AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo.—The Air Force Academy plans to use a $5 million donation from a graduate to construct a new indoor athletic training facility.
It’s the largest gift from a graduate in the history of the Academy.
The center is scheduled for completion in early 2011 and will consist of a regulation-sized football field, which can also be used for lacrosse and soccer. The Falcons are currently the only service academy without a dedicated indoor training facility.
Air Force director of athletics Hans Mueh says it’s a “tremendous step forward for the athletics program.”
The donation comes from Bart Holaday—a 1965 graduate—and his wife, Lynn.
