its a bit anticlimactic when you can easily count the attendees.

Students showed up for that game and it was freezing. I sat on the student side and we had to sit at the top. Great atmosphere and great victory (31-24).

I think the most memorable weeknight game I have attended was the 2013 Ball State game. Not a big crowd, but very very spirited for an in-conference game. So many momentum swings and just a great signature game by Lynch closing out those pesky Cardinals. Great start to the night with Jim Corneilson anthem.

I’ll always remember this game for what happened after it. As Ball St was walking out, an NIU fan shouted “Hey Lembo, did you tell your players you’re leaving for UConn yet?” And Lembo confronted the fan.

I may or may not have been the person sitting over the visitors door who got under his skin. It was fantastic (or so I'd assume). I may or may not know someone who knows that coach and was told that he had to address the team at the half because of the rumors being yelled out. I mean that's what I heard...

best game ever.

It is my understanding that the wrestling team and soccer teams use the locker rooms inside of the stadium. Are they going to renovate the inside of the stadium and leave the locker room spaces untouched? So everything inside will be nice and then you have these old locker rooms. That would be like renovating your house and then leaving everything but the kitchen untouched.

Akron built that new stadium....and well....

I could not believe how nice that stadium is. Finally had a chance to get there a few weeks ago. Pretty sobering perspective of Huskie Stadium after seeing their stadium

no reason for wrestling to be using lockers there they don't have competitions there. If its for practice, they can have an old room. Soccer, again not really a big issue. Fix the things that will have a positive effect on the bottom line. Plus isn't there a building on the plans for soccer anyway? Don't duplicate costs and effort if it already has a planned course of action.
