Monon Bell Classic moves to neutral site in Muncie for 2026 matchup
Summary

The Monon Bell Classic between Wabash and DePauw will be played at Ball State's Scheumann Stadium in Muncie on November 14, 2026, for the first time in 104 years. The game has historically alternated locations between Greencastle and Crawfordsville, but DePauw's stadium is under demolition to facilitate a new athletic facility. The move will increase ticket availability, as Scheumann Stadium's capacity is approximately 22,500, compared to the former venues. DePauw will be designated the home team at the neutral site, preserving some traditional elements. Tickets go on sale in September, with additional logistics expected to follow.
