Sod rolled out yesterday on the Bud Bowman Intramural Field. SUU's first student only intramural field is located directly east of the J.L. Sorenson Physical Education Building and is where the old city pool and hydrotube were located (Cedar City recently opened a new aquatic center on Leigh Hill).
Bowman field measures 360 feet x 220 feet and recently had lighting installed to allow for night use beginning fall semester 2011. The field is a needed addition to campus as the number of SUU intramural teams hovers around 50, making it one of the highest student participation rates (if not the highest) in the Utah System of Higher Education.
The field is named after Bud Bowman, a 1948 alumnus who lived just a few blocks from campus. He retired from the Utah Highway Patrol and then spent sixteen years in the Utah House of Representatives. During his legislative career he was credited with helping to secure funds for local skate parks, the Emma Eccles Jones Education Building, the J. L. Sorenson Physical Education Building and the property where the intramural field is now located. Bud passed away May 20, 2009 from cancer.

The area is normally a required add-on to campus since the amount of SUU intramural clubs hovers close to 5
