Tomorrow afternoon, a ribbon cutting ceremony and dedication will be held in the parking lot of the new Recreation and Athletic Center (or TRAC) at 2 p.m.

Tune in to SportsRadio 1450-AM for the Sam Madonia show from 6 to 9 a.m. as Sam interviews students, faculty and staff of the UIS community about the new facility, which opened its doors on Tuesday, September 18. (Read full story and watch video here).

Following the radio show, there will be an open house at the center from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., where the campus community will have the opportunity to see the state-of-the-art 3,000 seat performance arena that converts into three basketball and volleyball courts, running track, two racquetball courts, multi-purpose exercise room, and cardio and weight training areas.

There will also be free food and music at the Dedication Picnic, which will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. in the TRAC parking lot.
