Disagree. Both Purdue and Northwestern just built/are building Football-Only Performance Complexes that are bigger and/or superior to IUs.
I don't get your point. So you think by building a nice new locker room and training facility it nullifies the deficiencies in their stadiums?
My point is IU’s football facility is not as good as Purdue’s, and their smallish stadium isn’t leaps and bounds ahead of Ross-Ade, and once we address the SEZ, that will be evened out. So I disagreed with your premise of “clearly worse facilities”. I’ve seen IUs, they were very impressive 4 years ago.
It is sad to me that a person cant go 3 hours without a beer. If you can't enjoy a game without alcohol then you are going to be social rather than the sporting event.
If it fills the stadium does it really matter why they went? I bet Glass would take 20k more people at football games even if they just went there for the social aspect
As I’ve already said, once you get a chance to see what others have, you’ll have a far better understanding of where IU stands. Until then, you don’t have anything to add here. If you want to be concerned, be concerned about your admitted lack of exposure to the other school’s athletic facilities.
LOL!!! No bias there. You have actual wood lockers and LED lighting. Wooo. Meanwhile, IU is putting in a state of the art rehab facility complete with actual whirlpools. Purdue has a couple training tables from 1918 and an X-ray machine located at the veterinary clinic with upscale transportation being a cargo van. Top notch!
That stuffs for the visitors. We just opened a $70 million Football-Only performance complex in August.
I don't know about you, but I'd like bathrooms in memorial stadium that aren't reminiscent of a dank new York subway station.
Plenty of people in this thread have tried to help give you knowledge and insight as to how IU’s athletic facilities stack up against their Big Ten brethren. Unlike you, many of us have actually seen them and are able to make meaningful comparisons. You’d be well served to learn about a subject before you try to tell others about it, as well as to drop some silly crusade about a poster who got the better of you long ago (another poster in this thread IM’d me with details).
I’ve been to your little stadium many times, and we are not “decades behind”. Once we get the SEZ done, we will be at least even with the stadium, and we are already ahead of IU in Football Only facilities.
I agree Bobinski took Glass behind the woodshed in terms of last year's coaching search, but Purdue is nowhere close to IU in terms of facilities. Football or basketball.
You are simply incorrect. I have seen IUs facilities and they don’t have anything that matches Purdue’s $70 million Football-Only Performance Complex. Most of IUs facilities are shared with other sports.
There were plenty of posts in this thread that provided the information you needed to increase your knowledge about IU’s and other Big Ten school’s athletic facilities. Please don’t blame me for your willful ignorance if you choose not to learn. Somehow, I don’t think you were ever interested in that, though. You were looking to start a fight and got frustrated when nobody fell for it. Best for you to exclude yourself from these threads if you’re not able to add anything. Thanks.
You evidently haven’t been to Ross Ade in a LONG time. Nice try though!
Realizing you are losing the argument, and then in order to deflect trying to pin an old, irrelevant thread on me.
Why would someone go three hours without beer if they don't have to? If i wanted that Id go hang out at the Baptist church instead of a sporting event.
Because people who drink to much at sporting events ruin it for people who is actually there to watch the game.
Just easier not having alcohol at the games. If you want to drink go to a bar or stay home and drink because it is dangerous having people on the roads after drinking.
