Northwestern University dedicated the striking new Welsh-Ryan Arena on Friday, November 2, following its complete renovation, opening the doors of a world-class facility built to be the most accessible in college athletics.
The transformation of one of Northwestern’s most used and versatile venues was made possible by the generosity of loyal Northwestern benefactors and alumni, most notably Trustee Patrick G. Ryan ’59, ’09 H (’97, ’00 P) and Shirley Welsh Ryan ’61 (’97, ’00 P).
