Just look what's happening at UW-EC:
"The BlueGolds are in the process of building one of the most impressive indoor facilities in all college football - regardless of level. The Sonnentag Complex is estimated to cost about $110 million and the facility will be 140 yards long, 70 feet wide, and will boast 83 foot ceilings. Those measurements are good enough to cement it as the largest indoor in Wisconsin, and when it's all said and done, the Division III program will be able to boast the 8th largest indoor facility in all of college football. If that's not enough, the location couldn't be better as it sits on the banks of the Chippewa River."

That's quite a nice facility, but how is it that D-III UW-EC has it? Well, it's being financed in part by the philanthropic foundation of alumni John and Carolyn Sonnentag. The project includes more than just the indoor football facility:
