sf press box will serve as a first-class home for media coverage of Hilltopper Football games. Situated above the existing Harbaugh Club, the press box will house the television broadcast, radio booths, coaches’ booths, working press and game operations. The suites will also be in the new facility.
