UNI-Dome Renovation

[UNIAlum95]

I didn't like the solid purple team entrance garage door. It needs a graphic of some kind. Otherwise the place is looking great. Even the small things like the painting of the small steps give things a fresh look. The PSC gathering area on the north concourse is a nice addition. Did anyone check out the party deck in the corner?

Oddly enough, Twitter is what you make of it. If you don't go seeking the political garbage and stick to the feed with your follows, you get the things you want to see. Mine is 99% sports and Iowa history.

I guess I'm 'that kind of person.' Good to know.

I can't believe I'm being lumped into that kind of person.

If there is anyone on this site that isn't "that kind of person" it is me. BC can attest to that fact quite well. I've spent 15+ years muting/blocking words/accounts, interacting in certain ways to make sure the feed is what I want, etc. There is a lot of trash from every end of the political spectrum on that site. Doesn't mean it has to exist for you.

The plan is to use the Ever Loyal logo on the north end. The playoff years and conference titles are not coming back.

I get not having every year listed (especially when you open up 20 year gaps). That said there is room to say 33 conference championships, playoff appearances, etc... History is important and that would be a good way to highlight the legacy that lives on at UNI. That way you are only painting over the number to increase the count and not reporting the years.

It would be a huge mistake to not honor our conference Championships and Playoff appearances. I'm fine with not using the wall, but why not large banners? Hang them from the rafters and cover up more of the ugly old concrete walls with Purple banners on the corners of the Dome.

These are not only honoring the players and coaches of the past, but they are literally an advertisement for the success and legacy of our football program to everyone that steps foot in the UNIDome. To prospective players, fans, students, etc. Would be such a silly mistake to not proudly and prominently display these.

I say bring them back when we have one to add to the list. Until then, it just smells of living in the past (think Nebraska).

That's just it, the conference title one was starting to look a little sad....

You don't need to list them yearly. Even the totals are impressive and could add to the atmosphere. I get seeing the 20 year break in conf titles was really tough to look at.

not listing titles conference, not listing playoff appearances etc would be akin to taking the banners down in McLeod... weather you do it on the wall or you hang banners it should be there somewhere. The track programs success should be somewhere in there too. last i knew it was in the concourse maybe?

I think it would be a mistake to remove them. The program has a lot of history and we should show it with pride. And also out of respect to the former players who delivered those wins.

It could be done in a different way...but I think they need to remain inside the Dome (not the outer concourse) in some manner.

We could drop a few banners from the rafters. Like the National Runner-Up one.....

I have it on good authority the playoff/title years ARE in fact returning…eventually. I’m told the AD has had this question asked more times than they can count. They are in the midst of redoing all walls/signage/etc, which will take about a year (and thus why there is something new for every game this season, wasn’t intentional, just how the process goes). When all done all football and track championships will be back. I’m told, as with all remodels, be patient.
