Bloomington is home to one of the state’s most beautiful liberal arts colleges, Illinois Wesleyan University. The Illinois Wesleyan Titans hold many of their athletic contests at the Shirk Center, a multi-purpose athletic, recreation and wellness complex that contains facilities for basketball, volleyball, track and tennis. Seating capacity is 2,400 with room for an additional 400 spectators. Other incredible features include a 200-meter, six-lane indoor track, two batting cages and four courts for basketball, tennis, volleyball and badminton. With all these amenities, it’s hard to imagine why a tournament planner wouldn’t love the Shirk Center. Not to mention, the complex was selected to host the Midwest Nationals Wrestling Tournament in July of 2019.
