Athletics & Recreation
Supporting Sporting
Our D-I athletics and campus recreation invigorate the region.
Packers, Timber Rattlers and Blizzards, oh my! We're a region rich in successful sports teams. UW-Green Bay plays a key role in that success. Ignite the Future is here to support Phoenix Athletics and the transformation of the historic Shorewood property to bring our region together on the court and in the field.
Upping Our Game
Recreational and athletic opportunities at UW-Green Bay are vital not just to achieve a healthy life-balance, but also to attract new students and build community. We are at a tipping point as we head into our fourth decade of Division I athletics and begin a new era of recreation for the historic Shorewood property. Let's go!

Athletics
UW-Green Bay and Phoenix Athletics are critical to the growth and vibrancy of the region and State. We have a tradition-rich athletics program built by legendary coaches, staff and student-athletes and tremendous support of many amazing fans, friends and alumni. Entering our 40th year in Division I, it’s time for the Phoenix to rise and ensure we are in a position of strength within the changing landscape of college athletics around the country.
A successful Division I athletics program enhances the institutional profile, helps inspire and instill connections on campus, drives enrollment growth, increases school spirit and enthusiasm and helps drive home the mission, vision and values of the University.
Ignite the Future will provide our coaches and student-athletes with the championship level support they need to excel in the classroom and competition. The focus of this campaign will be to provide immediate and long-term support for athletics scholarships, competitive excellence funds and sport endowment funds.
Shorewood Redevelopment
UW-Green Bay has an opportunity to transform the historical Shorewood property to an amazing multi-purpose athletic and recreational complex that will be a tremendous asset for the community, University and environment. The redevelopment will include a premier cross country course for use by UW-Green Bay’s men’s and women’s cross country teams as well as youth and high school meets, and community runs. In the winter months, the course will become a Nordic ski training course for UW-Green Bay’s Nordic ski program and community recreation.
