New Coach is a really good coach. She, unfortunately, does not have a lot to work with, and the schedule doesn’t help. Thankfully she has nice facilities to sell.

Although I doubt anyone will miss it (it pretty much sucked), IU wrestling played their last event at University Gym today. They and the volleyball team will move into Wilkinson Hall in the fall.

I hope I haven’t posted this already but they are opening up the Henke Hall of Champions this year to season ticket holders instead of weekly corporate groups. $800 for the season, TVs inside with other games, food, beer/wine (can take it out to red seats)... https://spark.adobe.com/page/QXvjCKC3rUSRC/

Good podcast with our head of recruiting. About 25 minutes... https://twitter.com/iuhoosiers/status/961995531433267206

Our offense didn’t slow down. We were 5th in the country this past season in terms of most plays ran per game and offensive tempo. It was faster than in 2016 with KW.

I’m intrigued to see Watercutter and TJ Ivy out there. A good combo of young and “old.” Timian is just flat out good. Lucky to have him, especially since he’s a walk-on (although he earned a scholarship last year).

Not sure. I just know of the safety transfer that is considering us.

That’s a pretty freaking incredible accomplishment for this program.

Yes. They’re adding more seating platforms to both the east and west sides, in addition to the areas at field level and in the north end zone. They're doing a bunch of ADA upgrades around the stadium (press box/suites/stadium club, restrooms, concessions). For the restrooms, most, if not all, of the old troughs are being removed.

Random: Hallway under the west stands that is remarkably hard to find a picture of. This hallway (like the concourse...finally) will connect all around (underneath) the entire stadium so that all of the facilities at MS will be easily accessible and connected.

Oh hell yes.

This is a good example of why we’re adding what we’re adding: Nebraska... http://www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=1097039 Indiana... https://iuhoosiers.exposure.co/iu-excellence-academy-renderings?locale=en/guidelines?more=true?more=true And it’s proof that what we’re getting is top notch. And why we have to keep doing this. ^^^ This is a good video but my god does the music suck. ^^^

On a related note, Marching Hundred Hall is complete: http://construction.iu.edu/projects/major-new-building/marching-hundred-hall.html

Late July/early August. Once the facilities from the old Hoosier Room and rehab areas move over to the SEZ this summer, work will begin on expanding and renovating the locker room and players lounge. Scoreboard is contractually obligated to be up by August 1.

Seating platforms

I’d move MSU into the could win category. We beat them two years ago, were leading well into the fourth quarter in East Lansing last year, and they aren’t exactly having a smooth operation up there right now.

New seating options for 2018: rooftop patio available for everyone (two concession stands, restrooms, accessible by steps and elevator), new club area with outdoor seating (alcohol), new private suite (alcohol). The club area and suite will be on the concourse level. The club area will double as the new training table hall for the athletes, as previously mentioned in this thread...

ADA renovations currently ongoing: concessions, restrooms, more seating platforms in both the east and west stands, press box, and suites...

LED ribbon board will be placed above the field level windows in the SEZ, as in the NEZ. Play clock will be lowered, temp scoreboard removed...
