[RBB89]

is large.

So much for modesty... ;)

Eh it's different went it's on the ground and not hanging from the rafters. It's still huge, but it's a perspective thing too.

[RBB89]

Also, there are a good amount of IU fans showing their asses on the Internet by whining about a donor's name being on the scoreboard. Way to spit on a $40 million gift. Also, it was announced TWO YEARS AGO.

What's the size of that? Was looking to place one on the side of the mountain so all of Honolulu could watch a "how to" video on driving.

Oh yeah.......that'll eat. That thing rules. I bet it shoots fireworks too.

Good question. I'd like to know the size (heh) too. Fred likes his toys. Football is getting two new boards in the upcoming renovation. The current one at MS is only 6 years old.

The old one at AH though, yeesh. That thing got passed by a loooong while ago.

If Fred has anything to do with it it'll shoot fireworks from every direction. I'm positive he's getting kickbacks on those firework contracts.

Slightly off tangent but not really - I think Fred Glass is really helping IU athletics make strides where he can.  He may not be able to directly produce wins on the court, field, etc., but he's making sure our athletic teams have what it takes to compete and keep up with the joneses.  You really can't take that for granted.

Agreed. I think a lot of the criticism comes from people, myself included, who love IU basketball and football but don't really care about IU's other sports very much. He's doing exactly what an athletic director should do, I just care about iufb and iubb more than IU athletics as a whole so a lot of the things he does go unnoticed. 

I don't like the new name at all, but it's whatever. When you donate $40 million that's what you get to do. At least "assembly hall" is still included.

It's about time the Mecca of college basketball will have a grand entranceway! Looks gorgeous!

Dumb question does anyone know if, with all the technology being poured into this renovation, there will be a feature that allows for video to be played on the court as some colleges have? I think that is so cool and would be a wow factor for fans and recruits alike

You can (briefly) see the work being done in the north lobby here. New escalators there too.

Not that I'm aware of, but who knows with the Cuban Center.
