Actually they would have been better off having the Brick Selling display on the West Entrance as most of the fans walked into the building that way from the parking lots Saturday.

Did anyone see the NiuDogPound.com brick ?

It's not a brick its on the silver wall plate display inside.

It doesn't say the web address so that kinda stinks but it was still very nice to see.

It's a much larger area of "bricks" than I expected.

I didn't begin to count. While they did sell a lot.....there's a lot of bricks in that area.

It felt good to be a "very small part" of the project. Kind of cool to know it will be there years from now.

Loved the new huskies statue. However we cant get rid of the pigdog because we win with the pigdog. If you remove it we'll be cursed.

Are the brick's considered a donation, tax deductible?

Yes, but less the value of the replica brick you will receive. They will communicate that value to you for tax purposes.

Hey 359--I wouldn't believe Mr. dog(shi*) er fan. Always consult your tax advisor. Even if he is a tax consultant I wouldn't believe him.

particlarly enjoyed the panoramic view of HS from YC endzone.....and was, however, particularly agitated by close up of pig dog.

when I arrived at 10am for homecoming weeks ago the gates to HS playing field nearest YC were open and I invited myself onto field and got a close up of PG...even uglier upclose and personal but still had to touch it. Maybe that was the source of the aroma wafting over stadium...

Great shot, I'd pay money for the same shot with the team entering a full stadium

....and risk getting the surface trashed in short order?

I love our new facilities. Check out what Oregen just opened... Pure craziness.

A portion can be deducted. You can order a 2nd one at a lower price for your home or office. Classy look and helps NIU's Athletic Department as most athletes will use the center.
