John Mellencamp Pavilion

The John Mellencamp Pavilion is an indoor sports facility in Bloomington that houses a full-size artificial turf field and specialized training areas. It serves student athletes from multiple sports with year-round training spaces and support facilities.

Construction of this training center started in the 1990s following a major donation from musician John Mellencamp to Indiana University. The facility was created to provide training opportunities independent of weather conditions.

The facility strengthens the Indiana University sports program by providing year-round training opportunities for student athletes regardless of weather conditions.

The building sits on the Indiana University campus and is easily accessible for students and visitors. Access to outdoor fields and training areas allows visitors to explore the full extent of the sports complex.

An underground tunnel connects the building to adjacent outdoor fields and the university's main stadium. This tunnel system allows athletes to move between training areas without exposure to weather conditions.
