Indiana’s battle against Ohio State at Memorial Stadium highlights Hoosiers’ strong commitment to the military

Indiana University’s Memorial Stadium, named in honour of service members, is the setting for a major game between No. 5 Indiana and No. 4 Ohio State. The article uses the occasion to highlight the university’s longstanding recognition of military service and the importance it holds for students who serve.

Outside the stadium are anti-aircraft guns and part of the USS Indiana, while the campus’s Golden Book records the service of people connected to IU. Started in 1898, its handwritten pages list veterans from conflicts including the Civil War and both world wars; a digital version launched in 2016 now contains more than 25,000 names. National Guard students interviewed say the memorial helps them feel respected and remembered.
