Nelson Family Bubble
Indoor Practice Facility
A gift from the estate of siblings Jim Nelson and Lynn Nelson-Paretta assisted in the development of the bubble on UJ’s campus.
“We are so thankful to the Nelson family for their support of UJ,” said Brett Moser, Vice President of Development and Alumni Relations. “Jim covered the Jimmies as a sportswriter for many seasons, while Lynn was so thankful for her education at Jamestown College in the 1960s. Both have been longtime supporters of UJ, and we are grateful for their desire to give back.”
Looking back on the record-breaking snowfall in the winter of 2023 and how it impacted spring sports, UJ Athletic Director Austin Hieb expressed excitement for the new facility, calling it a “game-changer” for Jimmie Athletics.
“We can’t thank the Nelson family enough for their gift,” Hieb said. “We will be able to play both soccer and softball games inside the Nelson Bubble. When you pair that with additional practice capabilities for all sports, strength training and the stress it will take off the rest of our facilities in the winter months, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a student-athlete who isn’t positively impacted by this indoor facility.”
