Remodeled Mackey Arena

14,123

If you are a Purdue fan, I'm guessing that when I say this number you know what I am referring to.

I had a chance to go to the Purdue-Nebraska game this past Wed. I went with a friend from St. Lukes, Dwayne Lewis. He has a co-worker who used to be a manager for the Men's Basketball team. So, after the game he was able to hook us up with a tour of the re-modeled Mickey.

We got to see the Basketball offices, the film room, the locker room, the training facility and the practice court. Super cool and I am thankful for the opportunity provided by Dwayne.

BOILER UP!

Oh, and it's no longer 14,123. It is now, 14,240.
