How did they not know that there’s a leak and the court is wet way before game time.
The attention to detail for this program is baffling. Lol

I'm sure someone would've noticed it during shoot around if it was there. Still, ridiculous. Home opener may end up being cancelled. If the 500 people there needed one more reason to stop going to games then this might be it

Unbelievable!

And it could very well cost NIU a W vs UWGB, needed this game to at least get some feet wet.

Glad I didn't drive two hours to the game.

Leak from where? Above or below?

The real reason this game needs to be played. I dumped 6.95 on it to monitor online hahaha. In retrospect, very sad to pay money to see NIU/St Francis

Game being rescheduled. I guess anyone who wasted their Friday night for that just gets a "sorry better luck next time". Pathetic

I understand the caution with a wet floor, would be disasterous to have an injury due to that, but my gosh, yes, not a good look for the program.

Did they fire the stadium maintenance crew or something? This whole no budget in IL really has residual effects....

Reminds me of the 1980s road game at SIU where the Huskies bussed down to Carbondale, didn't play then turned around and went back to DeKalb. Still don't know what went down there. Anyone know?

Pretty embarrassing for a program that’s trying to turn things around.

Embarrassing beyond belief.
The on-and-off cluster**** circle standing around the one towel on the court in between the announced delays just added to the insanity. How many people with walkie-talkies does it take to act like they're doing something?
Supposedly rescheduled for Thursday Nov. 16.
Didn't see anyone jump up when they tried offering a half-price special at the concession stand: souvenir cup and one hot dog for $5. Can't believe a soda in those souvenir cups and one hot dog normally cost $10 at the Convo. Still covering high school sports and guarantee you can get two better-tasting hot dogs plus a Gatorade for less.

What a joke.
Great way to start the season.

Give you a ton of props for being there.

The Convo is only 15 years old and its already leaking?

official word released re: why the floor was wet:
Unavoidable Act of GOD: Olde Victor E Huskie repeatedly peed himself following too many beers earlier at Fattys

Should NIU be on the hook for expenses incurred by StF for a return trip to DeKalb?

Didn't Toledo have a game awhile back get postponed due to a pipe breakage? I don't think its unheard of, but embarrassing! Just glad this wasn't a once in a life time big name opponent!

Toledo hosting NIU in February of 2015 was postponed due to a water main break near the arena. Game was played the following day and NIU won.
