Ha ha I know. What's funny is that the actual Cuban Center Twitter account will occasionally get angry political rants directed at them from people who apparently think that they're like the Cuban embassy or something.

I loved the 3-D replays at Assembly Hall, and it's really cool that the broadcast networks are using them as well. FreeD cameras will also be installed at Memorial Stadium for this coming season. Getting ready to install the new north end zone video board to show off those replays!

No, they do that for all the former players.

Really interesting article. The technology is coming to Memorial Stadium this fall. https://www.ibj.com/articles/63971-mark-cuban-funded-3-d-instant-replay-puts-iu-on-cutting-edge?utm_source=eight-at-8&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=2017-05-31

Opening night, game of the night, primetime, ESPN. Worth it. When was the last time we were THE game of the night?

North scoreboard is now completely gone:

You know we're talking football, right?

North and south video boards were awarded to Panasonic, we've gone with Daktronics in the past.The sound system upgrade is now up for bid. I'd link it but there's not really anything you can look at other than a list of what they're wanting to put in, and I'm not a sound guy so I have no idea what any of it means. A lot of times they don't let you look at the plans anymore on the plan room website.

https://ourindiana.exposure.co/iu-excellence-academy-renderings Just a better way to view all of the renderings, as the IU website's photo gallery feature can often be difficult to work with and view in a high quality. One cool thing about the terrace level is that there will be 2 concession stands: one normal stand, and another one under an overhang in kind of an open grill type set up. And restrooms of course. I believe there will be two elevators and two sets of steps to get up there.

The north board will be smaller, but both will show the same thing. No different than a basketball game. South will be 40x90 and north will be 20x60 (look at Louisville's for a sense of how big that is).

Yep they aren't moving it. Sorry. Although now that there's going to be a video screen in both end zones, I don't really see how there's an issue.

If those screengrabs show up poorly, you can access all the architectural and engineering plans here: https://eplanroom.reprographix.com/cgi-bin/planroom/plans/index.cgi?project_id=IND9942017&userid=demo&process=th2ki.6i.qxiY&site=

For those of you like myself who sometimes need to use the ADA seating, they are expanding the seating at field level on both the east and west sides, and also adding four seating platforms: two on each side near the entrance ramps (so about halfway up). So a few seats will be removed to make way for this. This is in addition to the ADA seating in the north end zone.

The revamped Woodlawn Avenue will extend further north next summer (2018):

Pretty cool aerial view. You can also see the progress of marching hundred hall across the street from Assembly Hall.

Credit to awaHoosier over at TheHoosier for these: North end zone scoreboard removal/ new video board about to go up: The last remnants of the chain-link fence will soon be gone as that will be where the concourses connect. The nearest portion of the photo is where the loading dock will be, which will thankfully now be much more hidden: https://postimg.io/image/mqgc6gat9/ https://postimg.org/image/k5npkp2rj/

Looks like they are starting to remove the north scoreboard:

The main reason we even went to a bowl last year was because of Allen's defense. Our scoring offense was 88th, and our red zone offense was in the 120s. If we have even a functioning offense, we will win at least six. The team looked better prepared in the bowl game than I've seen them look in a while. There is far too much talent to only win 4 games.

Of course. Well said!

Back on topic...The nutrition aspect and the new dining area is a big thing in recruiting right now. The current Hoosier Room is buried underneath the west stands, so this new one will be a big plus for all the athletes: "As part of the Excellence Academy, the Tobias Nutrition Center will be home to one of the premier nutrition facilities and dining spaces in all of college athletics. The nearly 10,000 square foot space will provide a place to fuel the nearly 650 students who participate in IU's 24 varsity sports. The main dining area will have seating available for 300 people with various table sizes and includes large windows to allow for natural light and magnificent views into Memorial Stadium. Large televisions will be also scattered throughout the area. Lunch and dinner will be served five days a week with a daily breakfast oasis for students. Service will be in a food station concept with stations including Italian, grill, homestyle, subs and wraps, large salad, fruit and soup bar. Menu items will be prepared fresh on site by dining staff at each of these stations. The breakfast oasis will be a morning fueling station for students with a variety of options to start the day. Two large beverage stations will be installed including a water bottle filling station as new electronic menu boards will display what is available each day."

The guy is either a troll, as he continues to ignore the main points that everyone is making, or he seriously just does not understand football. I'm really not sure which is true, because he's completely wrong on basic aspects of our team like our offense, so who knows.
