This post only has meaning for IU fans, but it's a huge deal for us. The trustees of Indiana University have agreed that IU needs a new basketball arena to replace the old, crappy Assembly Hall. We couldn't be happier about this. IU won four of its five national titles while using Assembly Hall as its home court. Yes, the building has a lot of history. Yes, IU treasures its basketball tradtions and history. Face it people, the building is a dump, the sightlines are terrible, and honestly, there aren't enough seats. The most ironic thing about Assembly Hall is that, despite the tradtion and history in that building, Assembly Hall isn't even that old. It was built in 1970 and it's hard to believe that anyone approved its setup even then. As loud and supportive as Indiana fan is, the walls along the sides of the court and the ultra-steep stands eliminate more of the homecourt advantage than people think. There's also not a student section. Christ, even Purdue has a student section, and they can't do anything right.
