Good thing we don't have a large berm in that end zone or you wouldn't have been able to get that shot.....05-stirthepot

I am really excited for NIU with this new indoor facility. I also like the placement of the indoor a lot! However, and I sincerely hope that NIU doesnt feel like they need to paint the upper half or the roof of this thing RED!

The roof will be white and I doubt the panels will be painted...so no it wont be!...but there will be red.

I think something more neutral that blends with the outdoors and surrounding buildings would be better. When viewing the pictures it draws your eyes away from your buetiful endzone facility right to it. I closed my eyes a couple times and tried again and my eyes go right to the big red and white. I personally dont like it, but hopefully most others do.

I agree...I find the red to just be tacky, wish it was more glass/brick based but I'm sure cost is associated with that and let's be honest, it just needs to excel in function, not appearance. The bears indoor facility went function over appearance more-so....

I wonder if NCAA '14 will have this in the stadium? They really have stepped their game up replicating the actual stadiums this past year or 2...

They thought this one out pretty well. Most indoors that have anything other than a White roof have major heating and cooling issues. With the need to have a White roof the Red sides make sense. I love it.

Just amazed at how much of the lower wall they have up in the past 2 hours.

This part should be finished, except for access areas, by the end of the week.

I wish there was more gray/silver and less white on the sides, even if the roof needs to be white for cooling reasons...

Spoke with Mark last week, he reiterated less than 100k to go, they are running just a couple days behind (not a big deal at this point), a form will be sent out to donors for what to put on the wall, and they are real excited about having the 100yard hallway between the YC and the CPC. They need to figure out what to do with that.

I will suggest that they build a long urinal trough. The flow of urine for 100 yards somehow seems exciting and challenging at the same time. At the very least, it would certainly make it unique.

?...How can they be really excited about something that they don't have a plan for yet?

Still guessing that the additional 1mil from Chessick is going towards something else...ribbon screens?

Wow! That thing is HUGE. They're making some real progress on it. I'm looking forward to seeing it next time we're in DeKalb. Of course it will be finished by then!

Hey NIU8484 - You touched on another off-season topic. "Will NCAA'XX have <insert stadium upgrade, fight song, or new uni's here>?" If past years are any indication they won't have the CPC in it until at least 2 versions from now. So I'm guessing NCAA'16.

Maybe they'll get the black jerseys in '14 but that's wishful thinking too.

And don't get your hopes up for the fight song. We've been wondering that for a decade or so.
