Serious Question... Why does IU self immolate and get the death penalty over minor allegations and nothing happens to any of the other blue bloods?

I don't disagree with you; however, I would have loved to have seen all the possible options to choose from when considering a venue upgrade. Although the seats would be better if we played at a Bankers Life type venue, i would think it would be way too antiseptic for the Hoosiers. If they could build a newer stadium that encompassed the steep sides and acoustics of Assembly hall and mixed them in with elements from bankers life, Hinkle Fieldhouse, the Old Field house (HPER building), I think IU could have created one of the best arenas in college basketball without sacrificing nostalgia or character. On a side note: I'd love to see IU play a throw-back game in the Hyper Building with old school uni's, limited seats and a classic team like Butler. That would be fun.

I agree with you. I’m no engineer, but I wonder if it is possible to remove the balconies and take the number of seats lost and move them to behind the baskets. (If that makes sense) Not to pile on FG, but I think there may have been a better way to go about the renovations Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
