NORMAL – Illinois State University plans to update Doug Collins Court at CEFCU Arena.

The project is essential to Men’s and Women’s basketball and volleyball programs, which use the court daily for practices and competitions.

However, the athletics department needs the public’s help deciding the court’s logos.

The athletics department wants the public to vote for the winner of four final court designs.

In addition, Mike and Abigail Jones agreed to match every dollar donated to the new court up to $10,000.

The athletics Department did not discuss the final cost of the court or where the funding would come from.

In 2019, ISU renovated the lower bowl of CEFCU Arena to add in cushioned seats and suite enhancements.
