"I just think it was cool to meet Ben, who is an amazing player. It was also cool to watch him come back to his college to let them reward him, even though he's gone so far in his career. He was very nice and made an amazing speech at the Hall of Fame dinner, you could tell it meant a lot to him. Congrats to him and all the inductees!" -- Emily

*Thank you Emily!!

Ben Roethlisberger Field 2010 viewsIn October of 2014, Ben and Ashley agreed to donate $1 million towards the Indoor Sports Center at Miami University.

The 91,000-square-foot complex that took about a year to construct was funded by $13 million in donations, and it will be used by student-athletes, intramural and club sports teams as well as youth athletic programs for tournaments.

The facility includes a full 120-yard football field with a synthetic playing surface similar to neighboring Yager Stadium. It also has netting for baseball, softball and golf; four 100-yard sprint lanes, a high jump and long jump equipment for track; storage space and an observation deck.

According to the Miami Redhawks site, this new facility â€œwill positively impact all 19 of Miamiâ€™s sports programs and allow teams to train year-roundâ€.

February 9, 2013 - Miami University Hall of Fame Induction Weekend1992 viewsBengals fan and MU alum Dan Plettner not only had the opportunity to attend the Hall of Fame Induction Dinner last Saturday, but also the opportunity to meet and chat with Big Ben.

He was kind enough to share his story with us:

I had a splendid experience at Ben Roethlisbergerâ€™s Miami University Hall of Fame Induction Dinner on Saturday evening. Ben was inducted alongside his posthumous coach, Terry Hoeppner. Benâ€™s emotions and words were a great tribute to Coach Hoeppner.

I had brought a football for which I frankly am still working toward a decent historical knowledge. I went up to Ben shortly before dinner and told him I had something I thought he might like to see. He smiled immediately as he saw the Redhawks logo on the ballâ€™s finish and then he began examining the ball pretty closely.

I am still uncertain whether the football was actually used in practice and/or gamesâ€¦ and whether it was definitively ever touched by Ben in 2003, but I loved the ball 10 times more the moment Ben remarked about the ball to the effect, â€œthis ball has a lot of history.â€ Another former player at the event informed that the ball was a new model/style in â€™03.

I enjoyed a normal conversation with â€œBig Benâ€ and he seemed to find my challenge of being a proud Miami alum simultaneous with being a Bengals fan pretty humorous. After talking, when I informed him that Iâ€™d be honored if he choose to sign the ball he graciously reached for my pen and took his time to choose a place to autograph it. After thanking him, I felt like a little kid and discretely walked the football around the perimeter of the room (rather than taking a direct route back to my table) so as not to â€œopen the floodgatesâ€ for others to approach and ask for his autograph just before the dinner commenced.

Later, listening to the speeches from Ben (which truely honored Terry Hoeppner) and Terryâ€™s wife really fully made me appreciate my good fortune for observing a special night in the history at Miami University.

It also helped me to appreciate Ben on a level different from what Iâ€™ve seen during his playing career. Ben showcased humor as a nice compliment to heartfelt emotions, even joking about a fictitious â€œBrianâ€ who had been accidentally introduced (instead of Ben).

Ben, if you ever happen to read this: thank you for helping me to cherish your contribution to Miami University Athletics.

Best Always,
Dan Plettner

"It was such an awesome day! Getting to meet Ben was more of a thrill than I can express. He was so nice to everyone and didn't seem to mind so many wanting a picture and autograph. He even signed my Terrible Towel. Getting to attend a Steeler game at Heinz Field is on my bucket list but of that doesn't happen, I've experienced the next best thing, meeting Ben. Being part of his website has made my day!!" -- Diane

*Thank you Diane!
