Our Crowdfunding Groups
Walt Owens has been a constant fixture at NIU and NIU sporting events for over four decades. As a show of appreciation for all the lives he has helped over the years, NIU Athletics would like to announce an integral fundraising campaign that will resurface the infield at Ralph McKinzie Field with synthetic grass turf. Upon the completion of the campaign, the home of NIU Baseball will always hold coach’s legacy, as it will be named Ralph McKinzie Field at Walt & Janice Owens Park.
