BOZEMAN — Montana State University invites the public to the official groundbreaking ceremony for the MSU Indoor Athletic Center on July 16, at 3 p.m. in Bobcat Stadium’s north end zone. Those attending are asked to park in the South Fieldhouse Lot (#15), north of Kagy Boulevard.
“I want to thank President Waded Cruzado, the entire MSU administration and our donors for making this game-changing facility a reality,” said MSU Director of Athletics Leon Costello. “The Indoor Athletic Center is another priority accomplished in our Strategic and Facility Masterplans and will offer Bobcat student athletes the space needed to prepare safely for competition regardless of the weather conditions.”
Completion of the IAC is estimated for the late spring of 2025.

“The Indoor Athletic Center offers our football team a venue to practice that avoids frigid late-season and spring temperatures and offers our track and field athletes consistent training and competition opportunities throughout the academic year,” Costello said. “It will also maximize training days to continue the development of all student-athletes and programs that use the facility, and will decrease the risk of student-athlete injuries by limiting time spent practicing in inclement conditions.”
