Oh wow that's really cool. Will that scoreboard be updated real time with game info? Looks like there's some sort of wiring hooked up to the board.

Scoreboards will be fully operational during games. Article and more pics here:

The updates to Assembly Hall looks really good.

The real loser today? Illinois. Now their Assembly Hall looks even worse in comparison to the real Assembly Hall.

This might be my favorite touch. Note the chairs...

It's more than just those losers, Mackey Arena looks like more of a fresh turd now too.

If you didn't catch it, they're refurbishing those old arched basketball goals/stanchions from the 70s-80s and putting them up by the old court logo on the north side. They were left to rust on the golf course like 15 years ago. Kudos to the current admin for putting in this effort.

May have to take a half day on a Monday to get one of those tours cool Dad was talking about

The before and after of the press room is absolutely hilarious:

Although they will be sitting up here now, which adds 100 more student seats...

They almost had a new home about 5 years ago. They were right behind the first hole near whatever that building is/was with the ability to get a truck back there. Not that we looked into mirroring them...

11-3

I guess this is the last update until the statue goes up. The old goals have been saved and restored in the north lobby!

Been a pleasure. I'm just glad they saved our Carnegie Hall. :)
