The Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s Control
Tower and support buildings represent some of
the United States’ most sophisticated facilities
dedicated to the sport of auto racing.
The Control Tower holds race control and security
functions for the oval track and also houses the
private hospitality suites for the Hulman-George
family, owners of the Speedway. The Media
Building is designed for Formula One but also
meets the needs of the Indianapolis 500 and the
Brickyard 400.
Browning Day is continuing its 20-year relationship
with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway by
participating in this exciting new project. Project
100 is a major capital improvement initiative titled
after the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s plan to
conclude the project in alignment with the 100th
Running of the Indianapolis 500 in 2016.
Project 100 is tasked to create fan-focused
experiences and entertainment options to further
establish the Indianapolis Motor Speedway as an
iconic sports and entertainment facility as well as
“The Greatest Race Course in the World.”

Browning Day Mullins Dierdorf was the Associate
Architect on the Lucas Oil Stadium project. We
worked with HKS Architects from Dallas.
Browning Day primarily developed portions of
the interior, including the private suites, the Colts
store, exhibit hall and meeting rooms, auxiliary
locker rooms, offices for first aid, security,
concessionaire and administrative staff, reflected
ceiling plans throughout and door schedules (there
are more than 1,100 doors).
Browning Day also developed the Pedestrian
Connector between the Stadium and the
Convention Center.

Sports ComplexHENDRIX COLLEGEConway, Arkansas
Hendrix College is playing football again for the
first time in many years. Browning Day Mullins
Dierdorf provided programming, conceptual
design and sports design assistance to Fennell
Purifoy Architects of Little Rock, Arkansas. The
project includes new facilities for football as well
as the other established athletic programs at
Hendrix.
The new facilities includes a new stadium
(1,500 seats, press facilities, hospitality suites,
concessions, tickets,) a 25,000 square foot
fieldhouse and a planned indoor practice facility.
The fieldhouse serves many sports and includes
a weight room, home and visitor locker rooms,
support facilities as well as classrooms and offices
for the Hendrix College Kinesiology Department.
The Briner Sports Complex project is a three-
phase renovation and upgrade of the Ball State
University athletic facilities on the north side of
the campus.
The first phase, the Women’s Soccer Facility,
included the removal of a natural grass field
area and installation of a synthetic turf soccer
field meeting NCAA standards.
Phase Two was the renovation of the existing
track and field facilities which included new
synthetic surface, long jump runways and
sandfilled concrete landing pits, high jump facility,
javelin runway, and a combination discus and
hammer throw cage. Underfield drainage was
also installed in the throw sector area.
The final phase included the installation of a
new, modular press-box to service the soccer
and track facilities on a masonry storage
room base structure. Bleacher seating was
also added for soccer. A colonnade consisting
of masonry piers and a radiused metal canopy
was designed and constructed to announce
the main entrance to the Briner Sports Complex
on the west end of the site.
Briner Sports ComplexBALL STATE UNIVERSITYMuncie, Indiana
Victory Field, described as the “Best AAA
ballpark in America,” is a great addition to the
growing skyline of Indianapolis. The ballpark
has 13,000 fixed seats, 2,000 grass berm seats
and 27 luxury suites. Also included are a press
box and media facilities, administrative offices
for the Indians, home and visiting team lockers,
and concession and maintenance facilities.
The stadium stands on 13.9 acres of what was
a neglected corner of downtown Indianapolis
but is now a lush hub of activity. A natural grass
field system is incorporated in the asymmetrical
ballpark. The field also accommodates high
school, collegiate and major league exhibition
baseball.
Browning Day served as Associate Architect
on the original project in 1996. Since then, we
have provided architectural services for the
owner for numerous projects including adding
the “Cove” a food and beverage amenity space
on the left field line, upgrades to the suites,
several expanded amenity spaces, back-of-the-
house, and ticketing improvements.
Victory Field BallparkINDIANAPOLIS INDIANSIndianapolis, Indiana
The existing Duffy Bass Field was not a fitting
venue for the growing and successful athletic
program at Illinois State University. Our charge
was to improve the facility for athletes and
create an exciting, fan-friendly atmosphere.
The site placement of the existing field includes
a 14’ change in elevation from the spectator
entrance side. This aspect of the site allowed
us to create a concourse stadium design where
fans are situated at the upper level looking
down on the field. This created an excellent way
of allowing spectators to still feel and see the
ongoing game while participating in hospitality
and concessions areas. In the new design, 1000
spectator seats are situated into the existing
hillside. On the upper concourse level are the
media rooms, public restrooms, concessions,
tickets and hospitality deck.

cages, turf fields, an 1,800 square foot press
box, a scoreboard, sports lighting and sound
systems, and two hospitality suites. The
complex also features ample parking, entry
plazas, picnic areas, concessions and restrooms
for fans.
The design uses an “open” concourse stadium
concept that seats up to 2,500 people, and
allows spectators to still feel engaged in the
ongoing game from hospitality and concessions
areas.
Browning Day was responsible for
programming, design, and master planning for
the stadium.

landscaping.
The Ken Byers Tennis Center project is replacing
an existing tennis complex on the campus
of Georgia Institute of Technology. The site
components include 6 competition courts, 4
practice courts and an indoor tennis center with
6 practice courts. The competition courts will
have spectator seating on the south base line to
accommodate 500 fixed seats. Natural turf berm
seating will be provided at the ends of the courts
for lawn seating.
The indoor tennis center will be constructed of
a pre-engineered metal building that has been
architecturally treated to respond in kind to its
context and other campus facilities. Connected
to the indoor practice courts are locker rooms for
both men’s and women’s teams, training rooms for
the athletes, spectator seating on the upper level
that overlooks the practice courts, a team lounge
and coach’s offices. An upper level lobby within the
indoor practice center provides views out over a
entry plaza that affords views of the competition
courts.

the two stadiums without interrupting people
seated to watch the match. ADA-compliant
accommodations and office space are located
below the bleachers on the east side.
