Special Projects
Aurora University is continuing its commitment to enhance athletic facilities with the addition of a new $3.7 million football and soccer stadium, on the west side of the campus, starting in the fall of 2008.
The stadium and field include a state-of-the-art field turf surface, grandstand, and sports information center along with a nearby picnic area and adjacent parking lot. This facility will serve the needs of the Aurora University community for years to come.
At the homecoming football game on October 18, 2008, the field was dedicated and named Vago Field in honor of Louis Vago, an Aurora University alumnus.
The university launched the first phase of its effort several years ago with the renovation of Thornton Gymnasium and a series of infrastructure improvements in Alumni Hall. Recently, the institution announced its decision to partner with the City of Aurora leaders to develop a high quality Spartan baseball facility at Solfisburg Park.
