(AP) — Missouri university officials have approved plans for a more than $15 million athletic center.

The Maryville Daily Forum (http://bit.ly/2qqzwsJ ) reported that Northwest Missouri State University's Board of Regents approved plans Thursday to construct an indoor multipurpose center which will serve both students and the community.

The plan calls for a nearly 140,000 square-foot facility that will have a practice turf for football, an indoor track and structures for baseball and softball.
