A $1 million gift from the Shapland family is set to make a real difference for U of I Athletics, and now the east circle drive at State Farm Center will carry their name. For generations, the Shaplands have been deeply woven into Champaign-Urbana’s fabric—supporting local sports, business, and community life. With 34 Illini grads in the family and decades of cheering on the Fighting Illini, this tribute feels like a true hometown celebration. How do you feel about honoring local families in such a public way? What other community legacies deserve this kind of recognition? #Safety #ChampaignUrbana #Illini
